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.

Quien anida entre los criminales se corrompe.

He who makes a home among criminals, corrupts himself.

This one is from WordReference.com but I like it so much I wanted to post it:

En su corazón anidaba la compasión - Compassion made its home in her heart.

A diferencia de la mayoría de lo pájaros, los búhos madrigueras anidan en el suelo.

Unlike most birds, burrowing owls nest in the ground.

Aunque me gustan los gorriones deseo que no aniden bajo el techo de nuestra casa y que no coman las yeamas de la visteria, una planta primaveral muy bonita.

Although I like the sparrows I wish they wouldn't nest under our roof and that they wouldn't eat the buds on the wisteria, a lovely spring-time plant.

We have that plant here. Is it true it only blooms every 11 years? - Jraider, May 6, 2016
Mine blooms every year, except this year because I whacked it back so much. It is a very vigorous vine once established. - bosquederoble, May 6, 2016
It flowers every year, but the sparrows here are addicted to the buds. Luckily the under-gardener, the cat Gratis, is assisting me this year. - annierats, May 6, 2016
It's a beautiful plant, Annie. :) - rac1, May 6, 2016

Sospecho que los pájaros que han anido justo afuera de nuestra ventana de comedor no van a estar muy contentos mañana cuando hagamos el lavado a presión de nuestra terraza- los molestamos suficientemente anoche cuando celebramos Cinco de Mayo tomando tequila y escuchando música de mariachi allí.

I suspect that the birds that have nested right outside our dining room window are not going to be very happy tomorrow when we do the pressure washing of our deck- we bothered them enough last night when we celebrated Cinco de Mayo drinking tequila and listening to Mariachi music there.

I know the pictures are a re-run. :) - bosquederoble, May 6, 2016
I can't believe I forgot about Cinco de Mayo. :) - rac1, May 6, 2016
By the way, we think the eggs have hatched- my wife's friend says she saw the moths of the babies begging for food- mostly we try to stay away and leave them be, but we have to clean the deck so we can put out the cushions and stuff. :) - bosquederoble, May 6, 2016
Really Bosque, even with my nowadays poor memory I remeber these pictures! - annierats, May 6, 2016
Well, when I have a nest right outside my window, and the word is anidar, what am I supposed to do. I can't remember what the other word I talked about their nest for was. :) - bosquederoble, May 6, 2016
What if they are Mexican birds? - Jraider, May 6, 2016
I believe the range includes Mexico, nonetheless, one of the adults when to the top of a nearby tree and glared at us the whole time. Also remember, most people in Mexico do not celebrate Cinco de Mayo. :D - bosquederoble, May 6, 2016
'han anidado...you could say 'cuando lavemos con la hidro(hidrolavadora) nuestra..' but it is okay :) - Pablo064, May 7, 2016

The beautiful flower field with the mountain background was so beautiful that the stork decided to nest right in perfect view of the scenery.

El campo de la bella flor con el fondo de la montaña era tan hermoso que la cigüeña decidió anido justo en perfecta visión del escenario.

Por muchos años en la puerta de nuestra casa teníamos una corona de Navidad donde los pájaros solían anidar.

For many years we had on our front door a Christmas wreath where birds frequently nested.

Los cigüeñas llegan en Europa en la primavera , anidan aquí, crían sus pollitos y en el otoño parten hacia África para pasar el invierno allí.

The storks arrive in Europe in the spring, nest here, raise their chicks and at fall leave for Africa to spend the winter there.

Creo que después de tener que huir de su país debido a la guerra y a la persecucion, es una tarea muy difícil para los refugiados anidar en un nuevo país. Algunas personas no se adaptan bien nunca , pero es más fácil para los jovenes y los niños.

I think that after having to flee from their country due to war and persecution, it is a very difficult task for refugees to make a home in a new country. Some people never adapt well, but it is easier for young people and children.
