mojado ( moh-hah'-doh )

adjective ( wet )

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.

Here they use a slang word that sounds like "mo hao",but I can't find reference to it :-)! - Jraider, Nov 14, 2014
Jraider, it's very possible that they are saying "mojado." If you took the "d" out of "mojado," it would sound exactly like what you are describing. - tuamiga1973, Nov 14, 2014
Makes sense tuamiga ;-)! - Jraider, Nov 14, 2014
Sometines the "d" gets so suppressed in some regions they'll even write it "mojao" - Daniela2041, Nov 15, 2014
Interesting Daniela;now a lot of the slang that I hear makes more sense :-)! - Jraider, Nov 15, 2014

Las carreteras están resbaladizas cuando están mojadas. Es mejor conducir más despacio.

The roads are slippery when wet. It's better to drive slower.

Mi madre solía me decir que salir afuera con el pelo mojado en el tiempo frio resulta en un resfriado.

My mother used to tell me that to go outside with wet hair in cold weather will cause you to catch a cold.

En inglés hay muchas palabras para decir ' mojado', empezamos algo humedos , y seguimos totalmente mojados hasta los huesos, pero no sudamos nunca la gota gorda.

In English we have many ways of saying ' wet' ranging from slightly damp , through rather wet to totally soaked to the bones and dripping. But we never say we sweat fat drops of sweat, we may at the most perspire slightly or just blush in a ladylike manner.

La última vez que fui a camping con mi familia, fuimos a un río en la parte norteña de Idaho, y aunque estábamos a 40 grados centígrados, una cierta parte (o quizás dos partes) de mi cuerpo no estaba dispuesta a estar mojada con agua tan fría, y por eso tuve que decir a mis sobrinos (quienes parecían bien adaptados a agua fría), que no sabía nadar. Esto hizo que mi hermana se riera, porque ella había viajado a Hawái conmigo, y había visto que yo solía desaparecer en el océano durante horas, y reaparecía a veces en un parte de la isla a unos pocos kilómetros de distancia.

The last time that I went camping with my family, we went to a river in the northern part of Idaho, and even though we were at 104 degrees Fahrenheit, a certain part (or perhaps two parts) of my body was not willing to be wet with water that cold, and so I had to tell my nephews and nieces (who seemed to be well adapted to cold water), that I couldn't swim. This made my sister laugh, because she had been to Hawaii with me, and had seen that I would often disappear into the ocean for hours, and reappear sometimes in a part of the island a few miles away.

From the tattoos and the cigarette, this is clearly not me:

With grados I think you don't need to add centigrados, but I'm not sure of this, the stream looks freezing rocky and totally uninviting to me too. - annierats, Nov 14, 2014
You are probably right, I just normally use Fahrenheit, 40 sounds awfully cold to me, not the incredibly hot it does to you. ;) - bosquederoble, Nov 14, 2014
I'm glad to hear you're not tatooed and a smoker (if that is what you were saying)! I'm showing my prejudice of earlier times, but that's the way I feel. - Jubilado, Nov 14, 2014
I would never smoke, nor have a tattoo. Nor be pierced. And there are probably other things that I am not thinking of. - bosquederoble, Nov 14, 2014
@Bosque, Jubilado : I too hate these things .. especially tattoo and piercing .. I won't get myself tatooed even if someone gives me a million dollars for it :) - Joydeep_Singh, Nov 15, 2014
