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.

Hay un tribu en una isla en el Océano Índico que todavía permanece indomable- la gente resiste cada intento de contactarla y defiende rotundamente su isla. Sin duda el gobierno de la India podría vencer a los Sentineleses si quisiera hacerlo, pero hasta ahora la India prefiere dejarlos en paz y no permite que nadie se acerque a la isla.

There is a tribe on an island in the Indian Ocean that still remains unconquered- the people resist each attempt at contacting them and defend their island vigorously. Without a doubt the government of India could defeat the Sentinelese if they were to want to, but so far India prefers to leave them in peace and does not allow anyone to approach the island.

Ingrid Bergman played the role of Golda Meir in a film called "Golda." She was magnificent. That was her last film -she was dying of cancer. She died shortly after the film was completed. I have a D V D of the film. - Daniela2041, May 26, 2017
