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. 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. 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.

Please encourage everyone with a vote.

Gracias tiempo, but I thought that days of the week should be capitalized in Spanish....no???? - Jraider, Apr 13, 2015

No, they are not capitalized in Spanish. :) - rac1, Apr 13, 2015

remember it's all about what you can do for our country, not what our country can do for you, crazy cat patriot. So the more taxes you pay, the better. Do you hate me yet? :) - Sassette, Apr 13, 2015

Remember this: Taxation is the price we pay for Civilisation! Try living somewhere where there isn't any! - jennysk, Apr 14, 2015

You have a point, Jenny. :) - rac1, Apr 14, 2015

Answer 3

A veces recibimos más de lo que enviamos y otras veces menos; pero es más chévere cuando existe reciprocidad entre las personas.

Sometimes we receive more than we send and other times less, but it's more cool when there's reciprocity between people.

Now there is a word I haven't used in awhile. "reciprocity." :) - rac1, Apr 13, 2015

It's a word I learned in classes of Anthropology and Archaeology. :) - crucesignatus, Apr 13, 2015

Answer 5

No quiero que las empresas envíen paquetes al con/vía drones como Amazon desea que suceder suceda porque nuestros cielos fueron estaría llenado con esos lleno de esas cosas feos feas.

I do not want companies to send packages via drone like Amazon wants to see happen because our skies would be filled with those ugly things.

..paquetes con/via drones...desea que suceda porque...nuestro cielo estaría lleno de esas cosas feas or de esos cosos feos... - Pablo064, Apr 13, 2015

I love drones :D - Pablo064, Apr 13, 2015

@ tiempo_de_es Thanks. I assume there is an accent over the "i" in via so I added that above. No need to comment if I'm right on that. - Sassette, Apr 13, 2015

Package delivery drones, or spies watching our every move drones, that's what worries me. - jim5489, Apr 13, 2015

Tipa .... you could use a drone to send me your money :-))!!! - Jraider, Apr 13, 2015

Target practice : ) - Ranman, Apr 13, 2015

Nice Missy. ♥ - rac1, Apr 13, 2015

I love this! Your posts are getting better and better. - Daniela2041, Apr 13, 2015

Answer 8

Este fin de semana, además de buscar lugares para el banquete de su boda, mi hija pasó unas horas diseñando las invitaciones para su fiesta de compromiso, las cuales tienen que enviarse pronto porque parece que sucederá el mes que viene; también parece que ocurrirá en mi casa y que voy a prepara la comida, aunque nadie me ha pedido el uso de mi casa ni mis servicios como cocinero.

This weekend, in addition to looking for places for her wedding reception, my daughter spent a few hours designing the invitations for her engagement party, which have to be sent soon because it seems that it will happen next month; it also seems that it will occur in my house and that I am going to make the food, even though no one has requested the use of my house or my services as a cook.

...no veo errores Bosque... :) - Pablo064, Apr 13, 2015

at least you will save some money that way :-)! - Jraider, Apr 13, 2015

Jejeje you are her father, it's assumed. - rac1, Apr 13, 2015

Gracias, Tiempo. Yes it appears that it is assumed. And yes it will be way cheaper than the venue and catering for the wedding reception. :) - bosquederoble, Apr 13, 2015

Answer 9

No creo que me hayan enviado el paquete que quiero. Es improbable que vayan a enviármelo ahora.

I don't think they sent me the parcel I want. It's unlikely they will send it now.

Practising subjunctive. Also, I wonder if there should be a 'ya' somewhere not 'ahora' - jennysk, Apr 14, 2015

You have to write: "Es improbable que vayan a enviármelo ahora." I know you can do it. - crucesignatus, Apr 14, 2015

To best translate the English,the first sentence should be. "No creo que me hayan enviado el paquete que quiero." Your English is in past tense. In Spain we usually use the present perfect here. - Daniela2041, Apr 14, 2015

Gracias a los dos por ayudarme! - jennysk, Apr 14, 2015

I was waiting for one and they said they tried to deliver, but no one was home. No, no....I waited all day, patiently. They never came. - rac1, Apr 14, 2015

Answer 10

¡¡¡¡Te voy a enviar a la LUNA!!!!

I'm going to send you to the MOON!!!!.----Jackie Gleason in "The Honeymooners."

you're familiar with that? that's even before my time. Nice post. - Sassette, Apr 14, 2015

One of my hobbies is history of comedic entertainment. I have a library of this. I like funny stuff. - Daniela2041, Apr 14, 2015

Oh yes, I know about them too. Great stuff. - rac1, Apr 14, 2015

Answer 11

Podemos ver un amor real cuando los hipopótamos envían el uno al otro besos.

We can see a real love when the hippos send to each other kisses.

"We can see true love when hippos send kisses to each other" Sounds better. :) - rac1, Apr 13, 2015

Hip hip hooray ;-)! - Jraider, Apr 13, 2015

Kati you can ommit completely 'el uno al otro' in your Spa one because you have to use pronoun 'se' and with that it's understood that it's 'each other'... 'hipopótamos 'se' envían besos.' :) - Pablo064, Apr 13, 2015

is "te" necessary in "besote"? Because with the "te" it seems to say "I'm sending an I love you and a kiss you" Seems more natural without the "te": ...an I love you and a kiss - Sassette, Apr 13, 2015

I think I remember having a similar question from something posted by Dani a while ago and I don't remember what the answer was. - Sassette, Apr 13, 2015

I didn't understand your doubt Tipa 'besote' is a 'big kiss' :) - Pablo064, Apr 13, 2015

oh, I didn't know that. Thanks, tiempo. - Sassette, Apr 14, 2015

Thanks Rac - porcupine7, Apr 14, 2015

Gracias Tiempo de estar - porcupine7, Apr 14, 2015

Answer 12

Hoy envío mis pensamientos a una amiga muy especial.
