lúcido ( loo'-see-doh )

adjective ( lucid, clear-headed )


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.

Si quiere ser elegido por una coalición de personas que no están de acuerdo en los asuntos el uno al otro, un político listo siempre sabe que no debe proponer ideas demasiadas lúcidas para que la gente no se dé cuenta de por lo que está por votar.

If they want to be elected by a coalition of people that are not in agreement on the issues with each other, a smart politician always knows that he must not put forth ideas that are too lucid so that the people do not realize what they are about to vote for.

Espero que las votantes pueden ser lúcidas cuando llega el tiempo para votar para el Presidente de los Estados Unidos, porque el resultado va a afectar todo el mundo, no solamente los americanos. Sería bueno tener un lider que no empieza más guerras.

I hope that the voters can be clear-headed when the time comes to vote for the President of the United States, because the result will affect the whole world, not just the Americans. It would be good to have a leader who doesn't start more wars
