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.

Answer 3

Ser viejo es más fácil cuando todavía estás siendo juguetón y feliz.

Being old is easier when you are still being playful and happy.

You know why you're still able bodied and on the go? It's because you don't think about being old, just being you, fun loving and good natured. :) - rac1, Apr 23, 2017

Ray: The English is fine, of course, but in Spanish I would say: Ser viejo es más fácil cuando todavía son juguetón y feliz. I don't think estar siendo is used very much in Spanish. :) - DilKen, Apr 23, 2017

And yes, it is fine to use ser instead of estar with both of these adjectives. They are characteristics of people. One can also use them with estar when someone is being particularly playful or happy but isn't usually. :) - DilKen, Apr 23, 2017
