La Palabra Del Dia: "entero"

Question

entero ( ehn-teh'-roh )

adjective ( entire, whole; complete )

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.

Bond, Falda Bond. - rac1, Aug 6, 2015

Mission impossible ???? - Jraider, Aug 6, 2015

The picture is now of Falda, of course, he is much too clever to be caughton camera.. - annierats, Aug 6, 2015

..robó una cadena de los baños/del toilet/del servicio de la piscina..que 'ese' fue el momento...' :) - Pablo064, Aug 7, 2015

Answer 6

El mundo entero habla de este lugar, como uno de más interesantes vestigios del pasado.

The whole world is talking about this place, as one of the more interesting relics of the past.

,,,,"place as"... ...."relics"... :)♥ - rac1, Aug 6, 2015

A stunning vista :-)! - Jraider, Aug 6, 2015

Hello Porcupine!!! one typo: "de Los más interesanteS vestigioS", it could be "reliquias" too. :) - crucesignatus, Aug 6, 2015

If you use "reliquias" would be in feminine "de las más interesantes reliquias". :) - crucesignatus, Aug 6, 2015

Gracias amigos - porcupine7, Aug 7, 2015

Answer 7

¡Uf! Ayer pasé el día entero componiendo "posts" de felicitaciones para Falda_Escocesa.

Sheesh! I spent the whole day yesterday composing congrats posts for Falda_Escocesa.

(Nota: En casa diríamos "Pasé todo el santo día componiendo------" At home we would say, I was composing congrats posts for Falda_Escocesa 'all day long'.)

And I'm a little bit tired after that wild dance! Whooeeee! - Daniela2041, Aug 6, 2015

I'll bet you are. lol - rac1, Aug 6, 2015

I missed it :-(! - Jraider, Aug 6, 2015

@jraider. Just go to the 50K post for Falda. My post was on the second page. Unless I got more votes, it's still there. - Daniela2041, Aug 6, 2015

It does take time. Well spent. - katydew, Aug 6, 2015

Answer 8

Anoche fuimos a un concierto en el parque, y le pedí que a mi esposa que nos comprara a cada uno una copa de vino, pero le di un billete de veinte, así que regresó con una botella entera.

Last night we went to a concert in the park, and I asked my wife to buy us each a cup of wine, but I gave her a twenty, so she returned with a whole bottle.

That's funny! ¿Quizá "le pedí a mi esposa que..."? - Jubilado, Aug 6, 2015

I meant to put "le pedí que mi esposa nos comprara" to see if that would work, I do not know why I added the second que. I like to try things that are different from my normal, I know that your way works. :) - bosquederoble, Aug 6, 2015

Why not? Enjoy yourself :-)! - Jraider, Aug 6, 2015

Always better value, buy the bottle! - annierats, Aug 6, 2015

Sounds like my wife! - Winkfish, Aug 6, 2015

Jubilado is right, that is the correct way. - crucesignatus, Aug 6, 2015

That sounds like a nice evening out. :) - rac1, Aug 6, 2015

It was. :) - bosquederoble, Aug 6, 2015

Thrifty. - katydew, Aug 6, 2015

it doesn't work because you cannot omit the personal a 'le pedí a mi esposa que' just like Jubilado & cruce said - Pablo064, Aug 7, 2015

Gracias, Pablo. :) - bosquederoble, Aug 7, 2015

You have to do things wrong, not just right, in order to learn. :) - bosquederoble, Aug 7, 2015

Answer 9

Yo estoy que me como una pizza entera y algo mas. ¡Hay hambre!

I'm in the mood for eating a whole pizza and something else. There's hunger!

I'm hungry! sounds better, perhaps. There is hunger sounds like, well, Africa is a continent where there is a lot of hunger. - annierats, Aug 6, 2015

Or you could say... "Now that's hunger!" :-)! - Jraider, Aug 6, 2015

Yes, "Now that's hunger!" sounds perfect. ♥ - rac1, Aug 6, 2015

Yes, "There's hunger!" sounds strange. Change to "Now that's hunger" or "There's hunger for you!" These are English equivalents. - Jubilado, Aug 6, 2015

Hay hambre is a Puerto Rican saying. I roughly translated it. So, there is nothing bad about it. - SalvadorRSPR, Aug 7, 2015

Answer 10

Ayer por la noche me comí una barra de chocolate entera ,

yo siempre comer demasiado cuando estoy preocupado .

Last night I ate a whole chocolate bar, I always eat too much when I'm worried.

And I always eat too much chocolate regardless of the reason! - Jubilado, Aug 6, 2015

The munchies :-)! - Jraider, Aug 6, 2015

You should eat the dark chocolate. :) - rac1, Aug 6, 2015

Just stop it. Of course, I've done it as well. - katydew, Aug 6, 2015

...siempre como demasiado... :) - Pablo064, Aug 7, 2015

Answer 11

Pavo entero o sólo la corona es una decicíon que tengo que hacer cada navidad. Depende del número de personas que vienen para cenar y qué tan grande es el pavo...

Whole turkey or just the crown is a decision I have to make every Christmas. It depends on how many folk are coming for dinner and the size of the bird...

You both do the cooking in your house? :) - rac1, Aug 6, 2015

Soy el cocinero porque mi esposa no quiere que muramos de intoxicación alimenticia... ;-) - Faldaesque, Aug 6, 2015

I love the leftovers from a big holiday meal :-)! - Jraider, Aug 6, 2015

Your alibi: You were cooking at the time that the crime was committed? - annierats, Aug 6, 2015

Answer 12

La leche entera a mí me sabe bien en una taza de té.

Whole milk tastes good in a cup of tea.

Yum! :) - rac1, Aug 6, 2015

Yes, I always think, better have a small amount of proper milk than cups of bluish water with all the fat taken out.. - annierats, Aug 7, 2015

Yes, me too, Annie. Skim milk in tea? Might as well drink it black. - katydew, Aug 7, 2015

Answer 13

"1. ¿Cuánto es un entero menos tres cuartos?"... Un entero menos tres cuartos... un entero menos...

'1. What is a whole one minus three quarters?'... A whole one minus three quarters... a one whole minus...

Thank you, Bosque and Rac!

I would probably say "what is a whole one" (or even one whole one). One whole sounds too much like one hole. :) - bosquederoble, Aug 6, 2015

..."one whole minus"... - rac1, Aug 6, 2015

A quarter????? - Jraider, Aug 6, 2015

The correct math term is "a whole" as in 2 halves make a whole, but you probably posted the statement best by saying "one whole." - Jubilado, Aug 6, 2015

Answer 14

En el mundo entero el amor es único.

In the entire world love is unique.

Great post Jubi :-)! - Jraider, Aug 6, 2015

I totally agree, amigo. :) - rac1, Aug 6, 2015

Answer 15

Cuando vimos "Inside Out," mi esposa y yo lloramos durante la película entera.

When we saw "Inside Out," my wife and I cried during the entire movie.

Oh no...I haven't seen it yet. - rac1, Aug 6, 2015

You big softy :-)! - Jraider, Aug 6, 2015

In LA it is 'intensamente' I don not know in Spain :) - Pablo064, Aug 7, 2015
