La Palabra Del Dia: "botella"

Question

botella ( boh-teh'-yah )

noun ( bottle )

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

I would like to buy milk in a glass bottle if I could find some.

Me gustaría comprar la leche en una botella de vidrio si podía encontrar algunas.

What about a dairy farm? - rac1, Dec 31, 2014

Lots of cows but very few glass milk bottles amiga. - ian-hill, Dec 31, 2014

You can still get them here in the States, but they are becoming more rare. - Jubilado, Dec 31, 2014

We get ours in glass bottles every day in Tiverton! - annierats, Dec 31, 2014

you reminded me of old days amigo, nowadays we get them over here in poly packs and tetra packs .. your sentence gave me a nostalgic air .. - Joydeep_Singh, Dec 31, 2014

You** (sorry Ambi :( ) - Joydeep_Singh, Dec 31, 2014

Oh... I like my buttermilk :-)! - Jraider, Dec 31, 2014

Yes, I also prefer natural milk with cream on top. One can have less of it, rather than a litre of semi-skimmed.. - annierats, Dec 31, 2014

Annie, now you are reminding me of my childhood (in the fifties): raw milk with top cream and we'd all try to get the new bottle for our cereal in the morning. - Jubilado, Dec 31, 2014

I remember that the early morning birds had got most of the cream - they pierced the foil tops. - ian-hill, Dec 31, 2014

@Ian, I think I remember hearing about the birds. That may be why we always had cats outside. - Jubilado, Dec 31, 2014

They are also in Spain mate , glorious little blue bottles of agua. - ray76, Jan 2, 2015

Me gustaría aprender el arte de soplar vidrio y hacer unas botellas artesanales muy bonitas, pero creo que habrá de ser algo muy díficil.

I would like to learn the glass-blowers art and make some beautiful hand-made bottles, but I think it must be a very difficult thing to do.

Wow :) - Joydeep_Singh, Dec 31, 2014

Have a great New Year's Eve annie :-)! - Jraider, Dec 31, 2014

My intial thought, too, before reading any of the comments is that he should have been wearing goggles. - Sassette, Dec 31, 2014

In your English sentence, "medicine". You are speaking Spanglish? Lol - rac1, Dec 31, 2014

Answer 8

Nunca entenderé por qué me permiten reciclar algunas botellas en el reciclaje que recogen de la acera, y tengo que llevar otras a la tienda y las pongo ponerlas en una maldita máquina- es una estupidez y un desperdicio de la gasolina necesario necesaria para llevarlas allí y también de mi tiempo.

I will never understand why they allow me to recycle some bottles in the recycling that they pick up from the sidewalk, and I have to take others to the store and put them in a stupid machine- it is totally stupid and a waste of the gasoline needed to take them there and also of my time.

We waste a lot of time avoiding being buried in our waste! ¡Próspero año nuevo! - Jubilado, Dec 31, 2014

I thik it's because you paid a deposit on the bottle when you bought it :-)! - Jraider, Dec 31, 2014

typo "think" :-) - Jraider, Dec 31, 2014

If they did no charge me the deposit, and allowed me to put them with the other glass that they pick up, it would be more efficient. The issue is that I can leave half my glass for curbside pickup and I half to drive the other half to the store and try - bosquederoble, Dec 31, 2014

to cram them in stinky machines while standing in the freezing cold, machines that reject some, and take multiple episodes of retries to work. I have gotten so pissed off sometimes that I have brought the bottles home and thrown them in the regular trash - bosquederoble, Dec 31, 2014

I would never throw the non-deposit glass in the regular trash, because they have a system that works- curbside pickup. I only through for deposit things in the trash. If I were to compute the hourly wage for the time it takes me to drive to the store - bosquederoble, Dec 31, 2014

and fight with the machines I would not take any back. The system is asinine. - bosquederoble, Dec 31, 2014

I agree with you there, amigo. - rac1, Dec 31, 2014

...a la tienda y ponerlas en una..y un desperdicio 'de gasolina necesaria'...' :) - Pablo064, Dec 31, 2014

Gracias por las correcciones, el primer error era tonto. :) - bosquederoble, Jan 1, 2015

Y el tercero. :) - bosquederoble, Jan 1, 2015

I know that you don't make that kind of mistakes Bosque and it is just a distraction :) (btw I am Pablo ;)) - Pablo064, Jan 1, 2015

That was my guess. I did not know that the la did not belong there. Sometimes the articles are the hardest. I was sad when I saw that your profile was delete do- it is great to see you back. - bosquederoble, Jan 1, 2015

Answer 9

A lot of bottles of champagne will be opened tonight.

Indeed there will be. :) - rac1, Dec 31, 2014

Muchas, muchas y muchas:-)! - Jraider, Dec 31, 2014

That why I'm going to get my business done outside today and stay at home tonight. I'll leave the roads to the idiots that will drive with alcohol in their system. - Sassette, Dec 31, 2014

We call it amateur night :-)!!!! - Jraider, Dec 31, 2014

me too ** - Joydeep_Singh, Dec 31, 2014

I know some people who are crazy for alcohol and who get carried away when a bottle is opened. Thank God I am not one of them ..

Hay personas que se vuelven locos por alcohol. ( Creo, although this means they go mad from drinking, rather than with the desire to drink, I have to think some more) - annierats, Dec 31, 2014

Se vuelven locos por el deseo de beber...??? Daniela, please, a nuestra ayuda. - annierats, Dec 31, 2014

Yes Annie but this wont be the exact translation to my english sentence.. - Joydeep_Singh, Dec 31, 2014

Wordreference.com recognizes arrabatarse as a Latin American way of saying "get carried away." - Jubilado, Dec 31, 2014

Sir ,, this a different way ... this a whole phrase dejarse arrebatar por as opposed to just "arrebatarse" - Joydeep_Singh, Dec 31, 2014

It takes all kinds of people. - rac1, Dec 31, 2014

Should it be "esta loco" ?? - Joydeep_Singh, Dec 31, 2014

It would be very exciting to find a message in a bottle on the beach. A bottle can float a long way for a long time before arriving at a beach.

"Sería" muy emocionante-----" would be better here - Daniela2041, Jan 2, 2015

si, gracias. - jennysk, Jan 2, 2015
