adjective ( annoyed, upset; annoying, bothersome )

.

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.

.

Please encourage everyone with a vote.
.

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 1

¡Me siento muuy molesta cuando trabajo muy duro para contestar una pregunta de gramática, y la persona que puso la pregunta no me da ni voto, ni comentario, ni NADA!! ¡Ouuuggghh!

I get veerry bugged when I work very hard to answer a grammar question and the person who posted the question doesn't give me a vote or a comment or NOTHING!! Ouuuggghh!

A veces la paciencia se agota compañera, jeje. tienes mi voto. - crucesignatus, Apr 18, 2015

It's not worth getting upset, amiga. Some people just don't care. You always have my vote. ♥♥♥ - rac1, Apr 18, 2015

I was going to complain about voting today. I don't check out the grammar questions much which isn't good because I'm missing good stuff so I may be at fault. No votes if I'm not looking at it. - Sassette, Apr 18, 2015

...but I have noticed that grammar quesitons don't get a lot of votes which is unfortunate. Hopefully, you will still help because it's valuable. - Sassette, Apr 18, 2015

Daniela, siempre te daré un voto, hago las correcciones que me das y sobre todo, te doy las gracias ) - FELIZ77, Apr 18, 2015

¡Me siento por ti , amiga porque hacía las correcciones en un hilo en otro web sitio y a menudo las algunas personas no me daban las gracias ni hacIan las correcciones puede ser muy frustrante ...amiga - FELIZ77, Apr 18, 2015

They should at least get a vote up from the one who asked the question! :) - jim5489, Apr 18, 2015

I totally agree, Jim:) - FELIZ77, Apr 18, 2015

Gracias, amigos, siempre estáis muy amables conmigo. Es que hay varios estudiantes que me vuelven loca por no darme una respuests diciendo que me entendieron o no. - Daniela2041, Apr 18, 2015

If I read it I will vote for you Dani :-)! - Jraider, Apr 18, 2015

Answer 2

El constante bombardeo de anuncios molestos que una persona se somete está loco.

The constant barrage of advertisements that a person is subjected to is crazy.

Please see tiempo's suggestion !

And most of them aren't even cute. :( - rac1, Apr 18, 2015

You're right, and I have cut down on using this site. - Raja-jani, Apr 18, 2015

Raj.... talk to rac about that, she really helped me out :-)! - Jraider, Apr 18, 2015

I'd say 'Es loco el constante...de anuncios..molestos a la que una personase somete.' :) - Pablo064, Apr 18, 2015

Raj...send me a pm. :) - rac1, Apr 18, 2015

nice post, crazy cat - Sassette, Apr 18, 2015

A pest we have to live with, unfortunately. :( - rac1, Apr 18, 2015

Blood suckers :-(((!!!! - Jraider, Apr 18, 2015

Answer 4

Las personas que se ven obligadas a compartir lo que se come en cada comida en medios de comunicación social son molestos. ¿No se les han enseñado que malos modales para comer delante de otras?

People who are compelled to share what they eat on social media are annoying. Weren't they taught that it is bad manners to eat in front of others?

It they were, it didn't register. - rac1, Apr 18, 2015

:) - Daniela2041, Apr 18, 2015

Anyone that takes part in that has too much time on their hands :-)! - Jraider, Apr 18, 2015

Answer 5

Procuro no molestarme mucho por las cosas que pasan, porque no quiero enfermarme.

I try to not get too bothered by things that happen because I don't want to make myself ill.

The english sounds a little strange. Suggestion: "I try to not get too bothered by things that happen because I don't want to make myself ill" - BailaBailaBaila, Apr 18, 2015

... or did you mean "sick of myself." ? - Jraider, Apr 18, 2015

I thought that, but I didn't know how to express it. - crucesignatus, Apr 18, 2015

Thank you Baila and Jraider. - crucesignatus, Apr 18, 2015

Aunque a veces no logro "rebotar" como diría Carlos Cuauhtémoc Sánchez en su libro: "Ser feliz es la Neta". - crucesignatus, Apr 18, 2015

Remaining as calm as possible and not allowing people or things steal your peace of mind is paramount. :) - rac1, Apr 18, 2015

These interruptions are very annoying.

