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.

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

Hay que no descansar demasiado. Estás muerto durante mucho tiempo, y hay mucho que hacer antes de eso.

One shouldn't rest too much. You're dead a long time, and there's a lot to do before then.

As I am now,

Soon you shall be,

So, prepare, my friend,

To be with me...

Como estoy ahora,

Pronto estarás,

Así que, amigo,

Preparate para estar conmigo...

As the old saying goes... I'll sleep when I'm dead :-)! - Jraider, May 15, 2015

Great poem, amigo. :) - rac1, May 15, 2015

Answer 4

Aún El Señor decidió descansar la séptima parte de su tiempo * y pasó el aviso.

*(Original: un séptimo del tiempo de su trabajo)

Even the Lord decided to rest a seventh of his work time and passed on the advice.

Great post, Jubilado! And a tricky one to translate into Spanish. Maybe I would say: "... decidió descansar la séptima parte de su tiempo". - LuisCache, May 15, 2015

I guess the National Football League (NFL) didn't listen. Thanks for comment on my post, Jubi! - Sassette, May 15, 2015

Good observation Jubi :-)! - Jraider, May 15, 2015

@PageTwo: Jesus said," The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath." So just put "Football" where "man" is. No disrespect meant, Señor. - Jubilado, May 15, 2015

Great post!! - rac1, May 15, 2015

Answer 5

Okay, I've rested more than enough, it's Very well, already I have rested so much, is time to publish something.

Muy bien, ya he descansado demasiado, es hora de publicar algo.

Aunque mi computadora no es tan chévere, jeje :) - crucesignatus, May 15, 2015

Go cruce go!!! - Jraider, May 15, 2015

The translation of you Spanish would be "I have rested too much already..." "Already I have rested so much" doesn't sound natural to me in English. To me "Okay, I've rested more than enough, it's (not "is") time...." sounds very natural. - Jubilado, May 15, 2015

go with Jubilado's comments. He's right on the money. - Sassette, May 15, 2015

Gracias por las correcciones amigos Jubilado y Page. :) - crucesignatus, May 15, 2015

Gracias, cruce! In what situation would you use 'pueda'? - Raja-jani, May 15, 2015

En situaciones ambiguas o hipotéticas. :) - crucesignatus, May 15, 2015

Answer 7

Cuando vi la Copa Mundial de Fútbol de 2014 me di cuenta de algo que quizás sea una razón por la que cual los anunciantes estadounidenses no quisieran que el deporte de fútbol se hiciera demasiado popular en los Estados Unidos- excepto cuando los jugadores descansan durante el medio tiempo, no hay pausas- en contraste con los deportes más populares en la televisión en los Estados Unidos- y por eso no se pueden transmitir los anuncios a en intervalos regulares.

When I watched the FIFA World Cup in 2014 I realized something that might be a reason that the American advertisers would not want the sport of soccer to become too popular in the United States- except when the players rest at half-time, there are no pauses- in contrast to the most popular sports on the television in the United States- and so the advertisements could not be aired at regular intervals.

yes, it is different in that way. Most of the time when I tune in to see the score of a popular game here in the US there are ads running and I have to wait for the ads to finish before I can get an update. So many ads in sporting events. - Sassette, May 15, 2015

Who wants to bet that they will find a way to advertise even while the game is in progress? - Jraider, May 15, 2015

yeah, they can split the screen. Looks like good use of subjuctive in your sentence. Of course, tiempo will probably have a final say on all that. - Sassette, May 15, 2015

Good point! - LuisCache, May 15, 2015

Never thought of that, you have a point. - rac1, May 15, 2015

.por la cual los anunciante..no quisieran que el futbol se hiciera demasiado popular...mas populares...en intervalos regulares... yesterday I went to the Stadium and it ended up with incidents I got to my house very late and I had to get up very early :( - Pablo064, May 15, 2015

Gracias, Tiempo. :) - bosquederoble, May 15, 2015

At least my subjunctive choices seem to have worked. :) - bosquederoble, May 15, 2015

yes of course it works - Pablo064, May 16, 2015

I was trying to decide between past subjunctive and conditional- querría y se haría. :) - bosquederoble, May 16, 2015

Answer 8

A veces parece que mi gata y mi perra no hacen nada más que descansar todo el día.

Sometimes it seems like my cat and my dog do nothing more than rest all day.
