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.

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.

Answer 1

Me he convertida (perhaps me he vuelto) muy briosa en anticipación de la nueva peli de Pitufo que se estrenará más tarde esta semana.

I have become very spirited in anticipation of the new Smurf movie that will be released later this week.

Thanks for suggestion, Ken.

I can believe that mate . lol.;) - ray76, Apr 2, 2017

You have that childlike spirit. Never lose it. ♥ - rac1, Apr 2, 2017

I always thought of myself that way...thanks, Ambette! - Sassette, Apr 2, 2017

Thanks, Ray. :) - Sassette, Apr 2, 2017

Missy: It think "convertirse en" is only followed by nouns. Check the dictionary. I think you should say me he vuelto + adjective(s) as you have here. - DilKen, Apr 2, 2017

I read about it in the paper today and thought of you. :) - bosquederoble, Apr 2, 2017

Thanks for the Smurfy thoughts of me, bosque. :) - Sassette, Apr 2, 2017

Answer 2

Kincsem (el húngaro para "My Precious" o "Mi tesoro") fue el caballo de raza pura sangre más exitoso y brioso de todos los tiempos, habiendo ganado 54 carreras por 54 aperturas. A finales del siglo 19. ella era un icono nacional, y era venerada en otras partes del mundo, también. Durante cuatro temporadas ganó todas sus carreras contra las dos compañías femeninas y masculinas en varias pistas de carreras en toda Europa, un récord todavía invicto. Este año hicieron una película sobre ella y su dueño

Kincsem (Hungarian pronunciation: [?kint???m]; Hungarian for "My Precious" or "My Treasure"; March 17, 1874– March 17, 1887) was the most successful and spirited Thoroughbred race horse ever, having won 54 races for 54 starts. In the end of the 19th century, she was a national icon, and is revered in other parts of the world, too. Over four seasons she won all her races against both female and male company at various race tracks across Europe, a record still unbeaten. This year they made a film about her and her owner

Su inglés es perfecto Kat, bien hecho! I never knew that and we are mad about horse racing in Victoria , have you heard about our "Phar Lap" that the Yanks killed ? - ray76, Apr 2, 2017

I'm with Ray on that one. Oh, I've heard of Phar Lap. :):) - rac1, Apr 2, 2017

No I haven't, but immediately I shall look into its history on Wikipedia - porcupine7, Apr 2, 2017

Nice entry. Makes me think of Annierats who is a big horse racing fan. - Sassette, Apr 2, 2017

Me too, Sassy. I miss her a lot. - rac1, Apr 3, 2017

Answer 3

Soy muy afortunado porque generalmente estoy brioso y feliz.

I am lucky because I am usually lively and happy.

Ray, I think you need an estoy before brioso y feliz. If you take out generalmente, you could use another soy...but that would be boring, right? Vote from me. - DilKen, Apr 2, 2017

Love the picture. :) - rac1, Apr 2, 2017

Now I'm confused as to which picture is of you. lol - Sassette, Apr 2, 2017

It is this one without my 'makeup' sassette . - ray76, Apr 2, 2017

lol - Sassette, Apr 2, 2017

Don´t you get hot in the summer? - mstivers, Apr 2, 2017

@ Ken, Thanks mate, I did use the soy before brioso and thought as you did so took it out but forgot to replace it . Thanks so much mate. - ray76, Apr 3, 2017

Answer 4

Is this guy spirited?

¿Es este tipo brioso?

No, but he's full of spirits. lol - rac1, Apr 2, 2017

He's also very limber. - mstivers, Apr 2, 2017

:) - Sassette, Apr 2, 2017

Answer 5

La penitenciaría te derrotará, por muy briosa que te creas.

The penitentiary will beat you down, no matter how spirited you think you are.

Es broma, cariña. ¡Anímate!

Just kidding, babe. Cheer up!

Y no te preocupes por mí. Tu hermana está tratándome muy bien.

And don't worry about me. Your sister is treating me very well.

Nice one mate! - ray76, Apr 2, 2017

She looks thin enough to get through those bars. :) - rac1, Apr 2, 2017

I find this humorous though maybe I shouldn't be smiling. The babe doesn't look too happy. - Sassette, Apr 2, 2017

Look out when she gets out! - AnnRon, Apr 2, 2017

Answer 6

Una bandada briosa de chinitos está proclamando afanosamente la primavera fuera de mi ventana

A lively flock of cedar waxwings is busily heralding spring outside my window.

