La Palabra Del Dia: "sumamente"

Question

sumamente ( soo-mah-mehn'-teh )

adverb ( extremely; highly )

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.

Answer 7

La teoría general de la relatividad ha tenido mucho éxito en describir cómo el universo funciona en escalas sumamente grandes, y la de la mecánica cuántica en predecir lo que sucede con cosas muy, muy pequeñas- pero las dos teorías describir describen una realidad muy diferente la una a de la otra- y nadie ha averiguado cómo reconciliarlas. Aquí está hay un artículo acerca de un intento que usa el concepto de que el espacio no es continuo sino se compone de píxeles.

: The general theory of relativity has had much success in describing how the universe functions on exceedingly large scales, and that of quantum mechanics in predicting what happens with things very, very small- but the two theories each describe a reality very different from the other- and no one has figured out how to reconcile them. Here is an article about an attempt using the concept that space is not continuous, but instead composed of pixels.

http://nautil.us/issue/29/scaling/will-quantum-mechanics-swallow-relativity

;) - jrschenk, Nov 23, 2015

So...you can think of the universe in two ways, infinitessimally large or infinitessimally small. - Jraider, Nov 23, 2015

Ah, but the pixel concept says you cannot go infinitesimally small- there is not a point between any two points. There is a smallest unit of space- the pixel, and nothing can be smaller. :) - bosquederoble, Nov 23, 2015

Split the pixel, the next task for science? - annierats, Nov 23, 2015

It really is hard for us, with instincts in a world we experience as continuous, to wrap our minds around the idea of something that nothing can be smaller than. ;) - bosquederoble, Nov 23, 2015

I've had no training in that particular area, but I can tell you, it goes on and on. - rac1, Nov 23, 2015

I had a thought when very young that the universe was no more than a raindrop in another reality. :) - ian-hill, Nov 23, 2015

And the truth is nobody know what is outside the universe, if there even is an outside. Although current theory is that the universe is finite and expanding. :D - bosquederoble, Nov 24, 2015

Yes how can anything be outside? What about the concept of "Multiverse" as opposed to "universe"??? - Daniela2041, Nov 24, 2015

And I thought the concept of a finite expanding universe would be more difficult with nothing outside, after all, what is it expanding into? I do not like the Hugh Everett Multiverse concept- although I have nothing against multiple universes. :) - bosquederoble, Nov 24, 2015

As my American wife would say ,"" maybe it is just a "fignewton of the imagination". - ray76, Nov 24, 2015

Ex that is , slick as oil ,Texas juice , lovely as ! - ray76, Nov 24, 2015

..y la de la mecánica..describen..una de la otra..'aqui hay un' is how we would say that :) - Pablo064, Nov 24, 2015

Gracias Pablo. Ray- I love that term, will have to remember it (fignewton of the imagination). :) - bosquederoble, Nov 24, 2015

Very nice entry. :) - rac1, Nov 24, 2015

Answer 10

Soy una mujer cruel y no me preocupo por los osos panda porque a mi me parece sumamente claro que para sobrevivir en este mundo hay que adaptarse y comer lo que haya, y si no hay, tiene que adaptarse otra vez y comer lo que hay, sea hierba, lombrices o mosquitos, porque los que se adapten a comer mosquitos siempre sobrevivirán.

seagull tactics

I'm a cruel woman and I don't worry about Giant Pandas because to me it seems totally obvious that in order to survive in this world one has to adapt and eat whatever there is, and if there is none of that, one has to re-adapt and eat whatever there may be, grass, worms or mosquitoes, whatever, because those that adapt to eat mosquitoes always survive.

I'm not eating those bloodsuckers annie :-)! - Jraider, Nov 23, 2015

You're right Annie. :) - rac1, Nov 23, 2015

A vote for survival of the fittest, it is all about adapting to change. - jrschenk, Nov 23, 2015

...y comer lo que haya..se adaptan..or 'los que se adaptEn a comer mosquitos siempre sobrevivirán,, :) - Pablo064, Nov 24, 2015

I hope that''s better now, Pablo? I can't think why I didn't write ' haya', I knew it didn't seem right.. Oh well, live and learn, or perhaps adapt to never learning? - annierats, Nov 24, 2015

What is it? - annierats, Nov 23, 2015

Tallest building in the world; search the internet :) - Raja-jani, Nov 23, 2015

I'll search too, I'd love to see it. :) - rac1, Nov 23, 2015

'fue sumamente costoso construirlo también.. :) - Pablo064, Nov 24, 2015

Gracias, Pablo :) - Raja-jani, Nov 24, 2015

Answer 12

Si hay más de cuarenta personas en un grupo, la probabilidad que dos de ellos tienen la fecha de nacimiento misma es sumamente alto.

If there are more than forty people in a group, the probability that two of them have the same birthdate is extremely high.
