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

A menudo disfrutaba viendo los colores de la puesta del sol. Más tarde, si las nubes lo permitían permitidas, él se maravillaba maravilló el granduer en la grandeza de las estrellas.

He often enjoyed the colors of the sunset. Later, if the clouds allowed, he marveled at the granduer of the stars.

Hola. ;) - jrschenk, Jul 20, 2016

Hola (Jrschenk: - ) ... - Esteban_317, Jul 20, 2016

Non-native opinion for what it is worth. Pick a consistent past, I think imperfect works as the whole thing repeated events in the past. Permitadas as used is serving as an adjective on nubes, leaving no verb in that clause. :) - bosquederoble, Jul 20, 2016

My suggestion: "...si las nubes lo permitían, él se maravillaba de la grandeza de las estrellas." :) - bosquederoble, Jul 20, 2016

Let me guess, his name was?..... - rac1, Jul 20, 2016

Answer 3

Típicamente cuando regreso del trabajo, disfruto arreglando los crucigramas que mi esposa ha tratado de rellenar, pero anoche gocé de burlarme de ella aún más que lo normal por una de sus respuestas- puso "zonas erróneas" por "áreas sensuales".

Typically when I return from work, I take pleasure in fixing the crossword puzzles that my wife has tried to fill out, but last night I enjoyed making fun of her even more than normal for one of her answers- she put "erroneous zones" for "sensual areas".

;) - jrschenk, Jul 20, 2016

What am I missing? - rac1, Jul 20, 2016

48 across in the puzzle. My wife did not quite get it right, which meant she couldn't get any of the ones crossing. :) - bosquederoble, Jul 20, 2016

You are missing the name of the zone from which most of make our biggest mistakes. - jrschenk, Jul 20, 2016

But her mistake did fit in the blocks, and the difference in meaning I found quite humorous. :) - bosquederoble, Jul 20, 2016

JRSchenk get's it of course- and why I found that particular mistake so hilarious. :) - - bosquederoble, Jul 20, 2016

Jeje! Muy bien bosque ;-)! - Jraider, Jul 20, 2016

i still don't get it, but I usually don't get jokes right away either. jeje - rac1, Jul 20, 2016

@Rac She wrote "erroneous zones" where she should have written "erogenous zones", a humerous mistake when you think of the errors we make because of them. :) - jrschenk, Jul 20, 2016

Or the fact that when you try to make a move on one of them at the wrong time, it turns out to be an erroneous decision. :) - bosquederoble, Jul 20, 2016

Yes, we could go on and on... :D - jrschenk, Jul 20, 2016

Yes we could, indeed. :D - bosquederoble, Jul 21, 2016
