La Palabra Del Dia: "amistoso"

Question

amistoso ( ah-mee-stoh'-soh )

adjective ( friendly )

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.

Answer 1

Qué bueno que haya un sitio para practicar español con personas tan amistosas y amables.

How great is it that there is a site for practicing Spanish with such friendly and kind people.

You've come up with a winner here! - annierats, Nov 20, 2014

I donb't think you need the subjunctive, this is a fact! - annierats, Nov 20, 2014

My understanding is use of subjunctive puts focus on the Qué bueno- how I feel about the site, absence of subjunctive puts focus on the site and the fact of its existence. But I could be wrong. - bosquederoble, Nov 20, 2014

Any way you say it you're right :-)!!!! - Jraider, Nov 20, 2014

I'm so glad you are all here. :)♥ - rac1, Nov 20, 2014

Bosque said what I was going to say,---but differently! - Daniela2041, Nov 21, 2014

Answer 5

Mi vecinos son tan amistosos que me dan detalles de comida española que mi vecina ha preparado en una pequeña olla, me traen leño para la chimenea y me ayudan con todo. Que lástima que hablan un español tan andaluz que no entendemos muy bien..

My neighbours are so friendly that they give me little gifts of Spanish food that the neighbour has cooked in a tiny saucepan, they bring me firewood for my wood-burner and help me with everything.It is a pity that they speak such a very Andalusian Spanish that we don't understand each other very well.

I know that must be frustrating. - rac1, Nov 20, 2014

Is it more like latin???? - Jraider, Nov 20, 2014

The ardour and the favour of that neighbour is their saviour - British spelling how colourful! In the States "U" is not there! - Jubilado, Nov 20, 2014

It is very blurred, fast, rusn together, loses the letter 's' and many endings! Actually, I now find it much easier to understand people who speak the king's Castellano, so I guess the neighbours are helping. Luckily they understand me, on the whole anr - annierats, Nov 21, 2014

Answer 6

Generalmente soy muy amistosa y cariñosa, pero si alguién se atreve a hacerle daño a uno de mis amigos/as. ¡Ten cuidado! ¡Te vas a encontrar con una enemiga feroz!

¡Muy enemistosa! (Danielismo for you know what!)

Generally, I am very friendly and affectionate but If someone dares to do harm to one of my friends! Beware! You're going to find your self with a ferocious enemy!

דָּנִיֵּ֖אל - ¿Cómo esto? - Jubilado, Nov 21, 2014

That's it. --The boy's name, that is. The French version is "Danielle" which sounds just like "Daniel" in Spanish and Hebrew. My ability to read Hebrew isn't all that good, but I'm learning poco a poco. - Daniela2041, Nov 21, 2014

I believe that competition cannot be friendly. People only act friendly for other reasons.

You don't believe in friendly competition? - rac1, Nov 20, 2014

When watching a "friendly" sport, we don't think about all the rules that are in place to keep it "friendly." Remove all those rules, then you will see what happens :) - Raja-jani, Nov 20, 2014
