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.

Examples:


1: El atrevido escalador de rocas parecía no sentir miedo.

The daring rock climber seemed to have no fear.

2: Por ese comentario atrevido, hoy no vas a salir con tus amiguitos.

Because of that sassy comment, you won't be going out with your little friends tonight.

The adventurous man would go through the deepest pits of hell to please his lover, but it would never be enough to get her to marry him.

El hombre atrevido iría lanzó los hoyos más profundos del infierno para complacer a su amante, pero nunca sería bastante para conseguir que ella se case con él.

I am daring because of my curiosity. If something sparks my curiosity the daringness is there. wink

Nunca he sido una persona atrevida, quizá no tiene que ver con miedo pero sino con supervivencia. (Soy atrevido a través de otro.)

I have never been a daring person, perhaps it doesn’t have to do with fear but rather survival. (I'm vicariously daring.)

Mi esposa y yo no soy somos muy atrevidos, y por eso no vamos a los parques de atracciones hace mucho, pero mi esposa tiene muchas ganas de tener nietos para poder volver a dar vueltas en atracciones para niños pequeños, bueno, entre otros motivos por supuesto.

My wife and I are not very daring, and so we have not gone to amusement parks in a long time, but my wife wants very much to have grandkids so that she can go back to riding the little kid's rides, okay, among other reasons of course.

La chica atrevida fue divertida al principio pero con tiempo se la vuelve menos y menos así.

The sassy young girl was fun at first but with time she became less and less so.

Creo que los hombres jovenes son los más atrevidos de todo. Parece que se sienten immunes al daño. Es por eso que tienen tantos accidentes.

I believe that young men are the most daring of all. It seems they feel immune from injury. That is why they have so many accidents.

Pablo se despertó a media noche en la celda 123, y se dió cuenta de que que la puerta estaba entreabierta. Aúnque estaba muy nervioso se levantó y anduvo de puntillas a la puerta y puso la cabeza fuera para ver que estaba pasando. No había nadie en el pasillo.Casi sin resperar salió de la celda, bajó por la escalera metálica, como si fuera sonámbulo. Llegó a la gran cancela metálica de la cárcel. En la oficina al lado de la puerta el guardia estaba besando a su novia con pasión. Pablo notó con algo de envidia que la novia ya tenía la minifalda en la cintura. Hizo la cosa más atrevida de su vida entera, tomó la opurtunidad y salió de la prisión andando lentamente, como si fuera normal salir de una cárcel a medianoche en píjama.

enter image description here

Pablo woke up at midnight, in Cell 123, and saw that the door was ajar. Although he was very nervous he got up and walked to the door on tip-toes and stuck his head out in order to see what was going on. There was nobody in the passage-way. Holding his breath he left his cell and went down the metal stairway rather as if he were sleepwalking. He got to the big metal entrance gate to the prison. In the office beside the gate the guard was kissing his girlfriend passionately. Pablo noticed, with some envy, that the girlfriend already had her miniskirt around her waist.He did the boldest thing he had ever done in his entire life, he took the opportunity and walked slowly out of the prison, as though it were normal to leave prisons at midnight, wearing a pyjmas.
