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.

Es curioso. Se puede tener carne jugoso jugosa, chisme jugoso, y libros jugosos, pero no se puede tener agua jugosa.

It's funny. You can have juicy meat, juicy gossip, and juicy books, but you can't have juicy water.

=) Typo "carne jugosa" Es cierto Jajajaja!!! - 00376109, Jul 28, 2017
No typo Coffee, a recurring error. I always think meat should be masculine for some reason :) Gracias. - jellonz, Jul 28, 2017
Me too Jellonz lol - strange! - billygoat, Jul 28, 2017

It is odd Billy - "el carne" just feels right to me, but I'll remember "la carne" from now on :) - jellonz, Jul 29, 2017

Esta oportunidad es una en un millón. Debemos sacar ventaja de ello y sacarle el jugo. Te lo digo, si decidimos ahora, las ganancias serán jugosas.

This opportunity is one in a million. we have to take advantage of it and squeeze it all. I am telling you, if we decide now, the revenue will be juicy.

Sounds good to me, amigo. :) - rac1, Jul 27, 2017
Hola Nelson. I'd go with "squeeze it dry." The word "revenue" is fine, but less formal options would be: Return; profit; takings. - jellonz, Jul 28, 2017
Revenue sounds perfect to me. - rac1, Jul 28, 2017
Yep, it's absolutely fine Amber, but "juicy" is a very colloquial usage in this sense, whereas "revenue" is not. - jellonz, Jul 28, 2017
Typo: just capitalize the "w" in "we have to take..." :) - Sassette, Jul 28, 2017
Please forgive me lol, I'm trying to learn from your Spanish.... shouldn't that be ... Debemos sacar ventaja de ellA (because you are talking about la oportunidad)? - billygoat, Jul 28, 2017
Your English sounds perfect to me. - billygoat, Jul 28, 2017
neeeeeeeeeeeelson!!! un placer verte espero que todo vaya bien en tu vida, guapo - 006595c6, Jul 28, 2017
No billy, this would be like we should take advantage of the whole thing....I would have used esto, ello también - 006595c6, Jul 28, 2017
Ah I get it now! Thank you Heidita. - billygoat, Jul 28, 2017
You're a good man, Charlie Brown. :) - rac1, Jul 28, 2017

Cuando era joven, algunos melocotones eran tan jugosos que el jugo corrió por el brazo cuando lo mordía.

When I was young, some peaches were so juicy that the juice ran down your arm when you bit into it.

We females own the Spanish word ansia so I think you might need to either get our permission to use the word first or add an "a" to "un" before ansia so that it matches. :) - Sassette, Jul 28, 2017
Oh that does look good! - rac1, Jul 28, 2017

Acabamos de recoger algunos arándanos azules jugosos del jardín para hacer magdalenas en la mañana antes de que vayamos a la playa para la reunión familiar de mi esposa. Estaremos allí hasta el domingo, pero sí, hay Internet.

We just finished picking some juicy blueberries from the garden in order to make muffins in the morning before we head out to the beach for my wife's family reunion. We will be there until Sunday, but yes there is Internet.

I have an orange every morning, not orange juice which is pictured. I like juice better but it's more nutritious to have an orange...unless I use my juicer and juice it myself. - Sassette, Jul 28, 2017
In Spain they sqeeze the whole orange or oranges right in site of you so that you can see that you are getting pure orange juice and boy are they good . - ray76, Jul 28, 2017
