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 1

The massive ship rocked viciously back and forth on the crazily mad waves that the storms were brewing.

El barco masivo se meció brutalmente de acá para allá en las ondas locamente locas que las tormentas elaboraban.

And they end up on a deserted island? lol - rac1, May 4, 2016

Full marks for an ambitious sentence! - annierats, May 4, 2016

Great sentence, Nickel :) - FELIZ77, May 4, 2016

Thanks amigos, I am unsure about where they'll end out hopefully on and Island and not at the bottom of the sea. - Nickelbackfan1, May 4, 2016

Answer 2

In the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, the man told the woman that he was madly in love with her, and with that, they both looked at the beautiful Spanish mountain setting.

A la sombra de la Torre Eiffel, el hombre le dijo a la mujer que estaba perdidamente locamente con ella y de que ambos miraban el ajuste de la montaña hermosa del español.

But now we know they flew off to Meteora, Greece! - Jubilado, May 4, 2016

Beautiful. :) - rac1, May 4, 2016

Matjam, I would say: ambos miraban a la hermosa montaña española - FELIZ77, May 4, 2016

why were you using the verb ajustar (el ajuste) here, please? I cannot see any need for it! What were you trying to say? - FELIZ77, May 4, 2016

Did you mean, they were fixing their gaze on the mountain? Miraban fijamente a la hermosa montaña española I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, May 4, 2016

Answer 4

Cuando su mejor amigo se enamoró locamente de su novia, el pobre Pablo no sabía que hacer, se puso locamente celoso, y desgraciadamente después de beber una botella entera de ron ( no había vino en su casa) cometió un crimen locamente violenta y ahora está en la cárcel , sin novia, sin ron y sin amigos.

When his best friend fell madly in love with his girl-friend, poor Pablo didn't know what to do, he just became insanely jealous and, disgracefully, after drinking a whole bottle of rum ( there was no wine in the house) he committed an outrageously violent crime. Now he is in prison, without a girlfriend, without rum and without friends.

If he had had a bottle of wine instead, he would have become more mellow, I think. - annierats, May 4, 2016

Great sentence, Annie :) - FELIZ77, May 4, 2016

Great post and a warning of what can happen. :) - rac1, May 4, 2016

Thank you, yes, always keep wine in the house, it takes longer to drink and in the meantime you calm down! - annierats, May 5, 2016

'violento,,en la càrcel..' pobre Pablo se quedò sin amigos :D - Pablo064, May 5, 2016

Gracias, Pablo, como estas? - annierats, May 5, 2016

Answer 5

Si molestas una colmena, es posible que las abejas enjambren locamente por todas partes buscando un enemigo para atacar, así que no lo recomiendo.

If you bother a beehive, it is possible that the bees will swarm about madly looking for an enemy to attack, so I don't recommend it.

Thank you for the good advice. What would we do without Spanish Dict? - annierats, May 4, 2016

So we had better all behive (behave) lol - FELIZ77, May 4, 2016

Good post, Bosque! :) - rac1, May 4, 2016

Ow I bet that stings like a bee (actual reference I use float like a butterfly sting like a bee from Muhammad Ali) - Nickelbackfan1, May 5, 2016

:D - Pablo064, May 5, 2016

Gracias, Pablo. :) - bosquederoble, May 5, 2016

Answer 6

¡Un hombre tuvo una pesadilla! ¡Soñó que algunos ladrones entraron a robar su casa y comenzaron a amenazar a su familia! ¡Su esposa agarró la sartén y empezó a pegar (o golpear) a la cabecilla en la parte detrás de la cabeza! Cuando llegaron dos agentes de policía detuvieron la mujer del hombre por agresión con lesiones contra los ladrones. El esposo comenzó a gritar de manera locamente: " ¡Acabáis de arrestar la persona equivocada ...mi esposa vive aquí ...deberíais detener a los malditos ladrones!"

A man had a bad dream! He dreamt that some burglars broke into his house and started to threaten his family! His wife grabbed the frying pan and began to hit the ringleader over the back of the head! When two police officers arrived they arrested the man's wife for assaulting the burglars! The husband started shouting crazily: "You've just arrested the wrong person ...my wife lives here..you should arrest the bl$&~y burglars instead!"

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor

..."this man's house"... I know you are going to add the Spanish. :) - rac1, May 4, 2016

Thank you for pointing out my mistake, Amber! I actually wanted to say: broke into his (own) house etc...Thank you anyway , my friend your observation was gratefully received! :) - FELIZ77, May 4, 2016

'parte de atràs de''or 'en la parte trasera de la...'..detuvieron a la mujer...:) - Pablo064, May 5, 2016

Answer 7

No puedo entender los gatos. Un gato puede estar sentado pacificamente y de repente, por ninguna aparente razón, comencer correr locamente alrededor de la casa.

I cannot understand cats. A cat can be sitting peacefully and then suddenly, for no apparent reason, start running wildly around the house.

They are a tad bit strange. lol - rac1, May 4, 2016

'comenzar a correr...' ;) - Pablo064, May 5, 2016

Answer 8

No puedo creer;¡ Un lobo locamente enamorado! Esperamos que no de un cordero, porque en este caso no podemos predecir un buen fin de su amor.

I can not believe; A wolf madly in love! Hopefully not with a lamb, because in this case we can not predict a good end of their love.

"I can't believe a wolf would be madly in love. Hopefully, not with a lamb because it that's the case, we can predict a dreadful outcome".... Sounds more natural, amiga. :) - rac1, May 4, 2016

Wonderful sentence, Porcu! I love the picture, it's very funny hahaha - FELIZ77, May 4, 2016

Thanks Rac - porcupine7, May 5, 2016

Thanks Feliz - porcupine7, May 5, 2016

Answer 9

Cuando la bolsa comenza a comportarse locamente, los inversores no saben que hacer. ¡Compre! ¡Venda! ¡No, compre!

When the stock exchange starts to behave crazily, the investors don't know what to do. Buy! Sell! No, buy!

It's quite a frenzy on that floor most days. lol - rac1, May 7, 2016
