enamorar ( ehn-ah-moh-rahr' )

verb ( to make someone fall in love, to win someone over )

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.

Para hacer que mi esposa se enamorara de mí, además de xxxllevarlexxx llevarla a restaurantes buenos y cosas así, limpié sus canalones, arreglé su secador y arreglé el grifo de ella que estaba goteando, porque mi esposa prefiere que un hombre sea útil y no sólo un adorno.

In order to make my wife fall in love with me, in addition to taking her to nice restaurants and such, I cleaned her gutters, fixed her dryer, and fixed the faucet of hers that was dripping, because my wife prefers that a man be useful and not just an adornment.

I didn't fall in love with my husband at first sight. It was his gentle strength, kindness, humor, and intelligence that won me over.

No caí en amor con mi marido a primera vista. Era su fuerza apacible, amabilidad, humor, y inteligencia que me enamoró.
