amoroso ( ah-moh-roh'-soh )

adjective ( loving, affectionate )

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.

In your sentence "that I've seen" or "that I've ever seen" would work well if not better. This was a wonderful film! - Jubilado, Oct 12, 2014

Los tríangulos amorosos no funcionan tan bien en la vida real como en las películas, ni siquiera si la tercera persona sea no más que la máscota familiar ..

Love triangles don't work as well in real life as they do in films. Not even if the third party is is only the family pet..

Algunas personas, y animales también, están amorosas solamente cuando quieren algo. La expresión inglés por eso es "amor armario".

Some people, and animals too, are affectionate only when they want something. The English expression for this is "cupboard love".

Joydeep, the internet gives me this बहुत ही अच्छा पिल्ला (very nice puppy in Hindi), How would you write that with the Roman alphabet? - Jubilado, Oct 12, 2014
Yes Sir,, it will be written in roman letters as "Bahut hi acha pilla" but there is one word missing at the end "bahut hi acha pilla hai" - Joydeep_Singh, Oct 12, 2014
but hindi can't be pronounced properly reading the roman letters .. hehe - Joydeep_Singh, Oct 12, 2014
it needs its own script (the one you have posted) - Joydeep_Singh, Oct 12, 2014
Thanks, Joydeep! A little diversion from Spanish and as I always tell myself: Who knows? Someday,,, - Jubilado, Oct 12, 2014

La mayoría de la gente del mundo es amorosa entre su propio tipo, pero es más difícil con alguien diferente.

The majority of people in the world are affectionate amongst their own kind, but it is more difficult with someone different.

He notado que, en general, cuando más viejo se pone una persona , su naturaleza se hace más amorosa.

I have noticed that, in general, older a person gets more loving his nature becomes.

Ponerse (to become) is generally used for states of mind, for example me puse nervioso antes del examen ...i became nervous before the exam - Joydeep_Singh, Oct 12, 2014
