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.

Siempre es posible encontrar algo con el pie cuando vago ciegamente por la casa en la oscuridad de la mañana antes de la salida del sol y de que mi esposa se despierte, pero por lo menos mi esposa ha traslado el banco lleno de osos de peluche que solía enviar volando con frecuencia.

It is always possible to find something with my foot when I wander blindly through the house in the darkness of the morning before the sun rises and before my wife awakens, but at least my wife has moved the bench full of stuffed bears that I used to send flying frequently.

Good one. - Nickelbackfan1, Feb 8, 2017
Thanks, Nickelback. It means a lot coming from you. I'm hooked on this song. I've listened to it probably over 20 times already. - Sassette, Feb 8, 2017
Did you do the graphics here? Outstanding!! - rac1, Feb 8, 2017
Haha you too I thought I was the only one. - Nickelbackfan1, Feb 8, 2017
Yes, these are my graphics. I even drew the gears in Illustrator and animated it in Photoshop. The gears will be used again in a future project someday as they are a symbol of the working of our minds. - Sassette, Feb 8, 2017
Thanks for all the compliments...and thanks to Nickelback for its awesome video and message. - Sassette, Feb 8, 2017
Good video and song :-)! - Jraider, Feb 9, 2017

Sin genuinos hechos y buen comprensión hacemos decisiones ciegamente. Necesitamos la ciencia y la educación.

Without genuine facts and good understanding we make decisions blindly. We need science and education.

Amen to that, Jenny. - AnnRon, Feb 8, 2017
Yep. We seem to be moving away from that with the approval of many people for reasons I don't understand. - Sassette, Feb 8, 2017
And so many seem to be the blind leading the blind. Good post, Jenny. :) - rac1, Feb 9, 2017
