callado ( kah-yah'-doh )

adjective ( quiet, reserved )

We are currently looking for a corrector for the Spanish sentences. If you are interested, please send me a pm. In the meantime, please help each other as you are able.

There are many native English speakers here, most of us can offer great suggestions to the English sentences. I will do my best to go through them all, too. Use today's Word of the Day in your own Spanish sentence (and include the English translation as well). Try to use the word in a completely new way and vote on the sentences you like best. The winner will be chosen based upon the correct use of the word as well as the number of votes.

Guidelines:

Write sentences at least 5 words long, but don't write a paragraph either. Write your Spanish sentence, but include the English translation as well. Make the corrections suggested by other users and moderators in the comments section (try not to use personal pronouns unless absolutely necessary). Use your own words! (Don't use a translator, copy from a book, use song lyrics, etc.) Please keep political, religious or personal statements to a minimum. This is a practice game.

Priefero permanecer callado cuando un mujer me grita indebidamente porque tengo mucho miedo de las mujeres y me dan muchos temores .. estoy temblando en mis pantalones mientras escribir esto.

I prefer to stay quiet when a woman shouts at me unduly because I am very scared of women and I am shivering in my pants while writing this .. hahaha

Women please spare me from your wrath, I am just a little guy .. Mujeres por favor perdonenme de su ira smile Solo soy un pobrecito :(

Una vez, hace muchas décadas, decidí dar un paseo en coche por el campo a algún lugar tranquilo. Escogí la destinación el destino y salí, pero durante el viaje, mientras me acercaba al pueblo, encontré un embotellamiento terrible. Había un festival de manzanas aquél día, y el pueblo, normalmente muy callado, fue un lío. Y yo aprendí a mirar el periódico antes de emprender cualquier viaje.

Once, a number of decades ago, I decided to take a ride through the country to somewhere peaceful. I choose the destination and left, but during my trip, as I approached the town, I ran into a horrible traffic jam. There was an apple festival that day, and the town, normally very quiet, was a mess. And I learned to look at the newspaper before setting off on any journey.

Lincoln tiene razón, pero no hay mucha gente que puede permanecer callado.

It is much better to remain silent,and they suspect your foolishness that speak and take away any doubt of this

Lincoln is right, but there aren't many people who can remain silent.

When a toddler gets quiet, you better check on his whereabouts immediately.

Cuando un niño pequeño hágase tranquilo, debe investigar a él y su paradero inmediatamente.
