For the Spanish sentences, edit your posts according to the native Spanish speaker's suggestions. 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.

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.

Me encantaría tener un amigo con quien podría poder compartir la dicha de aprender español y, últimamente más recientemente, coreano. Mi pobre pareja tiene que escucharme cada vez que me entusiasmo con alguna regla gramatical y realmente no puedo culparle por escucharme a medias.

I would love to have a friend with whom I could share the joy of learning Spanish and, more recently, Korean. My poor partner has to listen to me every time I get excited about some grammatical rule and I really can't blame him for listening with half an ear.

Answer 4

Según el gobierno debemos viajar por transporte público . Desafordunadamente cuesta mas viajar en tren en Inglaterra que volar. Los autobuses son mas baratos pero tardan horas en llegar porque siempre tienen que hacer paradadas en cada pueblo por los que pasan. Resulta que es mas cómodo y más barato viajar en coche, pero al menos podemos compartir coche con los amigos siempre que sea posible.

According to the governement we should travel by public transport. Unfortunatly it costs more to go by train in England than to fly. The buses are cheaper but take hours to get anywhere because they have to stop in all the villages they pass through. The end result is that it is cheaper and more comfortable to go by car, but at least we can car-share amongst friends whenever possible.

Typo: "through".... It cost more to fly? Wow! - rac1, Mar 30, 2015

I mean...than to fly.... - rac1, Mar 30, 2015

In Bolivia I never needed or had a car - Here I can't survive without one. - ian-hill, Mar 30, 2015

There are cities in the USA where it is virtually impossible to find a parking place :-)! - Jraider, Mar 30, 2015

Battered and deep fried, I'd eat shoe leather, but fish is better. :) - jrschenk, Mar 30, 2015

Very good: lo que pesqué. (In peruvian spanish "coger" could be "having sex"...) - crucesignatus, Mar 30, 2015

So.... you are actually saying "that which I have caught" ? - Jraider, Mar 30, 2015

Answer 6

Ayer fuimos a la casa de la mejor amiga de mi esposa para compartir algunos algunas plantas que yo había cultivado- plantas perennes, arbustos, bulbos, rizomas y así- y pasamos la tarde plantándolas. Después ella compartió la cena y algún vino con nosotros antes de que regresáramos a casa.

Yesterday we went to my wife's best friend's house in order to share some plants I had grown- perennials, shrubs, bulbs, rhizomes and such- and spent the afternoon planting them. Afterwards she shared dinner and some wine with us before we returned home.

Was that where you went to taste the wine? - rac1, Mar 30, 2015

No- the wine tasting was with different people on Saturday, at 4 wineries, then dinner out. This is what we did Sunday afternoon and evening. :) - bosquederoble, Mar 30, 2015

...algunas plantas..la cena y vino or 'algo de vino' if you want to translate 'some' :) - Pablo064, Mar 30, 2015

I love the smell of the soil when planting :-)! - Jraider, Mar 30, 2015

Humanos Crueles .. Que lastima,,

Cruel humans .. what a shame..

For food is one thing, but just for the fun of it....N O - rac1, Mar 30, 2015

Killing for food is not a good thing either ... humans have the option of being vegis .. like me .. hehe - Joydeep_Singh, Mar 30, 2015

omg be careful con 'pájaro' google 'pajero' and look at the images if you want to know what it means :) - Pablo064, Mar 30, 2015

The key word is "some" humans jimmy :-)! - Jraider, Mar 30, 2015

To play devil's advocate, I'm not sure I want to return to the days when animals were eating us. - jrschenk, Mar 30, 2015

If they were eating us, they were just following their natural instincts ... humans have been given a gift ,, sense of volition (free will) .. animals dont have that - Joydeep_Singh, Mar 30, 2015

I choose to vote for your entry, though I disagree. - jrschenk, Mar 30, 2015

I cannot stand the sport of hunting, but killing for food, as is necessry in some places, is understandable. - Daniela2041, Mar 30, 2015

Well said, especially the part about volition, I agree! - Manity, Mar 30, 2015

it is "pájaro", not "paj..." (this word mean in peruvian spanish: masturbater...) - crucesignatus, Mar 30, 2015

Yesterday I had to share the computer with my older brother and today it is not working right.

Ayer tuve que compartir la computadora con mi hermano mayor y hoy está funcionando mal.

Answer 12

Tengo dos niños que tienen quatro y dos. Cuando mi hija nacío mi hijo ya tenía dos años, y mi esposa y yo decidimos que sería importante que deberían aprender compartir. Por lo que respecta nuestro hijo, todo es bien, y entiende la palabra. Sin embargo con nuestra hija, ahora cree que 'comparte' quiere decir 'dame. Cuando su hermano tiene un juguete que ella quiere, le grita a él '! comparte, comparte, comparte !' Desafortunadamente mi hija todavía tiene que aprender lo que la palabra quiere decir de verdad.

I have two kids at four and two. When my daughter was born my son was already two, and my wife and I decided it would be important that they learn to share. Insofar as our son is concerned, all is well and good, and he understands the word. However, with our daughter, now she thinks 'share' means 'give me'. When her brother has a toy that she wants, she yells at him, 'Share, share, share !' Unfortunately my daughter has yet to grasp the true meaning of the word.

I wonder if all children go through such a period. It's obvious that some people never grow up in this respect (eh!) but maybe there are people who are born knowing how to share. - Manity, Mar 30, 2015

She will learn...but I love hearing these stories about them and the funny things they say and do. - rac1, Mar 30, 2015

I think you may have to say ' años' because I read it as menaing you had two children, who in turn had two and four children, i.e. your grandchildren. - annierats, Mar 30, 2015

Thanks, Annie... That sounds like a nightmare ;-) - Faldaesque, Mar 30, 2015

As in adults, children have their difficult moments :-)! - Jraider, Mar 30, 2015

I think your story is hilarious. :)))) - ian-hill, Mar 30, 2015

...cuatro..aprender a compartir...respecta a nuestro...todo está bien...le grita ¡comparte (no a èl)..' :) - Pablo064, Mar 30, 2015

Falda, I would uite like a grand-child, it sems it is easy to hand them back when they get tiresome, good plan. - annierats, Mar 30, 2015

yes, the corrections of Tiempo it is right - crucesignatus, Mar 30, 2015

Answer 13

Cada vez que viajo con amigos, yo no comparto mi cuarto del hotel con nadie. Lo prefiero así. Sabes que la gente tiene rutinas diferentes de cuándo dormir, cuàndo despertar, etcétera.

Whenever I travel with friends, I don’t share my hotel room with anybody. I prefer it that way. You know that people have different routines of when to sleep, when to wake up, etc.

Yes, and your privacy is important. - rac1, Mar 30, 2015

I remember that was one of the less pleasant aspects of school trips, choosing was out of the question. - Manity, Mar 30, 2015

Compartir su cama con otros puede llevar a relación de relaciones a largo plazo.

Sharing your bed with others can actually lead to long-term relationships.

Lol, jschenk, it is very true. - annierats, Mar 30, 2015
