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.

Perhaps they should study human families more closely too Amber. "Little aggression or fights for 'dominance'" certainly doesn't sum up my household :) - jellonz, Apr 4, 2017
Well, for animals I guess it does. The pic. was meant to go with the word of the day. That's all. :) - rac1, Apr 4, 2017
Ironically I think it's still perfectly apt and accurate to describe my family as similar to a wolf pack :) - jellonz, Apr 4, 2017
Hola leader of the pack I shall be back. - ray76, Apr 4, 2017
I'm a bit late on this one princesa. xx - ian-hill, Apr 4, 2017
Yes, I agree and I see what you are saying, Jellonz. :) - rac1, Apr 4, 2017

Wow! I haven't seen this many answers in a while, all the way to a second page. Good job Amby :-)! - Jraider, Apr 4, 2017

Image not showing because of space in address Ray. SD doesn't like them, or space placeholders either that I can see. I've edited in a fix. I'll write a short instructional in the Q+A on how to do this. - jellonz, Apr 4, 2017

Thanks, Ambette and Jraider. I was most curious what Jraider would say. Not surprising. He already mentioned that he would remain a fan. - Sassette, Apr 4, 2017
They are moving closer to him, not further. :) - bosquederoble, Apr 4, 2017

Quiero dar las gracias a Rac1 por colgar la foto sobre las manadas de lobos- había aceptado como la verdad lo de los machos alfa, pero ahora he leído un poco y parece que el concepto está basado en agrupaciones poco naturales en zoológicos- no he leído suficiente para saber la verdad, pero será interesante investigarlo más.

I would like to thank Rac1 for posting the photo about wolf packs, I had accepted as truth the stuff about alpha males, but now I have read a little and it seems that the concept was based on unnatural groupings in zoos- I have not read enough to know the truth, but it will be interesting to investigate it more.

But could still be the Alpha female. - ray76, Apr 4, 2017
That theory is widely used to describe domestic behavior in dogs. Trainers say that a dog owner should act like the Alpha in the pack. - Jraider, Apr 4, 2017
I meant to say behavior in domestic dogs :-)! - Jraider, Apr 4, 2017
De nada, Bosque. I must admit, I was as surprised as you. I'll keep learning as well. :) - rac1, Apr 4, 2017
