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.

Bueno, si esto es necesario para ser una buena mujer, yo también soy hombre. Mi casa casí nunca está ni bien arreglada ni limpia , y aunque quizás me comporte bien lo hago llevando mis vaqueros gastados y sin peinarme y, como huelo del huerto o aún peor, de caballo si no me he perfurmado con Chanel 5 en los últimos cinco minutos, vaya..

Well, if this is necessary in order to be a woman I'm also a man. My house is hardly ever tidy, nor clean, and even though maybe I behave well, I do so wearing my worn-out jeans and without combing my hair, and as I smell of the vegetable garden, or even worse, of horse unless I have put on Chanel 5 in the last 5 minutes, well, so what..

A Elena, le gustaba mucho quemar incienso para hacer perfumada la casa entera. Sin embargo, cuando llegó Alfonso a su vida, tuvo que pararlo porque él odiaba el olor.

Elena loved to burn incense to make the whole house perfumed. However, when Alfonso came into her life she had to stop because he hated the smell.

En general las cosas perfumadas pierden su aroma rápidamente o porque se ve va o porque la nos acostumbramos.

In general scented things loose their aroma quickly either because it goes away or because we get used to it.

Puse un ramo de flores en la mesa esta mañana para mi esposa, pero ella llegó tan fuertemente perfumada con una loción de crema de coco que era todo lo que podía oler.

I put a bouquet of flowers on the table this morning for my wife, but she arrived so strongly perfumed with a coconut cream lotion that that was all that I was able to smell.

Sin embargo, eres simpático. - Jubilado, May 8, 2016
I hope you didn't tell her that. :) - rac1, May 8, 2016
I think I sang something to the effect of "sometimes you smell like a coconut, sometimes you don't." Anyone old enough may be able to guess what tune I sang it to. ;D - bosquederoble, May 8, 2016
Does the cream work? I'm willing to try it out! - annierats, May 8, 2016
Well at least if they lived in the US: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz-p1gH1nGc - bosquederoble, May 8, 2016
Work? She is smooth and smells like a coconut. If that is the goal, then yes. It is the one pictured. Ulta is the brand. I know nothing of lotions. :) - bosquederoble, May 8, 2016
