Welcome to La Palabra Del Día

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.

Como no puedo dormir muy bien en este país tan ruidoso, con perros ladrando de noche y de día, he ivestigado cuantas horas de sueño de veras necesitamos. Parece que una persona que ha vivido noventa años habrá dedicado 30 de estos años al sueño pero puede ser que si no los hubiera dedicado al dormir no habría llegado a los noventa años.

As I don't sleep very well in this noisy country with dogs barking day and night, I've investigated how much sleep a person really needs. It seems that somebody of 90 must have dedicated 30 years to sleeping but it may be that if he had not done so he would not have reached 90 years of age.

Lo que crees necesitado puede no ser asi, si en lo pienses un rato.

What you think you need may not be so, if you could think about it for a while.

No la llevó A ella no le llevó mucho tiempo para descubrir que era un hombre necesitado de recordar. Me sugirió que salga de la habitación y vea si hubiera había algo familiar afuera.

It didn’t take her long to find out that I was a man in need of remembering. She suggested that I leave the room and see if there were something familiar outside.

Si los trabajadores no están protegidos en sus lugares de empleo, pueden ser despedidos de repente sin compensación. Por eso alguien puede volverse muy necesitado en poco tiempo.

If workers are not protected in their place of employment they can be sacked suddenly without compensation. Thus someone can become very needy in a short time.

Me pregunto si se puede decir esto:

A veces, mi mujer puede ser muy necesitada. Sometimes my wife can be very needy.
