La Palabra Del Dia: "fiarse"

Question

fiarse ( fee-ahr'-seh )

verb ( to trust; to believe )

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 1

Mi hija siempre dice que yo no bebo agua, que solo tomo café y vino, pero no debe uno fiarse desmasiado en lo que dicen los hijos.

My daughter always says that I don't drink water, that I just drink coffee and wine but one shouldn't believe everything that one's children say.

Annie, I had a witty thought to share, but I decided it might be too mature for younger viewers. I'll just say that, like W.C.Fields, I don't drink a lot of water, either. ;). - jrschenk, Dec 31, 2015

jrschenk, it just lacks flavour, in my humble opinion, it´s sort of watery. - annierats, Dec 31, 2015

Yes, in a word, it's watery. :D - jrschenk, Dec 31, 2015

Despite everything, I still trust in the basic goodness of Human Beings.

Why did you capitalize, "human beings"? Just curious. jeje - rac1, Dec 31, 2015

I would also capitalize it, rac, but not in the Spanish version. No real reason, just good faith, I guess. - annierats, Dec 31, 2015

And I agree, basically we´re not that bad, only a bit, most of us.. - annierats, Dec 31, 2015

I encounter people each day that reaffirm your contention. :D - jrschenk, Dec 31, 2015
