noun ( requirement, requisite )

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.

Hola amiga. Happy hump day. :) - rac1, Jan 25, 2017

Have an idea: replace voting on games with participation points. If you play a game you get points. Focus is on participation and everyone feels equally valued on SD. Makes sense and is fair. :) - Sassette, Jan 25, 2017

...voting doesn't reflect how much an entry is viewed. There is a count of how many people view the games. It doesn't tell the whole story but its the best info to address concerns of how many view our entries. - Sassette, Jan 25, 2017

...any opinions? If so. please share. I may send my idea to feedback unless someone convinces me otherwise. Thanks! :) - Sassette, Jan 25, 2017

Thanks chico. :) - rac1, Jan 25, 2017

Hola Sassy. I think members like the voting, but you should feel valued and accepted regardless. We love you! ♥ - rac1, Jan 25, 2017

Thanks for your input, Ambette. I still might pass it along to feedback. I would agree that if members generally like voting then that should always be considered. - Sassette, Jan 25, 2017

I try to remember to vote because I have noticed that people want that, but personally I don't care about votes at all. I like it if people comment, particularly if they can correct my Spanish.. Collecting points seems irrelevant to why I am here. - jennysk, Jan 25, 2017

Yes, you're correct, Jenny. We are hear to learn a language and that's what's important. - rac1, Jan 26, 2017

Thanks for your input, Jenny. I kind of recall that this was your position on things. - Sassette, Jan 26, 2017

I understand if others feel differently. I will go along with whatever! - jennysk, Jan 26, 2017

Se solicita contador público certificado con al menos tres años de experiencia en el área financiera y dominio completo de Excel avanzado. Inútil presentarse si no cumple con los requisitos.

We are hiring a Certified Public Accountant with at least three years of experience in the finance area and mastery of advanced Excel. Do not apply if you don't meet the requirements.

Typo- Public, not Publica. Dominio does not equate to domain in that context. Mastery might be a good option, others may have a better suggestion. :) - bosquederoble, Jan 26, 2017
