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.

Tengo una amiga que me dice que toda clase de cosas locas tiene propiedades curativas, pero casi toda la comida es mala, incluyendo la carne, todos los productos lácteos, los huevos, frijoles, granos, patatas, maíz, tomates, y cruciformes. La lista continua... ¿Qué debo comer?

I have a friend who tells me that all kinds of crazy things have curative properties, but almost all food is bad, including meat, all dairy products, eggs, beans, grains, potatoes, corn, tomatoes, and cruciforms. The list goes on... What am I supposed to eat?

Got it! Thanks! - AnnRon, Jun 25, 2017
Findy, I guess the term more commonly used for them is "cruciferous," so called because their flowers' petals form a cross: brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, kale, etc. - AnnRon, Jun 25, 2017
Oops, the above comment was meant for Heidita, not Findy. - AnnRon, Jun 25, 2017

My wife heard that turmeric could have curative properties, so she tried to use it to cure her psoriasis, but it didn't work, even though the truth is that I am not sure she took enough.
