florecer ( floh-reh-sehr' )

verb ( to flower, to bloom; to flourish )

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.

Me gusta mucho cuando veo florecer los amapolas y acianos a pesar de que en realidad ellos son malas hierbas, pero maravillosas.

I like very much when I see the poppies and cornflowers blooming although in fact they are weeds, but wonderful ones.

Cacti have very nice flowers- I actually got one to flower once indoors (this doesn't count christmas cactuses which flower for me all the time- I have some in flower now). - bosquederoble, Dec 1, 2014
Yes bosque, outside they bloom with the first good rain in spring :-)! - Jraider, Dec 1, 2014
Interesting that when speaking of them as a group, I chose cacti, but picked cactuses for the plural of christmas cactuses. http://grammarist.com/usage/cacti-cactuses/ - bosquederoble, Dec 1, 2014
Beautiful indeed :) - Raja-jani, Dec 1, 2014

A business school degree is not a guarantee that you will flourish in your own business.

Un título de escuela de negocios no es una garantía que florecerá en su propio negocio.

Aunque ahora nada florece en mi jardín, y tengo que disfrutar de las únicas flores que puedo cultivar dentro, en enero viajo a Hawái, donde habrá muchas flores bellas, y cuando regrese a casa es posible que algunos bulbos, brezos (Erica) y mi rosas de Navidad ya tengan flores.

Although now nothing is flowering in my garden, and I have to enjory the few flowers that I can grow indoors, in January I am going to Hawaii, where there will be many beautiful flowers, and when I return home it is possible that some bulbs, heather (Erica), and my Christmas roses might already be in flower.

Los germenes florecen en las bocas de los perros (y otros animales) y por eso es necesario que se cepillen por lo menos tres veces a la semana.

Gems thrive in the mouths of our Dogs and therefore it is necessary that they be brushed atleast three times a wk.

But never use a human toothpaste on them..

Pero nunca usa el dentífrico humano en ellos..

La niña pequeña era muy tímida, asi que sus padres encontraron una escuela pequeña y amable para ella, y ella florecía allí.

The little girl was very shy, so her parents found a small, friendly school for her, and she flourished there.
