La Palabra Del Dia: "envuelto"

Question

.

envuelto ( ehn-vwehl'-toh )

adjective ( wrapped )

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.

Answer 1

Ella envuelto Santa Claus alrededor de su dedo meñique.

Santa Claus era envuelto para ella alrededor del dedo meñique. Gracias a Jubildao.

She wrapped Santa Claus around her little finger.

or maybe

She had Santa Claus wrapped around her little finger.

Tenía Santa Claus envuelto alrededor de su meñique.

Haha...I like that one. :) - rac1, Dec 24, 2014

Ella envolvió Santa Claus or ella habia envuelto .. - Joydeep_Singh, Dec 24, 2014

Parece que falta el verbo ! Para esa oración quedaría bien el verbo "tener" conjugado. - Vorterix, Dec 24, 2014

My suggestion: Santa Claus era envuelto para ella alrededor del dedo meñique. - Jubilado, Dec 24, 2014

My granddaughter wraps me around her little finger :-)! - Jraider, Dec 24, 2014

Vortex tiene razon ... envuelto es un participio y no se puede usar sin auxiliar o cualquier otro verbo en mayoria de casos ... - Joydeep_Singh, Dec 24, 2014

and also,, I think menique in itself means the pinki finger and dedo ain't needed .. - Joydeep_Singh, Dec 24, 2014

Un problema, the English modismo "wrap around someones's finger doesn't fly in Spanish. You need to say somithing like, "Ella lo tiene completamente domado" or something along that line. Sorry,guys. - Daniela2041, Dec 24, 2014

You are correct amigo. :) - ian-hill, Dec 24, 2014

Yes Dani,, it was seeming rather confusing until you came .. thanks amiga - Joydeep_Singh, Dec 24, 2014

I needed to use wrapped / envuelto - so I retire defeated. :) - ian-hill, Dec 24, 2014

I really don't know this modismo .. but using my donkey head ,, i think we can replace domado with envuelto (in Dani's example) atleast for the sake of your sentence ,,, may not seem as correct as what she suggested but i think it will still make some - Joydeep_Singh, Dec 24, 2014

sense ,, haha - Joydeep_Singh, Dec 24, 2014

Answer 3

Mariselis se encontraba completamete envuelta en el aroma dulce del amor de su novio,Julio.

Mariselis found herself completely wrapped up in the sweet aroma of the love of her sweetheart, Julio.

("wrapped up" really doesn't get the meaning of "envuelta" but it's my best effort. Ray is so good with words, maybe he can help.)

engrossed .. - Joydeep_Singh, Dec 24, 2014

wrapped up also seems OK to me.. - Joydeep_Singh, Dec 24, 2014

Dani, I think you're looking for 'engulfed' :) - Raja-jani, Dec 24, 2014

Thanks, guys, I know of these words, but I just couldn't think of them. Thanks again. - Daniela2041, Dec 24, 2014

Any time amiga - Joydeep_Singh, Dec 24, 2014

Engrossed, engulfed, absorbed, consumed...captivated. Any of those would work. :)♥ - rac1, Dec 24, 2014

Thanks, Amber. - Daniela2041, Dec 24, 2014

De nada, Dani. Merry Christmas, amiga. :)♥ - rac1, Dec 24, 2014

Bendiciones de la natividad de nuestro Señor Jesucristo contigo, amiga. - Jubilado, Dec 25, 2014

Answer 4

Que vosotros seáis envueltos con un amor más grande que podéis entender.

May you all be enfolded in a love that is greater than you can understand.

And to you, amigo. ♥ - rac1, Dec 24, 2014

Thanks Sir, you too :) - Joydeep_Singh, Dec 24, 2014

"May you all be ...." express desire, is not an objective fact, so subjunctive should be used instead of indicative mode. - Vorterix, Dec 24, 2014

@Vorterix: I don't know who you are but you seem to know what you're talking about. I rarely use the "Vosotros" form so I messed up on the verb form. Thanks for the note! - Jubilado, Dec 24, 2014

Gracias jubi :-)! - Jraider, Dec 24, 2014

Jubilado Sir .. Vortex is correct ,,, think of it as (espero) que seais envueltos (where the part before que is hidden and implicit,, this is a common construction in spanish).. - Joydeep_Singh, Dec 24, 2014

"vosotros" is mainly used in Spain, but in many other countries where people speak Spanish it’s not used, I don't use it either and I'm a native Spanish speaker. - Vorterix, Dec 24, 2014

We both hug each other inside the quilt so we both could stay warm - Joydeep_Singh, Dec 24, 2014

That's a lot different than that hot weather you've been having, eh Jimmy? - rac1, Dec 24, 2014

Yes dear ,,, but this is killing too .. - Joydeep_Singh, Dec 24, 2014

Answer 7

No soy un Cristiano pero aun asi estoy envuelto con ganas de fiesta navideña.. creo que si todos empezaran a creer asi, sería paz en el mundo, a lo mejor ..

I am not a Christian but even then, I am engulfed in festive mood for X-mas.. I think if all of us started thinking like that, there shall be peace in the world ...

By the way the "X" in X-mas is not the English letter X but the Greek letter chi (ch) which in greek is the first letter of the name Christ . - Jubilado, Dec 24, 2014

Thanks Sir, I didn't know that .. - Joydeep_Singh, Dec 24, 2014

It stands for "Christos" or "Xristos" que se pronuncia como "Jristos" - Daniela2041, Dec 24, 2014

Thanks Dani :) - Joydeep_Singh, Dec 24, 2014

My wife still has not wrapped all the gifts, and due to the other things that we have to do today, I am not sure that she will have wrapped them all before we begin to unwrap them, but those from me for her have been wrapped for days, and this morning I put them under the tree, and now I am about to vacuum the den.
