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.

The sun shone brightly on the waves as they crashed on the sandy beach, while daisies hung in a green basket.

El sol relucía sobre las olas que se estrellaron en la playa, mientras que margaritas colgaban en una canasta verde.

Cuando vio reluciendo las joyas que le iban a proporcionar para llevar puestas durante el espectáculo, supo que iba a relucir de verdad esa noche.

When she saw the jewels that they were going to provide her to wear during the show glittering, she knew right then that she was going to shine that night for sure.

Hoy he aprendido dos expresiones españolas. 1) Salir a relucir - Come out; come to light 2) Sacar a relucir - bring out

Voy a intentar a usar en frases: 1) En días como hoy sale a relucir la verdad. On days like today the truth comes out.

2) ¡Saca a relucir lo mejor en los demás! Bring out the best in others!

Desafortunadamente, algunos de ellos que relucen en los deportes no relucen en otras partes de sus vidas. ¿Con qué frecuencia escuchamos de escándalos conectados con las estrellas de los deportes?

Unfortunately, some of those who shine at sport do not shine in other parts of their lives. How often do we hear of scandals involving sports stars?
