lleno ( yeh'-noh )

adjective ( full )

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. Devolvimos el carro de alquiler con el tanque de gasolina lleno.

We returned the rental car with a full tank of gas.

2. Se dice que en este pueblo hay un hombre que se convierte en lobo por la luz de la luna llena.

They say that there is a man in this village who turns into a wolf by the light of the full moon.

Me encontré lleno del deseo de entender más del pasado de mi tradición para que viviera motivado por los mismos valores que dio sentido a las vidas de mis antepasados.

I found myself full of desire (longing) to understand more about my tradition’s past so that I might live motivated by the same values that gave meaning to my ancestors’ lives.

Sometimes I just think of something to write using the word of the day. It may or may not be a personal revelation. - Jubilado, Jan 14, 2015
Reviewed conjugation of vivir and you're right on the money with viviera. Subjunctive and in the past because of encontré. Nice picture of yourself too. - Sassette, Jan 14, 2015
@TipoGuy, thanks for the affirmation. I realized when I wrote this sentence that I was also using the W o t D for yesterday. And "para que" always takes the subjunctive. - Jubilado, Jan 15, 2015

Panza is a new word for me .. thanks for using .. but how does it differ from barriga or vientre.. - Joydeep_Singh, Jan 14, 2015
May be Dani could shed some light on it ..Dani, are you there ??? - Joydeep_Singh, Jan 14, 2015
I think it may be slang, but it is widely used in New Mexico :-)! - Jraider, Jan 14, 2015
Hmm, but it ain't listed in the dictionary as a slang so may be it is a synonym to la barriga.. but what do I know .. So our carrate girl is needed here to resolve the mystery behind it .. hehe - Joydeep_Singh, Jan 14, 2015
An old saying is..Panza llena corazón contenta. :-)! - Jraider, Jan 14, 2015
Very nice ... but in my case ... Panza vacia y corazon roto .. jeje - Joydeep_Singh, Jan 14, 2015
:) - Raja-jani, Jan 14, 2015
Is this your cat, JR? - rac1, Jan 14, 2015
Panza is quite common. Remember Sancho Panza from Don Quijote? - Daniela2041, Jan 14, 2015
@Jraider Corazón is masculine therefore "corazón contento" - Daniela2041, Jan 14, 2015
Something else, "un panzón" is what you call a fat guy. In Panamá I heard "pipón" for belly. - Daniela2041, Jan 14, 2015
Muchas gracias Daniela :-)! - Jraider, Jan 15, 2015

¿Cuál es más importante- la cuestión de si el vaso está medio vacío o medio lleno, o la de lo que está dentro del vaso? Por supuesto, si el vaso no está en un el vacío, siempre está completamente lleno de algo. A mí me gusta más cuando está lleno de cerveza y no sólo de aire.

What is more important- the question of whether the glass if half empty or half full, or that of what is inside the glass? Of course, if the glass is not in a vacuum, it is always completely full of something. For my part, I like it more when it is full of beer and not just of air.

But you're the one who made it full of air so aren't you happy in retrospect? - Jubilado, Jan 14, 2015
So, it just depends on what is in the glass......... - rac1, Jan 14, 2015
well done. I'm much better reading Spanish than writing it and I was able to understand your sentences very welll and quickly too! - Sassette, Jan 14, 2015
si el vaso no está en 'el' vacío.. I had no idea that 'a vacuum' is 'el vacio' but you use indefinite article and we use definite article, so weird :) - Pablo064, Jan 15, 2015
Gracias, Tiempo. It is a bit weird to me too. :) - bosquederoble, Jan 15, 2015

Bueno, mi casa está llena de cosas, me sobran los muebles y las cosas viejas que todavía no son antiquedades . Estoy harta con la tarea de deshecharme de todas estas cosas, pero no hay opción porque todo no cabe en una camioneta y como vamos a mudarnos hay que vender lo que se puede vender y tirar el resto a basuras.

Well, my house is full of thing . I have a surplus of furniture and old things that are not yet antiques. I'm fed up with the task of getting rid of all these things but there is no alternative because there is no room for it all in a van , and as we are going to move I have to sell whatever is saleable and take the rest away to the rubbish tip.

Joydeep, In my English "ran away from the circus" means she was part of it and left. If she was not part of it, I would use "fled" or "ran out of". Just an opinion on usage not a correction - Jubilado, Jan 14, 2015

Here in Puerto Rico "como el diantre" can mean lots of things. It will all depend on the context. But that is also a good meaning Tipo :). But I agree with you ... Five Guys is one of the best tasting burgers out there and my stomach is a good judge. - SalvadorRSPR, Jan 15, 2015
