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.

Los tamaños de equipaje de mano tienen condiciones estrictas y si no les respetamos debemos pagar una multa.

Hand luggage sizes have strict conditions and if we do not respect them we must pay a fine.

Mi solo único equipaje de mano es un pitufo grande.

My only carry-on luggage is a big Smurf.

Thanks for the correction, Heidita smile

Es absolutamente esencial que el equipaje de mano es menos de un cierto tamaño y peso sea por debajo de cierto peso y tamaño.

It's absolutely essential that carry-on luggage is under a certain size and weight.

sea por debajo de cierto peso y tamaño. , tell me about it! I travel all the time! - 006595c6, Aug 3, 2017
I am confused why ser is in the subjunctive here (sea). - Sassette, Aug 3, 2017
Sass - I think...using 'es' is 'stating' that it I S under a certain size,whereas the subjunctive 'sea' is like saying 'BE' under a certain size etc. - billygoat, Aug 3, 2017
How funny! lol - rac1, Aug 3, 2017
:-)! - Jraider, Aug 3, 2017
@billygoat. Okay, I think see what you're saying. - Sassette, Aug 3, 2017
Gracias Heidi. Was "menos de" incorrect here, or is "por debajo de" just better? - jellonz, Aug 3, 2017
Many thanks Billy. I immediately had the same question as Sassy. Thanks for clarifying with an example of the English subjunctive. - jellonz, Aug 3, 2017
Btw, I'm guessing Heidi's reversal of "peso" y "tamaño" is just because that is the order normal in Spanish. Like how they say "blanco y negro" but we say "black and white"? - jellonz, Aug 3, 2017

La última vez que viajé a México, he apredido aprendí que es mas fácil tomar sólo **llevar una sola ** bolsa de equipaje a mano.

The last time that I travelled to Mexico I learned that it is much easier to take only one bag of carry-on luggage.

Oh dear, how dreadful. Lol Missy. :) - rac1, Aug 3, 2017
Hola Raider! Isn't Mexico a bit dangerous these days? - billygoat, Aug 3, 2017
I went to Cabo San Lucas billy, and we didn't have any problems, except for going through Mexican customs with too much luggage ;-)! - Jraider, Aug 3, 2017
aprendí que es ...llevar una sola bolsa ...good one, oh yes, so true...those queuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuues, I've been there twice - 006595c6, Aug 3, 2017

Cuando voy de vacaciones con mis amigotes ellos siempre se llevan equipaje facturado, pero yo no. Prefiero solo llevarme equipaje de mano. Así, me evito el lío de hacer cola en el mostrador de facturación, además, ¡llego al bar primero! grin

When I go on holiday with my mates they always take check-in luggage, but I don't. I prefer to just take hand luggage. That way I avoid the hassle of queuing up at the check-in desk and I get to the bar first!

I like to travel light! Swimming trunks, sock, sandals and of course a handkerchief for my head ; - billygoat, Aug 3, 2017
that's it, nothing else.............. it can get a bit cold at night though ;) :P - billygoat, Aug 3, 2017
At least you get to avoid those lines. I know what you mean. :) - rac1, Aug 3, 2017
I learned the hard way :-)! - Jraider, Aug 3, 2017
I usually have some liquid more than the limit. - Mardle, Aug 3, 2017
just buy cheapo when you get over there Pat, then bin it before coming back home - billygoat, Aug 3, 2017
I'm with you Billy. I once did 5 weeks in S.E.Asia out of my day pack. The less possessions you have to worry about the better in my opinion. So why do I spend so much time trying to collect them now? Hmmn. Perhaps I need to be more like Diogenes :) - jellonz, Aug 3, 2017
I also collect miniature soaps/shampoos etc from hotels too. I just have the head of a toothbrush and sampler toothpaste too. My toilet bag is actually a plastic soap case - everything fits in there! - billygoat, Aug 3, 2017
wow, no solo has usado la palabra nueva, amigote, jeje, sino que el resto también es perfecto...impresionadita me tienes!! - 006595c6, Aug 3, 2017
muchas gracias amiga mía. I learn like a baby. I listen intently to what you guys say, they copy you - it;s simple :) - billygoat, Aug 3, 2017
then copy you, I meant..... my fingers are rubbish at typing jejeje - billygoat, Aug 3, 2017

A carry-on luggage with a lock is a deterrent to thieves. Un equipaje de mano con cerradura candado es un disuasivo para ladrones.

You're right. It is at least something we can do. :) - rac1, Aug 3, 2017
Yes, that way they just steal the entire bag! - Echoline, Aug 3, 2017
Just don't lose the key :-)! - Jraider, Aug 3, 2017
con candado...good one, but then you have to remember the numbers....I threw my lock away, jeje - 006595c6, Aug 3, 2017
Gracias por la corrección. Me refiero a la cerradura de combinación. - NKM1974, Aug 3, 2017

Cuando viajamos en avión, debido a que a mi esposa le gusta llevar demasiado, siempre llena su equipaje facturado hasta el límite de peso y quiere usar equipaje de mano tan grande como posible, y por eso tenemos que tratar de embarcarnos temprano para asegurarnos que haya espacio para guardarlo.

When we travel on an airplane, because my wife always likes to take too much she always fills her checked baggage up to the weight limit and wants to use carry-ons as big as possible, and so we have to try to get on the plane early to ensure that there is space to put it.

Well one of those gals anyway. She gets mad when I tell her I do not understand why she needs thirteen pairs of shoes for seven days. - bosquederoble, Aug 3, 2017
Exactly. What's too much to you may not be too much to her. - Sassette, Aug 3, 2017
Sassy'' right. lol - rac1, Aug 3, 2017
I'm sure our wives believe half of our luggage space belongs to them Bosque. I once took my golf clubs instead of a suitcase and just stuffed some clothes in the golf bag. Yeah ... that didn't go down so well. - jellonz, Aug 3, 2017
muy bueno, bosque, perfecto :) - 006595c6, Aug 3, 2017
más coloquial: le gusta llevar todo lo que puede, le gusta llenar la bolsa hasta arriba... - 006595c6, Aug 3, 2017

Para mí, viajar en avion es una pesadilla. Por lo menos, si solamente tengo equipaje de mano, es un poco menos horrible.

For me, air travel is a nightmare. At least if I only have carry-on luggage it is a bit less horrible.

El equipaje de mano en las aerolíneas locales en el sudeste de Asia puede ser enormes paquetes, Y los pusieron en el primer armario superior que ven.

Hand luggage on local airlines in Southeast Asia can be huge packages, And they put them in the first overhead bin they see.
