semanal ( seh-mah-nahl' )

adjective ( weekly )

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.

True quote. :) - rac1, Dec 2, 2014
I agree with this quote:::: - Jraider, Dec 2, 2014
A lot of liberals hate this guy. They've called him every foul name in the book, but that still doesn't change the fact that he's right! - 00ffada9, Dec 2, 2014
the politicians are there because we vote for them, and surely we want them to make decisions? - jennysk, Dec 3, 2014
Some decisions, yes. But do you want the government telling you how to run your business, how you should live your life, and what items you should be forced to buy? That's when it gets way out of hand :) - 00ffada9, Dec 3, 2014

There’s no weekly game in this forum. I propose ‘The Sentence of the Week.’

No hay juego semanal en este foro. Propongo 'La Frase de la Semana'.

Not a bad idea actually... let me get back to you on that :) - 00ffada9, Dec 2, 2014
Buena idea :-)! - Jraider, Dec 2, 2014
Hey, I just made a sentence. But if someone wants to take this idea and run, I don't mind :) - Raja-jani, Dec 2, 2014
Food for thought! - rac1, Dec 2, 2014
Hey Rajaji, Rac told me that she thinks Sir Ian is going to work on this idea. Great suggestion! - 00ffada9, Dec 2, 2014
Actually there is. Mine are not followed very well but the Subjunctive by Tosh and Cordobesa has got a good following. - bandit51jd, Dec 2, 2014
Other folks and I will play only if we like the game. By the way I do have some ideas :) - Raja-jani, Dec 3, 2014

Al contrario de la mayoría de las revistas a las que nos subscribimos, mi revista de ciencias es semanal y contiene mucho información de la que disfruto, pero es más cara que el resto, las cuales son para mi esposa.

Unlike the majority of the magazines that we subscribe to, my science magazine is weekly and contains a lot of information that I enjoy, but it is more expensive than the rest, which are for my wife.

Voy a una lección de español semanal. Deseo que las lecciones sean más frecuente, entonces tal vez aprendería más rápido.

I go to a weekly Spanish lesson. I wish that the lessons were more frequent, then perhaps I would learn faster.
