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.

Why is that mate? - ray76, Aug 31, 2016
It's complicated! Alexander Hamilton was one of our founding fathers and appears on our $10 bill. Burr was a much more controversial figure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burr–Hamilton_duel - mstivers, Aug 31, 2016

"Women are victorious, but in some countries the fight for equality must continue for all women in the world". Sounds much more natural. :) - rac1, Aug 31, 2016

Se ha dicho que la historia es escrito por los vencedores, pero la verdad es que, con el tiempo, después de que los sentimientos hayan desvanecido un poco, los historiadores llegan a ser más imparcial, y se pueden existir varias versiones, especialmente hoy en día en la época de Internet, pero, sí, los cuentos de los triunfantes siguen predominando.

It has been said that history is written by the victors, put the truth is that, with time, after feelings have dissipated a little, historians end up being more impartial, and various versions can exist, especially nowadays in the Internet age, but, yes, the accounts of the triumphant continue to predominate.

Who are you rooting for, Jenny? - rac1, Aug 31, 2016
hi rac, I have to tell you that 'rooting' has a different meaning here, rather a rude one! We would say barracking for, and I think that has another meaning in the UK.. - jennysk, Aug 31, 2016
I don't care who wins. My team is on the bottom this year, as half its players were suspended on doping charges. - jennysk, Aug 31, 2016
So sad about the doping charges and their problems. I didn't know that word meant something different there. lol I'm so sorry and I'll try not to use it again. Thanks Jenny. :) - rac1, Sep 1, 2016

The new football team coach was jumping up and down triumphantly declaring (announcng): "We have won, we have won, at last we have won!", until somebody gently reminded him that it was only 'half time'! He hasn't been seen since! I wonder why? wink

Con correcciones:

El nuevo entrenador del equipo fútbol daba saltos y anunciaba triunfalmente: " ¡Hemos ganado, hemos ganado, finalmente hemos ganado!" hasta que alguien le recordó con tacto que solo era el mercador a mitad de tiempo! íLe no han visto de nuevo (o otra vez)! Me pregunto, ¿por qué! wink

Hola Feliz: "...hasta que alguién le recordó... que solo era..." Saludos - LuisCache 4 hrs ago

Muchas gracias por tus correcciones, Luis smile

Editor's note: 1.Rac, I hope you will accept my post even though I have adapted the word of the day a little from triumumphant to triumphantLY wink I hope that you will humour my artistic /literary licence!

2 To anybody reading this post, the word *triunfalmente:** is not highlighted because it is a mistake, but simply because it is the Word of the Day! All other words in the text are errors! " wink

Original sentence/s (Spanish version only) :

El nuevo entrenador del equipo fútbol daba saltos y anunciaba triunfalmente: " ¡Hemos ganado, hemos ganado, finalmente hemos ganado!" hasta que alguien le haya recordado (?) con tacto que solo fue el mercador a mitad de tiempo! íLe no han visto de nuevo (o otra vez)! Me pregunto, ¿por qué!

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor smile