¡Qué molestos están hoy los niños!

The children are very trying today!

Yes, sometimes ian... and I have to babysit today :-)! - Jraider, Apr 18, 2015

Thanks Ian :) - rac1, Apr 18, 2015

Hola amigos. - ian-hill, Apr 18, 2015

Is it correct if I say 'my co-workers are very trying today?' because I didn't know that expression and I like it :D - Pablo064, Apr 18, 2015

Yes it is tiempo. BUt we also say "They are really trying today" to mean "They are really annoying today" or "They are trying hard today.":) - ian-hill, Apr 18, 2015

Thank you Ian for some reason I like those expressions I won't forget them - Pablo064, Apr 18, 2015

Good distinction Ian, trying as an adjective has a very different meaning from trying as a gerund. It comes from the phrase 'to try one's patience'. - jennysk, Apr 18, 2015

These are the annoyances that try men's souls... - jrschenk, Apr 19, 2015

Answer 7

La gente que habla demasiado me molesta mucho. A menudo, hago como que estoy escuchando, pero la verdad es que estoy perdido en mis propios pensamientos.

People who talk too much annoy me a lot. I often pretend to be listening, when actually I'm lost in my own thoughts.

Does "perdido en mis propios pensamientos" sound correct in Spanish? Not sure if its too-direct of a translation - BailaBailaBaila, Apr 18, 2015

And usually talking yet saying nothing. - rac1, Apr 18, 2015

Blah blah blah blah blah :-((!!!! - Jraider, Apr 18, 2015

:-) - BailaBailaBaila, Apr 18, 2015

Sí es correcto. - crucesignatus, Apr 18, 2015

Gracias, Peregrine - BailaBailaBaila, Apr 18, 2015

...hago como 'que' estoy escuchando... I agree with peregrine it's perfect :) - Pablo064, Apr 18, 2015

Thanks tiempo_de_es! I often have a problem with leaving out the 'que's in phrases like this. What is your native language? - BailaBailaBaila, Apr 18, 2015

Soy de Argentina así que Español BailaBaila :) - Pablo064, Apr 18, 2015

Ah... Have always wanted to visit Argentina. It says your level of Spanish is beginner in your profile - hence the question :-) - BailaBailaBaila, Apr 18, 2015

:) - Raja-jani, Apr 18, 2015

oh lol yes I was pablo64 and I had my profile completed so who remember me knows I am Spa speaker...what are you waiting for to come ;) - Pablo064, Apr 18, 2015

I like your sentence. I think it is very practical! - Jubilado, Apr 18, 2015

Answer 8

Me molesta cuando tu mientes porque no podré confiar en ti en el futuro.

It bothers me when you lie because I cannot trust you in the future.

Very good, Porcu! :) - rac1, Apr 18, 2015

Muy bien. :)- - languagenut, Apr 18, 2015

Excelente porcu ;-)! - Jraider, Apr 18, 2015

...porque no podré confiar en...(future) :) - Pablo064, Apr 18, 2015

Gracias Tiempo de estar - porcupine7, Apr 18, 2015

Es un retrato del presidente,¿que no? - Daniela2041, Apr 18, 2015

Answer 9

Es muy molesto cuando mi hermana menor me golpee golpea.

It's very upsetting when my younger sister beats me up.

