adjective ( definitely; permanently; for good )

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.

Answer 4

Algunos creen que el calentamiento global definitivamente está sucediendo y que sucede como resultado directo de las acciones de los seres humanos, algunos no lo creen, y, por lo menos, a mí me parece que a algunos no les importa mucho el tema entero.

Soem Some people believe that global warming is definitely happening and that it is happening as a direct result of the actions of human beings, some don’t believe that, and, at least it seems to me, to some the entire subject doesn’t matter much.

It's been proven. Plus one can look around and see a lot of it. - rac1, Mar 15, 2016

I am not commenting on whether it is real or not, simply on the varying responses that people have toward the subject. ;) - bosquederoble, Mar 15, 2016

The climate has changed one way or the other ever since it existed. :) - ian-hill, Mar 15, 2016

Typo: "soem". Like a good scientist you are recording anecdotal information. What we believe and what is are not necessarily the same. - Jubilado, Mar 15, 2016

Yes, I know, I'm just saying. :) - rac1, Mar 15, 2016

I of course, have my own personal opinion (and have probably shared it before)- but that was not what this sentence was about. :) - bosquederoble, Mar 15, 2016

I believe it is happening, but there could be a myriad of causes ;-)! - Jraider, Mar 15, 2016

why don't you believe it is happening Bosque? jaja just kidding tengo un amigo que dice que sí hay calentamiento pero que es normal y natural y que no tiene nada que ver el hombre:D - Pablo064, Mar 16, 2016

En mi opinión creo que sí, que existe y es culpa de la emisión de gases y vos que crees Bosque? no recuerdo que hayas hecho un comentario al respecto - Pablo064, Mar 16, 2016

He colgado varios mensajes acerca de este tema, y la verdad es que si no creyera que fuera culpa nuestra, probablemente no los habría colgado. - bosquederoble, Mar 16, 2016

Pero reconozco que mi punto de vista es polémico. Por lo menos entre los que no entienden la ciencía. :) - bosquederoble, Mar 16, 2016

So I will agree with the viewpoint of Jubilado, who didn't express it this time, but has before. :) - bosquederoble, Mar 16, 2016

Which of course is that of you and Rac. :) - bosquederoble, Mar 16, 2016

and anyone who understands that science is not just an opinion - jennysk, Mar 16, 2016

Don't know if the usage is correct, but I really like you poetic entries. - Jubilado, Mar 15, 2016

Jejeje! He's just looking for a bird to eat :-0!!!! - Jraider, Mar 15, 2016

It's like to say 'the cat's definitely stare..' in Spanish it would be 'permanente' too - Pablo064, Mar 16, 2016

'La mirada permanente del gato contempló las hermosas flores primaverales y el sol tempranero de la mañana' ;) - Pablo064, Mar 16, 2016
