belleza ( beh-yeh'-sah ) enter image description here

noun ( beauty )

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.

Examples:

1. Te amo no sólo por tu belleza, sino también por tu inteligencia y amabilidad.

I love you not only for your beauty, but also for your intelligence and kindness.

2. La belleza natural de Islandia casi no se puede describir.

The natural beauty of Iceland almost can't be described.

The beauty and the beast

My friend Ambi is the apotheosis and epitome of Beauty and I am sure all of you will agree with me and I on the other hand look like a monster .. hahahahaha .. but what I like about her is her inner beauty and her modesty.... I don't drink but I still raise a toast (with a coke can) to my friend Ambi..

La Bella y El bestia

Mi Amiga Ambi es la apoteosis y el vivo ejemplo de belleza y estoy seguro de que acorderéis conmigo sobre esto pero lo que me gusta más sobre ella es su belleza de alma y su modestia .. No bebo pero aun asi hago un brindis por ella (con una lata de coca cola)//..

El gran bailarín ruso Vladímir Vasíliev es una leyenda viva del ballet. Su danza refleja perfectamente la belleza del cuerpo humano en un movimiento, por eso a menudo se le llama "el Dios de la danza". Parece que él es una persona cuya belleza interior se manifiesta a través de su danza.


The great Russian dancer Vladimir Vasiliev is a living legend of ballet. His dance reflected perfectly the beauty of human body in a movement that is why he is often called “the God of dance”. It seems he is a person whose inner beauty manifests itself through his dance.

The beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Para mí, Joana es una belleza de mujer. Ella es delgada como un lápiz.

Well .. Ambi asks .. "Who is Joana ? "" .. hmm good question Ambi,, let me think .. - Joydeep_Singh, Dec 22, 2014
Joana is someone I saw while travelling. Nothing serious :) - Raja-jani, Dec 22, 2014

You're right, Jr. I have started doing things like Spanish :) - Raja-jani, Dec 22, 2014

Yo creo que la belleza verdadera existe en el fondo y se hace evidente en la apariencia totalmente.

I believe that real beauty exists deep down and becomes clear in the appearance completely.

Per your request, Jimmy: No me gustan "las" que usan mucho maquillaje--"(unless you know some guys that use it.) "llevan ropa ostentosa" "oropel" is "tinsel" - Daniela2041, Dec 22, 2014
Also, watch out for English homonyms. "where" means "dónde" "wear" means "llevar" or "usar" - Daniela2041, Dec 22, 2014
I know the difference between where and wear,, just a silly mistake on my part .. thanks for the help with the Spanish sentence .. regards, Jimmy - Joydeep_Singh, Dec 23, 2014

Algunas personas encuentran belleza en las matemáticas, otras las usan sólo como una herramienta, y otras las evitan completamente. Mi sobrino, quien tiene dieciséis años, disfruta mucha de la belleza, y por eso ya no asiste a la escuela secundaria, sino a una universidad para estudiar las matemáticas.

Some people find beauty in mathematics, others use it only as a tool, and other avoid it completely. My nephew, who is sixteen, enjoys the beauty, and so he no longer attends high school, but instead a university to study math.
