moda ( moh'-dah )

noun ( fashion, style )

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.

Mi esposa lee revistas de moda, y por esto y porque compra y escoge mi ropa, supongo que me visto a la moda, pero la verdad es que no puedo estar seguro de eso, porque nunca presto ni lo más mínimo de atención a ese tipo de cosa.

My wife reads fashion magazines, and because of this and because she buys and picks out my clothes, I suppose that I dress fashionably, but the truth is that I cannot be sure of that, because I never pay even the least amount of attention to that type of thing.

I suppose in all honesty that my wife has instilled enough sense of fashion into me that I can recognize that these individuals do not demonstrate it. - bosquederoble, Oct 18, 2014

Hoy en dia hay una moda de los nombres de bebés, en que el pequeño se llama un appellido en vez de un nombre de pila. También, a veces las niñas se dan nombres de niños, que es muy confundente.

These days there is a fashion in babies' names, where the little one is given a surname instead of a Christian name. Also, sometimes girls are given boys' names, which is very confusing.
