desordenado ( dehs-ohr-deh-nah'-doh )

adjective ( disorganized, messy )

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.

Aunque mi escritorio normalmente está un poco desordenado, siempre sé donde todo está colocado, y si alguien lo limpiara, entonces yo no pudiera encontrar nada.

Although my desk is usually a little messy, I always know where everything is located, and if someone were to clean it, then I would not be able to find anything.

My husband keeps all his papers on the floor and strangely, has no problem finding thins after a fewhours of looking for them, because I put something away.. - annierats, Nov 11, 2014
If someone can find things, he is organized. In this case, the system is in the head instead of being visible. - Raja-jani, Nov 11, 2014

A los ordenados A los desordenados no les gustan los desordenados los ordenados, y los dos creen que el otro es una persona que necesita ayuda para ser normal.

Organized people don’t like disorganized people, and both think that the other one is a person who needs help to become normal.

Reminds me of my wife's storage closet, every time I help her organize it, it is just more room to put stuff. Of course if I don't help her, she just starts piling stuff outside the door. - bosquederoble, Nov 11, 2014
Mine looks very similar. The car lives outside.. - annierats, Nov 11, 2014

Sometimes he would mutter, "I've got to get rid of some of this clutter." A new thought brought some cheer, "It's gotten so disorganized here - perhaps the cleaning fairy will appear. . . and find it !" : - ) enter image description here A veces él se murmura, 'tengo que deshacerme de algunas de este desorden'. Un nuevo pensamiento trajo algo un ánimo, 'Ahora es tan desorganizado aquí - ¡ tal vez la limpieza hada aparecerá . . . y la halla!' : - ) enter image description here

Creo que las personas bien ordenadas gastan desmasiado tiempo en ordenar sus vidas, sus mentes tan perfectas y en limpiar sus casas. Prefiero tomar una copa de vino. Mañana voy a hacer los quehaceres de casa...quizás..

I think that very well organized people waste too much time in arranging their lives, their perfect minds and cleaning their houses. I prefer to have a glass of wine. I'll do the housework tomorrow..maybe..

Quiz time ..

What is the difference between "unorganized" and "disorganized" .. in spanish they translate to the same word "desorganizado" or "desordenado" ..

Qué es la diferencia entre las palabras "unorganized" and "disorganized" .. se traducen lo mismo en español como "desorganizado" or "desordenado"..

My disorganized brain isn't working at the moment. - rac1, Nov 11, 2014
To me,' disorganised' means messy, untidy etc. I would only use 'unorganised' to distinguish from eg.an organised tour . Disorganised is a negative expression, but unorganised need not be. - jennysk, Nov 12, 2014
Thanks Jenny, but in my country no one uses disorganized .. we only use unorganized .. for example : I am an unorganized person :) - Joydeep_Singh, Nov 12, 2014
