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.

Note:

Yesterday's word ("erizo") and today's word are related!

Ann: I think you should use parecer here instead of aparecer. Check the SD dictionary for each :) Have a vote - DilKen, Apr 26, 2017
I've never really thought about it, but now I'm wondering more about them. :) - rac1, Apr 26, 2017
A vote for the cute little guy :-)!~ - Jraider, Apr 26, 2017
"Pueden ser bastante adorables" instead of "Pueden estar bastante adorables" - DoctorSpanish, Apr 26, 2017
Doc, I was thinking that "pueden" put it in the category of a condition rather than a characteristic. No? - AnnRon, Apr 26, 2017
Thanks, Ken. I get those two confused. - AnnRon, Apr 26, 2017

'I have curly hair' no a. BrisTly - typo. But spiky is better for human hair. - Mardle, Apr 26, 2017
Thanks Mardle - porcupine7, Apr 26, 2017
Thanks Mardel. :) Porcu, is this a smurf? :) - rac1, Apr 26, 2017
I made a big typo: "Mardle" Sorry about that. - rac1, Apr 26, 2017
These were very popular years ago, now they are making a comeback :-)! - Jraider, Apr 26, 2017
It is not a smurf, but a doll as Jraider knows very well - porcupine7, Apr 27, 2017
Though I said spiky is better for human hair you could refer to a man's stubble as feeling bristly [from his beard] - Mardle, Apr 27, 2017

"esta renombrado por..." is incorrect. You should use 1 of the following 2: "es famoso por.." or "se conoce por..." - Raff75, Apr 26, 2017

Los comentarios de algunas personas pueden parecer erizados, pero están sólo siendo graciosos.

Debemos darles el beneficio de la duda.

The comments of some people may appear bristly , but they are just being funny.

We must give them the benefit of the doubt.

Mi primo tuvo el pelo erizado siempre cuando eramos pequeños y un día el maestro culpaba por una gran error en escuela. De ese tiempo, no me gusta el pelo erizado

My cousin had spiky hair always when we were child and one day the teacher blamed him for the great mistake in the school. From that time, I don't like the spiky hair.
