La Palabra Del Día "yermo"

Question

yermo ( YEHR-moh )

(adjective) uninhabited; barren

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 speakers 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.

How to post a picture

Examples:

1: Parece yermo este lugar, pero en realidad está lleno de especias desérticas.

This place appears uninhabited, but it is actually full of desert species.

2: Vámonos de esta tierra yerma y olvidada de Dios.

Let us leave this barren, godforsaken land.

SD had a thread a while back with "yermo" in it or maybe "desierto" or something like that. I posted some pictures of Yermo, CA. there as well. - Daniela2041, Mar 29, 2017

Hola amigos. Doing good, guapo. :):) - rac1, Mar 29, 2017

I looked at it, Sassy and left some comments for clarification. Here, on this thread, I don't just go by the one that has the most votes, but how the word is used. I do have to look at the voting though because it's the members that actually choose the - rac1, Mar 29, 2017

best answers by your votes. I hope everyone can understand now a little better. - rac1, Mar 29, 2017

I still enjoy the thread even though I rarely am able to post anymore. - katydew, Mar 29, 2017

Hi, Ambette. The members are the ones that determine the voting. Sometimes a best answer may be selected. I'm only saying that some people besides myself don't like voting. - Sassette, Mar 29, 2017

I brought it to your attention because I believe the mods can make changes though I admit chances are low that anything will change. I'm just saying that I now know I'm not the only one that is uncomfortable with voting. - Sassette, Mar 29, 2017

Thanks Katy. That means a lot to me. :) - rac1, Mar 29, 2017

I know, Sassy...I had just looked at the thread you gave me the address for and was just making the statement here as well to clarify to others. I know you already know that. jeje The mods can't make those changes though, that's up to the admins. :) - rac1, Mar 29, 2017
