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.

Me gusta cuando hace calor en el verano, pero no en los días en que el calor abrasador es un asesino.

I like it when it's hot in the summer, but not the days when the scorching heat is a killer.

You know what I hate? When you walk outside without shoes and you learn how sorching hot the asphalt is.

Este perro es muy inteligente, porque bajo un sol abrazado sólo el hielo puede ayudar algo.

This dog is very intelligent, because under a burning sun only the ice can help.

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding your sentence, but "help something" sounds a strange. I believe "algo" also means "some" as in "a little bit" and that's the meaning you want. "... only the ice can help a little." - zuuzuuluu, Jun 7, 2017
Good post Kat, no need for the word "something" just finish with help. - ray76, Jun 7, 2017

Adding to Zuu and Ray: US English you could conclude the sentence with "some" but it may be considered colloquial. In Brit. English you can use "somewhat." - jellonz, Jun 7, 2017
# Zulu, the sentence is" under a burning sun O N L Y the ice can help ". There is nothing more to say , that is definitive. - ray76, Jun 8, 2017
Gracias amigos - porcupine7, Jun 8, 2017
@ray The placement of 'only' matters in English. '*only the *ice can help,' = nothing else besides ice could help. The 'only' has no affect on 'help.' If it were 'the ice can *only *help,' then it would be modifying 'help.' Also, 'puede ayudar *algo.' I'm - zuuzuuluu, Jun 8, 2017
A Zululu , it is a dog there is no shade so for him the only help that there is is the ice ,you could add more but it is superfluous and unnecessary in a simple sentence when all is understood. - ray76, Jun 8, 2017
............ under the burning sun only ice helps. or simply ..... under the burning sun ice helps.. - ian-hill, Jun 8, 2017

I couldn't fix the image, or am I the only one that can't see it? - rac1, Jun 7, 2017
It was the space problem again Amber. I edited in a tinyurl version. Hope you don't mind Ann. - jellonz, Jun 7, 2017
I can see it. Maybe jellonz fixed it for me. :-) - AnnRon, Jun 7, 2017

I don't see it. - rac1, Jun 7, 2017
It's an odd one Ann. When you post a pic with spaces or _ or % it seems to show up fine in SD's preview screen, and sometimes in the actual post, but if you refresh or anybody else tries to see it it won't work. - jellonz, Jun 7, 2017
I knew about the spaces but not the %. Thanks for telling me that. BTW, I still see it. - AnnRon, Jun 7, 2017
AnnRon, is that the photo you want to display that jellonz edited? - NKM1974, Jun 7, 2017

Tengo un dolor abrasador a veces cerca del omóplato izquierdo que se difunda por el codo de ese lado- espero que desaparezca pronto para que no tenga que tener una inyección en el cuello.

I have a searing pain sometimes near my left scapula that radiates down through my elbow on that side- I hope that it lets up soon so that I don't have to have an injection in the neck.

Chiles toreados are my new favorite Mexican food. The chiles are sautéed in oil until the chiles are blistered and scorching hot.
