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.

Como ya hemos infectado el español con las palabras inglesas "dopaje" y "dopar", deberíamos llamar a esta gente pendeja que usa estas drogas "doperos" aunque todavía el RAE no reconoce la palabra.

As we have already infected Spanish with the English words "dopaje" and "dopar", we should call these stupid people who use these drugs "doperos" although the Spanish Royal Academy still doesn´t recognize the word.

Me parece que el dopaje es tan universal en el deporte que estuviera necesario de anunciar un desarme general, que todo el mundo dejará el dopaje a la vez.

It seems that doping is so universal in sports that it would be required to announce a general disarmament, everyone should stop doping simultanously .

Juan nunca contaminaría el cuerpo con la carne roja o azúcar, pero el dopaje, eso es sólo un problema si en realidad se pillan, ¿verdad?

John never would contaminate his body with red meat or sugar, but doping, that is only a problem if you actually get caught, isn't it?

No es possible saber cuantos atlétas están dopando. Solamente sabemos sobre ellos que están atrapados. Mientras todo el mundo hace un héroe de un ganador, va a ser muchos atlétas que van a seguir usar el dopaje y esperar no estar atrapados.

It is not possible to know how many athletes are doping. We only know about those who are caught. While the whole world makes a hero out of a winner there are going to be many athletes who will continue to use doping and hope to not be caught.
