La Palabra Del Dia: "gordo"
gordo ( gohr'-doh )
adjective ( fat, overweight )
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.

Es más probable que un perro gordo tenga un dueño gordo, pero no hay ninguna relación entre el peso de un gato y de su dueño. Parece que es debido a la cantidad de tiempo que personas gordas y que personas delgadas pasean al perro cada día, como promedio.
It is more likely that a fat dog will have a fat owner, but there is no relationship between the weight of a cat and its owner. It seems that it is due to the amount of time that fat people and thin people walk their dog every day, on average.
Correction for length of ownership, gender and age of the animal, and gender, age, education level and activity score of the owner did not materially affect this relationship. However, after correction for the amount of time the dog was being walked each day, this relationship disappeared. No significant relationship was found between the degree of overweight of cats and the BMI of their owners.
