La Palabra Del Dia: "siempre"

Question

siempre ( syehm'-preh )

adverb ( always, forever )

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.

@Hca Student: According to the zodiac signs. When I commented I assumed that was your sign as well as mine, but it's not so my comment is moot. - Jubilado, Jan 7, 2015

Oh, sorry about that. I don't pay attention to zodiac signs, so that kind of slipped by me :) - 00ffada9, Jan 7, 2015

You are absolutely right Jr .. it is humans we should be scared of more than wolves .. jeje - Joydeep_Singh, Jan 7, 2015

Answer 9

En un sistema cerrado la entropía nunca disminuye; esto es lo que proporciona una dirección al tiempo-el tiempro siempre fluye en la dirección dirección de entropía más alta- una realidad que no es explicado explicada por la teoría de la mecánica cuántica, la cual no da una preferencia por una dirección u otra en los procesos que describe.

In a closed system, entropy never diminishes, this is what provides a direction to time- time always flows in the direction of higher entropy- a reality that is not explained by the theory of quantum mechanics, which does not provide a preference for one direction or another in the processes it describes.

Me vuelvo loca tratando de entender esto. ¡Ay! - Daniela2041, Jan 7, 2015

If you say so. I don't think you'd lie. - Jubilado, Jan 7, 2015

Entropy is the only theory that calls for a directionality to time. Time clearly has a direction, at least as we experience it, so my true underlying point is that despite all the talk from the physicists about how good their theories are, they still - bosquederoble, Jan 7, 2015

do not understand key concepts. Like time. - bosquederoble, Jan 7, 2015

@Jubilado: Es una broma, lo entiendo perfectamente. Me encanta el estudio de la mecáica cuántica. - Daniela2041, Jan 7, 2015

The current descriptions of time, between entropy, quantum, and relativity reminds me of the picture of three blind men describing an elephant- one has hold of the trunk, one a leg, and one the tail. And time is definitely the elephant. - bosquederoble, Jan 7, 2015

According to the theory of relativity time is relativistic and has a different rate of flow at different places in the universe .. as many factors like gravity and speed can slow down the passage of time .. for example the time on earth moves slower than - Joydeep_Singh, Jan 7, 2015

that on moon ... and similarly the higher a body's speed, the slower the passage of time relative to other objects moving at a lower speed ,, at the speed of light "c" the time comes to a stand still and moving faster than the speed of light the passage o - Joydeep_Singh, Jan 7, 2015

of time reverses and starts moving towards the past but the problem is that no object carrying some mass can travel at the speed of light let alone travelling faster as speed of light is the cosmic speed barrier according to the general theory of - Joydeep_Singh, Jan 7, 2015

Yes, the quantum description of time and space and that of relativity are different, and to my knowledge no one has figured out how to reconcile them . - bosquederoble, Jan 7, 2015

relativity ... and time actually flows in a different dimension which many call as the fourth dimension which sequences an infinite number of micro units of time and each unit comprisinng of one micro instance of the three dimensional reality ,, called th - Joydeep_Singh, Jan 7, 2015

the plank time scale .. the smallest unit of time ... (like we have the plank length, the smallest unit of matter according to quantum mechanics) - Joydeep_Singh, Jan 7, 2015

well for reconciliation scientists are now working on the string theory which says that there are infinite number of parallel universes and that time furcates ' - Joydeep_Singh, Jan 7, 2015

it is a very complicated subject .. jeje - Joydeep_Singh, Jan 7, 2015

Wow, Jimmy, you surprise me! :) - Daniela2041, Jan 7, 2015

I'm fascinated with anything and everything like this, Bosque. Great post! - rac1, Jan 7, 2015

'fluye en la dirección...que no es explicada...' your previous post (yesterday) was well:) - Pablo064, Jan 8, 2015

HCAstudent could use this in "picture of the day" - Daniela2041, Jan 7, 2015

Or if you're Justin Beiber. lol - rac1, Jan 7, 2015

Answer 11

Jesús les prometió a sus seguidores que él siempre estará con ellos hasta el fin del tiempo. (Mateo 28:20)

Jesus promised his followers that He will be with them always until the end of time. (Matthew 28:20)

Yep. but you know. jeje - rac1, Jan 7, 2015

Or as the politicians say "I was not aware." :-)! - Jraider, Jan 7, 2015

Well said, Jr :) - Raja-jani, Jan 7, 2015

Answer 13

Siempre miro cuando yo escucho el chillido de ruedas pero nunca acontece nada.

I always look when I hear the screeching of tires but nothing ever happens.

The pic isn't exactly related but I couldn't find anything exactly relevant.

Do you mean, "tires" :) - rac1, Jan 7, 2015

Right, thanks! Corrected... - Capn_Spanish, Jan 7, 2015

In Colombia "llantas" = tires. In some parts of the UK "tyres" = tires, correct? - Jubilado, Jan 7, 2015

Jeje! I think that guy's tie is a screecher ;-)!!!! - Jraider, Jan 7, 2015

I almost used "llantas" but I thought that "ruedas" might be more universally understood... At least on WordReference, it appears to be a valid word for "tire." - Capn_Spanish, Jan 7, 2015

"ruedas" is the generic word for "wheels" as in silla de "ruedas" "wheelchair" "Llantas" in Mexico and "pneumáticos" in - Daniela2041, Jan 7, 2015

Spain are the preferred words for "tires". - Daniela2041, Jan 7, 2015

Answer 14

El jefe de policía ordenó sus oficiales para reunir a los sospechosos de siempre.

You got my vote, Ann! - Daniela2041, Jan 7, 2015

Gracias, y voté por ti. - AnnRon, Jan 7, 2015

They look like suspects. jeje - rac1, Jan 7, 2015

You are right, Luis. :)♥ - rac1, Jan 7, 2015

Wow, Luis! You refreshed some of my German! But you only have to write English and Spanish here. Isn't that easier? - Raja-jani, Jan 7, 2015

I have no knowledge of Russian, but would like to learn :) - Raja-jani, Jan 7, 2015
