hinchado ( een-CHAH-doh )

(adjective) swollen, puffy


Welcome to La Palabra Del Día

enter image description here


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: Tengo los ojos hinchados porque no pegué ojo en toda la noche.

My eyes are puffy because I didn't sleep a wink last night.

2: La paloma tienen la barriga hinchada por comer tanto arroz.

The pigeon's belly is swollen from eating so much rice.

Busqué ramas hinchadas en mi limón, porque esto significa que una avispa gall ha infectado el árbol.

I looked for swollen branches in my lemon tree because this means that a gall wasp has infected the tree.


Amazing coincidence jut 10 minutes ago I was cutting out infected branches from my lemon and lime trees.

What happens next? Do those branches die out? - rac1, May 19, 2017
It's vexing mate, but it's also the nature of our planet ;-)! - Jraider, May 19, 2017
Amber , the tree just gets stunted and the fruit is useless , the problem is that the wasp is a local variety that the imported lemon citrus trees have no immunity to , my lime tree withstands it much better than the lemon. - ray76, May 20, 2017
Yes J R We have to live with it not against it , thanks mate.Oh there are indigenous limes and lemons but they are tiny and expensive to get . - ray76, May 20, 2017

"Van a haber" for "there are going to be (plural)"? - jellonz, May 19, 2017
That looks pretty bad. - rac1, May 19, 2017
Jellonz: I'm not sure, but in other cases, when haber is used for "there is" or "there are" it is 3rd P singular - hay or había. I would guess va a haber is more correct. :) - DilKen, May 19, 2017
I was expecting that. Today's pics were probably not going to be tasty food and models lol - Sassette, May 19, 2017
Jeje! I proved you wrong Missy :-)! - Jraider, May 19, 2017
Thanks Ken. I tossed that one back and forward. I'll go with yours :) - jellonz, May 19, 2017
A little prednisone would heal that in a few days. - Daniela2041, May 20, 2017

Hmmm they look just like beignets without the powdered sugar. Now I'm hungry. - rac1, May 19, 2017
I love sopapillas. - Daniela2041, May 19, 2017
I call them "soapy pillows", but they don't taste like soap :-)! - Jraider, May 19, 2017
You proved me wrong and found tasty food today. :) - Sassette, May 19, 2017
They are also made in India and throughout the middle east and south east Asia. - ray76, May 20, 2017

Se pueden usar los sanguijuelas para ayudar con un dedo hinchado después de reimplantarlo después de una amputación traumático.

Leeches can be used to help with a swollen digit after reattaching it after a traumatic amputation.

Bosque: I just looked at the picture. I understand why you provided it as a link. :) If anyone has just eaten, I recommend not looking at it :( - DilKen, May 19, 2017
Nah, I'll pass. lol - rac1, May 19, 2017
Good choice Amber. You are quite delicate. :) - DilKen, May 19, 2017
Wierd. Now that I've clicked on it, it shows up automatically in the post. I wish I could get rid of it :( - DilKen, May 19, 2017
I restored it to just being a link. :) - bosquederoble, May 19, 2017
Gracias amigo. No voy a clicarlo de nuevo ) - DilKen, May 19, 2017
It's OK now. I took a look at the link, and when I got back there was no problem. I thinks that those leeches are amazing. How do the do it. - Daniela2041, May 19, 2017
We still need to find some use for mosquitoes. :( - bosquederoble, May 19, 2017
I'm glad you linked it. I'm thinking of viewing it but I may decide not to. - Sassette, May 19, 2017
It is a had with healing wounds where several severed fingers were attached, and leeches keeping the blood from accumulating. :) - bosquederoble, May 19, 2017
I am the one that fixed the image to show here. Sorry, I thought that's what you wanted. :) - rac1, May 19, 2017
Thanks, but I purposely did not show it so anyone who chose not to look at didn't have to see it. It is kind of gross for some people although some people of course would not be bothered at all. :) - bosquederoble, May 19, 2017

I think you mean "belly", nepal. Then you need "se la" muestro a mi hija. ".....estámuy contenta de ver a su papá gordo. " - Daniela2041, May 19, 2017
Yes, Dani's right...you mean "belly". :) - rac1, May 19, 2017
Fat and happy :-)! - Jraider, May 19, 2017
Big sigh! Here is another reason why I don't like doing corrections. - Daniela2041, May 20, 2017

Aquí en los Estados Unidos, cuanto más hinchado seas eres, el mayor más poder tienes que conseguirás.

Here in the United States, the more conceited you are the more power you will attain.

Thanks so much to Dani and Kenhuizenga for your thoughts and corrections on my Spanish smile

En general Sassette, o en especifico? I think I know the answer :) - jellonz, May 19, 2017
Sure does seem like it. - rac1, May 19, 2017
@jellonz Very good question. When I first wrote this I was thinking specifically but as I thought more about it I feel that it's general because it applies to a number of unrelated issues. I'd rather not get more specific about all of that. - Sassette, May 19, 2017
Thanks, Ambette. :) - Sassette, May 19, 2017
Unfortunately :-(! - Jraider, May 19, 2017
Wow, thanks for all the info, kenhuizenga. I uderstand it, I think. I'll review cuanto. I'm not part of the group because I don't have much to be conceited about. lol - Sassette, May 19, 2017
Sassette: Tienes mucho de lo que tendría ser hinchado. Sólo tú elijes no hacerlo, que es bueno. :) Saludos. - DilKen, May 19, 2017
I have to defend Sassette. She is much closer to being correct than anybody else. To say it properly it goes like this. (I'll put it in the next comment.) - Daniela2041, May 19, 2017
Cuanto más presumido/hinchado eres, más poder tienes - Daniela2041, May 19, 2017
And that usage is impersonal enough. Many familiar adages are stated in the same manner. - Daniela2041, May 19, 2017
OK, I stand corrected. Thanks Dani. I have removed my erroneous comments and have edited Sassette's post to show the changes suggested by Dani. - DilKen, May 20, 2017
On second thought the way you ended it was OK "más poder conseguirás" I didn't realize that the English was different from what I was used to. - Daniela2041, May 20, 2017
I'm really sorry to have made that "lack of observation' mistake. - Daniela2041, May 20, 2017
¡Gracias, Dani y Kenhuizenga! - Sassette, May 20, 2017

I'm not sure about the possessive with "ojos" NKM or the split adjectives. Maybe "tengo los ojos irritados y hinchados" but please leave it as is until someone wiser than me can comment :) - jellonz, May 19, 2017
Jellonz: I think you suggestion is fine. Another alternative: mis ojos están irritados y hinchados. There is no absolute rule against using the possessive with body parts, it is just done less frequently than in English. - DilKen, May 19, 2017
Spring is in the air, literally :-)! - Jraider, May 19, 2017
Jellonz, thank you for your suggestion. - NKM1974, May 19, 2017
