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.

Creo que es bastante claro que obtenemos nuestro aspecto hermoso del lado de nuestra mamá de la familia, lo que no está tan claro es ... bueno vamos a decir digamos que el papá estaba rodando la piedra. era un trotamundos.

I think it is pretty clear that we get our good looks from our mom's side of the family, what is less clear is... well let's just say that papa was a rolling stone.

Fido

Los cerditos llegaron a su nave, el techo, pero allí había un policía esperandoles. -Buenas tardes, si ustedes quieren zarpar tienen que pedir una carta verde del ayuntamiento. Para conseguir la carta verde hay que empadronarse en La Puebla y para empadronarse necesitan el permiso de trabajo. ¿Está claro? dijo el policía. -Sí señor capitán, más claro que el agua, respondieron los tres cerditos al coro.

The piglets got back to their ship, the roof but there was a policeman waiting for them there. ' Good afternoon' said the constable. ' If you want to cast off from here you must ask for green card from the Town Hall . In order to get that, you must register yourselves as living here in La Puebla , and in order to register you must have work-permits. Is that clear? '' Yes Mister Captain, crystal clear'' answered the three piglets with one voice.

Wow an EXcelsior accordion would cost about $10,000 or more. I would sooo love to buy a good accordion. Preferably Italian. - Daniela2041, Oct 11, 2015
I'm sure you did. Great pics too.. :) - rac1, Oct 12, 2015
I was lucky... this accordion is about 70 years old but still works great. It belonged to the father of a friend of mine and she is loaning it to me. I didn't realize it was THAT expensive. Daniela, do you play too? - mstivers, Oct 12, 2015

Claro que ahora la galaxia Gutenberg quedó en el fondo, pero a pesar de eso creo que la lectura nunca estará fuera de la fecha.

Of course now the Gutenberg galaxy remained in the background, but nevertheless I believe that reading will never be out of date.

No entiendo "claro en claro"? Typo? or can you help me? - jrschenk, Oct 11, 2015
I don't know either but it sounds like 'estuve despierto toda la noche' I mean it sounds good - Pablo064, Oct 11, 2015
"of course it's clear" is the best I can come up with in trying to translate de claro en claro. That wouldn't make any sense in this sentence. I am confused. Unlike most participants, with a few exceptions, I vote on participation. - Sassette, Oct 11, 2015
Claro also can mean "light" It was light when she went to bed and light again when she woke up. At least that's the way I understand it. - Daniela2041, Oct 11, 2015

No está claro por qué Apple proporciona actualizaciones para mi iPad que hacen que funcione peor, y no está claro por qué las instalo cada vez creyendo que van a mejorar algo, pero después de ayer, sí, está claro que mi iPad apenas funciona.

It is not clear why Apple provides updates for my iPad that make it function worse, and it is not clear why I install them every time believing that they are going to improve something, but after yesterday, yes, it is clear that my iPad barely functions.

I don't understand Apple. The mouse on the iMac I use moves on it's own, darting across the screen and racing to the corners. Apparently I need a mouse pad. I'll see if it works. - Sassette, Oct 12, 2015

Missy, I use a pc and my touch pad. It's worked great, but recently it's been doing the same thing. I've checked it and done everything I know to do, but it is still having problems. :( - rac1, Oct 12, 2015
