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.

Hola Amber , how few people have learned the art of smiling is a shame. - ray76, Jun 22, 2017
I totally agree with that. - rac1, Jun 22, 2017

I said that . Amazing how so many people are not aware of this Ann. - ray76, Jun 22, 2017
Indeed it does. - rac1, Jun 22, 2017
The gulf stream warms Northern Europe, which is why it is warmer than most locations at that latitude. With global warming there is a possibility that the "conveyor belt" may fail due to absence of the blue return seen in the picture. :) - bosquederoble, Jun 22, 2017
That may lead to paradoxical significant cooling of Northern Europe. Here is what I think is a fair discussion: http://e360.yale.edu/features/will_climate_change_jam_the_global_ocean_conveyor_belt - bosquederoble, Jun 22, 2017

Cuando viajé a Canadá en enero no pude conseguir cálido caiiente excepto en mi cama bajo cien mantas.

Todos los días en Canadá estaba tan fría como un gusano muerto.

No sé por qué estaba en canadá porque amo una país qhe es cálida.

When I traveled to Canada in January I could not get warm except in my bed under a hundred blankets.

Every day in Canada I was as cold as a dead maggot..

I do not know why I was in Canada because I love a country that is warm.

Le gustaba su sopa cálida, pero su madre le gustaba caliente. Cuando la sopa estaba lo suficientemente fría como para él, su madre lo llamó completamente fría. enter image description here He liked his soup warm, but his mother liked it hot. When the soup was cool enough for him, his mother called it "stone cold."

Si se trata de la clima cálido en seguida esta poema me viene a la mente:

When speaking about the warm weather this poem comes to my mind:

enter image description here

Garcia Lorca:La Guitarra

Empieza el llanto

de la guitarra.

Se rompen las copas

de la madrugada.

Empieza el llanto

de la guitarra.

Es inútil

callarla.

Es imposible

callarla.

Llora monótona

como llora el agua,

como llora el viento

sobre la nevada.

Es imposible

callarla.

Llora por cosas

lejanas.

**Arena del Sur caliente

que pide camelias blancas.**

Llora flecha sin blanco,

la tarde sin mañana,

y el primer pájaro muerto

sobre la rama.

¡Oh guitarra!

Corazón malherido

por cinco espadas.

English Translation

The Guitar

The weeping of the guitar begins. The goblets of dawn are smashed. The weeping of the guitar begins. Useless to silence it. Impossible to silence it. It weeps monotonously as water weeps as the wind weeps over snowfields. Impossible to silence it. It weeps for distant things. Hot southern sands yearning for white camellias. Weeps arrow without target evening without morning and the first dead bird on the branch. Oh, guitar! Heart mortally wounded by five swords. english translation: Co

Too cold for me. - rac1, Jun 22, 2017
Are you a wool classer mate ? - ray76, Jun 22, 2017
No mate. Second hand / restoration / re-creation. Our shed was the old grain store so heaps of character, but no comfort :) - jellonz, Jun 22, 2017

Are you familiar with Dante's version of hell. Quite cold (obviously I am referencing the quote in the picture, not what you said). :) - bosquederoble, Jun 22, 2017
I am bosque, but is that just one level, or is there one that is burning hot? - Jraider, Jun 22, 2017
I think they were all cold Jr, and each circle was colder than the last. It's funny how most cultures either have hell as cold (because it lacks life or is far from God's warmth), or hot (because it is a place of damnation and torture). - jellonz, Jun 22, 2017
Speaking of the hot hell, I like the one about the Eskimo who looked up at St. Peter with a longing smile and said "Tell me about hell one more time." - jellonz, Jun 22, 2017
I do too, JR. :) - rac1, Jun 23, 2017

Sí, a los corales les gusta el agua cálida, pero si el agua alcanza una temperatura demasiado cálida (o desarrolla otras condiciones no favorables), los corales expulsan los protozoos fotosintéticos simbióticos que los proporcionan hasta el noventa por ciento de su energía- lo que permite la supervivencia a corto plazo pero resulta en la muerte de hambruna a largo plazo.

Yes, corals like warm water, but if the water reaches too high a temperature (or develops other unfavorable conditions), corals expel the symbiotic photosynthetic protozoans that provide up to ninety percent of their energy- which allows for short term survival but results in death from starvation in the long term.

Tengo mucha suerte en este invierno muy frio porque tenemos un calentador de leña que mantiene una temperatura cálida en la casa. Es fácil conseguir leña aquí, no necesitamos usar la elecricidad para la calefacción.

I am very fortunate this very cold winter because we have a wood heater that maintains a warm temperature in the house. It is easy to get firewood here, we don't need to use electricity for heating.