Wow! The certainly are. :) - rac1, Apr 2, 2017

That isn't my flock. I have a good close-up shot of a single bird, but I can't seem to upload my own pictures. - AnnRon, Apr 2, 2017

I know, I have a problem with that too. I have a typo again. They......doh - rac1, Apr 2, 2017

Answer 7

Cuando la música se estaba jug tocando se convirtieron en briosos compañeros de baile.

Ver El Sombrero Blanco ? con Catherine Zeta-Jones y Antonio Banderas (3 min.: - )

When the music was playing they became spirited dance partners.

I can just imagine. :) - rac1, Apr 2, 2017

Nice to see an entry from you, Esteban! I may be missing the point here but I never thought jugar was used in the sense of playing music. I think of jugar as playing sports or a board game or something like that. - Sassette, Apr 2, 2017

I think of dance as a physical activity which influenced me to think jugar, but you are right when thinking of music it's tocar - thanks for the alert to help me ponder editing the post. - Esteban_317, Apr 2, 2017

My mind clearly was else where - thanks Sasette for the gentle edit pls. comments - here's the URL to an SD forum conversation with a similar theme; http://www.spanishdict.com/answers/172089/how-do-you-say-to-play-as-in-play-that-song-from-your-ipod - Esteban_317, Apr 2, 2017

I think that the lady is our Daniela. - ray76, Apr 2, 2017

You're welcome and thanks for link which gives me a better idea of what word use for play in playing music. - Sassette, Apr 2, 2017

Unfortunately, I don't think tocar works in this situation. People, instruments or radios tocar música. I was hoping that tocarse could be used...the music was playing itself, but I found no evidence of this. - DilKen, Apr 2, 2017

From the SD dictionary: Soft music was playing in the background.De fondo sonaba una música suave. - DilKen, Apr 2, 2017

Or, possibly, you could turn this into a se passive construction by just inserting "se" before estaba. (Some unknown person or equipment was playing music ...) - DilKen, Apr 2, 2017

Ah - I think you've hit on just the ticket Ken- with the passive - thank you for not being "passive" in helping find a better way to construct the sentence. :-) ... - Esteban_317, Apr 2, 2017

Answer 8

The high-spirited man was aghast as he watched his best friend lay out his cards and win the poker game.

El hombre brioso alto fue horrorizado al ver su mejor amigo pone hacia fuera sus tarjetas y ganar el juego de poker.

Good sentence Matjam! - rac1, Apr 2, 2017

Matjam: with multiple adjectives in Spanish I don't think you can just string them together like we do in English. Either alto hombre brioso or hombre brioso Y alto would work I think. - DilKen, Apr 2, 2017

Answer 9

Invitamos una amiga briosa de mi esposa a nuestra casa anoche para ver un partido brioso de básquetbol, pero después nuestros ánimos no estaban tan alegres, y sí, luego los Trailblazers venció a los Suns, pero la verdad es que eso no fue un partido tan brioso.

We in invited a lively friend of my wife's to our house last night to watch a spirited game of basketball, but afterwards our moods were not as cheerful, and yes later the Trailblaizers beat the Suns, but the truth is that that was not as lively a game.

I like watching the lively games too, even though I do want my team to win. :) - rac1, Apr 2, 2017

Between Gonzaga and North Carolina, of course I am going for Gonzaga. I was hoping for an all Northwest Final though. :) - bosquederoble, Apr 2, 2017

I was rooting for Oregan. Oh, well. :( - Sassette, Apr 2, 2017

@sassette , you have no idea what your comment sounds like down here , super risque - ray76, Apr 3, 2017

Answer 10

Salsa es un stilo brioso de música.

Salsa is a spirited style of music.

Can you dance it? :) - rac1, Apr 2, 2017

I have taken a salsa lesson. Fun but very difficult. I was reading the Wikipedia page on salsa and was surprised to learn that it arose in New York City, not Cuba. - mstivers, Apr 2, 2017

Really? That's interesting. - rac1, Apr 2, 2017

Yes. It was created by Cuban and Puerto Rican immigrants. - mstivers, Apr 2, 2017

But to finish the answer, I don't dance well, but I can play some of the piano parts (which are called montunos) - mstivers, Apr 3, 2017