No time for another project to desribe my "molesto" over a lack of votes. I put in so much effort for such few votes and no one will allow me to finish is first place alone just once. But I post anyway because I love Spanish and graphics. - Sassette, Apr 18, 2015

..me golpea... :) 'describe my 'molestia' over...' I see your effort :) - Pablo064, Apr 18, 2015

Good post Tipa, just hang in there and it will happen :-)! - Jraider, Apr 18, 2015

I gave you best answer on two posts recently, I hope you saw them, amiga. ♥♥♥ - rac1, Apr 18, 2015

Missy, keep on doing it for the sake of learning. I don't worry about recognition. - Raja-jani, Apr 18, 2015

Good job, Missy! - sanlee, Apr 19, 2015

thanks for comments everyone. Guessed wrong and went subjunctive with "golpear", Tiempo. - Sassette, Apr 19, 2015

@Jraider I'll have to come to terms with the fact that a #1 position solo is not possible for me. With 5 really nice projects that qualified none made it. It is very evident that the group will not allow me to have that position. Ever. - Sassette, Apr 19, 2015

@tipa, my lovely friend , please please enjoy the journey and this moment , nothing else exists , the goal is a figment of the imagination , this moment isn't it is real as are you my lovely girl. - ray76, Apr 19, 2015

Now here is a badge for you for indulging a silly old man . - ray76, Apr 19, 2015

Hey Tipagal, you doing a fantastic job. Keep it up. I make an effort too. The ideas certainly don't flow naturally out of my brain. Work, work, work - languagenut, Apr 19, 2015

Answer 10

Nada más molesto que las moscas en verano; visitantes de lugares de comidas y restaurantes.

Nothing is more irritating than flies in summer; visitors to dining venues and restaurants.

And picnics. :) - rac1, Apr 18, 2015

...or mosquitoes ;-((!!! - Jraider, Apr 18, 2015

see, invierno, which everyone complains about, does have some advantages - Sassette, Apr 18, 2015

And people look at me like I'm strange when I say I don't like eating outdoors! - Jubilado, Apr 18, 2015

Answer 11

A veces mi esposa me parece molesta, pero cuando yo le pregunto siempre me dice que no está así.

Sometimes my wife appears annoyed, but when I ask her she always tells me that she is not.

You all love the cats, don't you? - Jubilado, Apr 18, 2015

Absolutely! :) - rac1, Apr 18, 2015

Yes! I'm a cat woman. I've thought about getting a cat but I just don't have my life together and thus I wouldn't be a good enough cat owner. - Sassette, Apr 19, 2015

..parece molesta or parece estar molesta.. :) - Pablo064, Apr 19, 2015

¡Gracias, tiempo! - Jubilado, Apr 19, 2015

Hay espacio en mi corazón para los gatos y perros, pero no serpientes. - jrschenk, Apr 19, 2015

I don't love cats because I love birds. - jennysk, Apr 19, 2015

Answer 12

Solía molestarme acerca de varias cosas pero entonces me di cuenta de que estar molesta es inútil. Si puedes cambiar algo, ¡ trata de hacerlo! ¡Sino, ignoralo!

I used to get annoyed about various things but then I realised that to be annoyed is pointless. If you can change something, try to! If not, ignore it!

Great advice, Jenny. :) - rac1, Apr 18, 2015

awesome entry! 2 cats in a row with Jubilado and a great thought that I should keep in mind. It's like the serenity prayer. It's hard for me to follow but it's the best the way to go. - Sassette, Apr 19, 2015

..me di cuenta de que... good sentence Jenny :) - Pablo064, Apr 19, 2015

Thanks tiempo and everyone. I don't really achieve this, it's more an aspiration! - jennysk, Apr 19, 2015

Answer 13

Los viajes al extranjeros implican pasar por migraciones. ¿Crees que es molesto?

Foreign travel involves passing through immigration. Do you think it’s bothersome?

Flying these days has become very tedious and annoying :-(! - Jraider, Apr 18, 2015

'...Los viajes al extranjeros...pasar por migraciones.' :) - Pablo064, Apr 18, 2015

Because we need so much security these days due to crazies out there. - rac1, Apr 18, 2015
