fuego ( fweh'-goh )

noun ( fire )

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.

Hace unos años vivíamos en el campo cerca de Montellano , y un día mi marido encendió un fuego para quemar basuras. Una chispa saltó del fuego y en muy poco tiempo tuvimos un incendio y tuve que llamar a los bomberos que llegaron en helicópteros.

A few years ago we lived in the countryside outside Montellano and one day, my husband lit a fire, to burn some rubbish. A spark jumped out of the fire and in no time we had a full blown wildfire and I had to call the fire-brigade, who arrived by helicopter.

En el verano aqui, todos se preocupan cerca el peligro de fuegos en el bosque. Cuando haya mucho calor y sec con viento fuerte, fuegos enormes puedan comenzar. Hace poco años un fuego terrible mató a muchas personas en casas y fincas cerca del bosque.

In the summer here, everyone worries about the danger of forest fires. When it is very hot and dry with a strong wind, enormous fires can start. A few years ago a terrible fire killed a lot of people in houses and farms near the forest.
