La Palabra Del Dia: "pardo"
pardo ( pahr'-doh )
adjective ( brown; overcast )
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.

Creo que un oso pardo es más peligroso que un oso negro, porque los pardos a veces atacan cuando se asustan, y los negros normalmente solo si tienen un cachorro, pero, sin embargo, los dos son peligrosos, y debido a que hay un negro en su propiedad, mi madre siempre se pasea con un arma y varios perros.
I think that a grizzly bear is more dangerous than a black bear, because the grizzlies sometimes attack when they are frightened, and the black bears normally only if they have a cub, but, nonetheless, both are dangerous, and due to having a black bear on her land, my mother always takes her walk with a gun and several dogs.

I only want to add that "pardo" is not a word that is used very much.
In Spain, we only used it to talk about the "oso pardo" but not for hair color (castaño), eyes color (marrones) or a cloudy day (nublado or plomizo). Probably in small areas of Spain some people still use "pardo" as the "word of the day" said, but i think that those are old meanings.
