La Palabra Del Dia: "grito"

Question

grito ( gree'-toh )

noun ( cry, shout, scream, yell )

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 5

Como nuestros hijos son adultos, no ha habido gritos diciéndome "ven aquí para que podamos abrir los regalos"- en vez de esto una hija todavía está envolviendo regalos, nuestro hijo todavía no ha llegado- y mi esposa está preparando el desayuno. Cuando los hijos eran más jóvenes nunca solíamos desayunar hasta que se desenvolvieron por lo menos algunos de los regalos.

Because our children are adults, there have been no shouts telling me "come here so that we can open the presents"- instead of this one daughter is still wrapping presents, and our son still has not arrived, and my wife is making breakfast. When the children were younger, we never used to have breakfast until at least some of the presents were opened.

Yummy breakfast! Merry Christmas! ♥ - rac1, Dec 25, 2014
