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.

Examples:


1: Ese gatito atigrado es un fold escocés.

That tabby kitten is a Scottish fold.

2: Los boxers suelen tener el pelo corto y atigrado.

Boxers tend to have short, striped coats.


People sometimes call the average domestic cat a Tabby, but tabby is not a cat breed it is actually the pattern of kitty’s coat. And it happens to be the most common of all the feline coat patterns. There are five types of tabby coat patterns, each possessing its own unique markings. I've listed two below.


Orange Tabby

Cuando tiene exceso de peso no es bueno usar ropa que son atigrado.

Pero me gusto ver una mujer quién es atigrado como una tigre .

When you are overweight it is not good to wear clothes that are striped .

But I like to see a woman who is striped like a tiger.

Now, some may be wondering why such a focus on plus sizes. It's because...oh wait a minute I have to finish my hamburger...I'll be back. - Sassette, Apr 8, 2017
OK, I'm back. Ohhhh, wait. I've got to finish my milkshake and fries. - Sassette, Apr 8, 2017
It's because I'm plus size. Got to run to the store to pick up some potato chips. lol - Sassette, Apr 8, 2017
Bad girl. lol - rac1, Apr 8, 2017
Good post mate. Tests have shown that horizontal stripes give the impression of thinness more that the vertical . - ray76, Apr 8, 2017
The blue dress is badly cut the stripes are not aligned properly , a no no in the rag trade. - ray76, Apr 8, 2017
Smurfett needs to get some stripe action going down :-)! - Jraider, Apr 8, 2017
Gracias, amigos. @ray you're right about stripes not being aligned. @crazy cat Smurfette may like stripes @rac1 Indeed, I'm a bad girl! - Sassette, Apr 8, 2017
She looks beautiful anyway. I remember once getting bored at a concert and entertaining myself by judging whether the horizontal stripes on one performer made him look wider than the others, who were wearing horizontal stripes. They didn't. - AnnRon, Apr 8, 2017
Thanks for your insight, Ann. The field of fashion is an interesting one which I don't know much about. I'm sure there's some general rules and some disagreements. - Sassette, Apr 8, 2017

En ciertos entornos el camuflaje atigrado del tigre funciona muy bien, pero al menos algunos biólogos dicen que las rayas blancas de la cebra no existen para el camuflaje, y que tenemos que buscar otras ideas para explicarlas.

In certain environments the striped camouflage of the tiger functions very well, but at least some biologists say that the white stripes of the zebra don't exist for camouflage, and that we have to seek other ideas to explain them.

I hope they didn't breed him black and white. - rac1, Apr 8, 2017
White tigers are actually a variation of the Bengal tiger and not the Siberian tiger, and hence the picture really is false advertising. :) - bosquederoble, Apr 8, 2017
I think I read somewhere that no two zebras have identical stripe patterns :-)! - Jraider, Apr 8, 2017
I actually thought someone might argue with my saying the zebra has white stripes. - bosquederoble, Apr 8, 2017
https://www.scienceabc.com/nature/animals/what-color-zebras-black-white-stripes-white-black-stripes.html Zebra embryos are completely black. The white stripes appear during the last embryonic stage. - bosquederoble, Apr 8, 2017

A mi opinión, más interesante y bonitas ropas atigradas son las ropas con rayas que vemos en animals,el tigre, la jirafa, la cebra, y el gato, etc.

In my opinion the most interesting and pretty striped clothes are clothes with stripes we see in animals, tigers, giraffes, zebras and cats, etc.enter image description here

Yes, at the risk of offending fanciers, I admit that the bottom one would give me nightmares. Looks like something Dr. Frankenstein might have created. - AnnRon, Apr 8, 2017

I was just going to say it reminds me of a tasmanian devil. - rac1, Apr 8, 2017
Looks aren't everything :-)! - Jraider, Apr 8, 2017
Isn't the bottom one a lynx or something. It's not a domestic house cat. - Daniela2041, Apr 9, 2017
