La Palabra Del Dia: "llevar"

Question

llevar ( yeh-vahr' )

verb ( to take, to carry; to wear )

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 10

Sickle cell anemia is a condition in which red blood cells become sticky and look like a C-shaped farm tool called a sickle. The sickle cells also get stuck in blood vessels, blocking blood flow.This disease happens when a child inherits two sickle cell genes, one from each parent. People who have inherited one sickle cell gene and one normal gene have sickle cell trait. This means the person won’t have the disease, but will be a trait “carrier” and can pass it on to his or her children.

La anemia falciforme es una condición en la cual los glóbulos rojos se vuelven adherentes y adquieren la forma de una herramienta agrícola denominada hoz. Las células falciformes también se estancan en los vasos sanguíneos, bloqueando el flujo sanguíneo. Esta enfermedad ocurre cuando un niño hereda dos genes de células falciformes, uno de cada padre. Las personas que han heredado un gen alterado y un gen normal tienen lo que se denomida "rasgo falciforme". Esto significa que la persona no desarrollará la enfermedad, sino que será un portador por lo que puede transmitirlo a sus hijos.

And sickle cell trait (not the disease, but having only one gene) helps a person survive malaria. - bosquederoble, Jan 20, 2015

Yes, of course!! Do you know why? :D - luisssito, Jan 20, 2015

To my understanding there are competing theories; the newest may be that sickle hemoglobin induces heme-oxygenase-1 which produces carbon monoxide which protects against cerebral malaria. - bosquederoble, Jan 20, 2015

The older and more generally accepted is that parasitized cells sickle at a high rate, and sickle cells are removed preferentially by phagocytes, leading to a high rate of removal of infected cells. - bosquederoble, Jan 20, 2015

Aha, read this article: http://www.pnas.org/content/106/37/15837.full.pdf - luisssito, Jan 20, 2015

I see you're reading a lot trying to understand this topic. :D - luisssito, Jan 20, 2015

I hope a cure is soon. - rac1, Jan 20, 2015

Seems you favor the new theory. :) - bosquederoble, Jan 20, 2015

Puede ser que soyun poco ciega, pero no veo ninguna forma del verbo "llevar" - Daniela2041, Jan 20, 2015

Lol, Rac, do you really think that? - luisssito, Jan 20, 2015

Common in these parts, thanks to premarital genotype blood tests, partners who both carry the trait now know better. - osas-baby, Jan 20, 2015

No te preocupes Luissito, entendemos que algunas personas llevan la enfermedad en su ADN. - annierats, Jan 20, 2015

Yes, Luis, with people like you in the medical field. :):) - rac1, Jan 20, 2015

Aunque mi esposa me dijo quien va a llevarnos al aeropuerto el sábado hace unos pocos días, sabe que ya no recuerdo quién es, y por eso anoche me dijo que no sabe quién va a llevarnos, simplemente para recordarme de todos los detalles que maneja, en los cuales yo no tengo que pensar.

Although my wife told me who is taking us to the airport Saturday several days ago, she knows that I no longer remember who it is, and so last night she told me she does not know who is going to take us, simply in order to remind me of all the details that she handles, which I don’t have to think about.

Oh my. So it's this Saturday? - Manity, Jan 20, 2015
