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.

The cabin crew helped 150 passeners and crew off this plane without a scratch.

Las auxiliares ayudaron a salir de 150 pasajeros y tripulación fuera de este avión sin un rasguño.

24 Trinidad Bolivia Plane and Ericka and Marcelo

Update - The plane was diverted twice due to electric storms in the Andes mountains and ran out of fuel a few kilometres from the airport near Trinidad in the Amazonian state of Beni in Bolivia.

"Most of all" doesn't quite work here Porcu. You'd have to go with something like "the most important of which is to take care..." - jellonz, Aug 6, 2017
Hi amiga. :) I agree with jellonz correction. - rac1, Aug 6, 2017
Nice entry, Porcu. I would have written "cuidar (not preocuparse) a los pasajeros" and left "comodidad" out. But my Spanish isn't very good so maybe your way is better. :) - Sassette, Aug 6, 2017
Gracias amigos - porcupine7, Aug 7, 2017

Trans World Airlines ha contratado una auxiliar de vuelo transgénera transexual. LOL

Trans World Airlines has hired a transgender flight attendant.

Check out the transwoman pictured and other transladies at their real airline in Thailand by pressing on the following: transgender flight attendants hired in Thailand

Thanks for correction, Heidita, but I'm unclear why using transgénera was a mistake . While I think transexual is the better term to use the problem is that the YouTube video said that some of the flight attendants were tranvestites (an outdated term, now considered cross dressers). While I'm guessing they are all really transexuals, transgender is an umbrella term that would include everyone. That's why I used transgénera. smile

The video was somewhat offensive to me, calling these women lady boys and referring to them as a third gender. I was making fun of it all as the world just can't get their head straight over those who are diverse.

Anyway, nobody seems to care as this entry voted poorly. I voted for everyone on today's word of the day. smile

Me parece que el trabajo de un auxiliar de vuelo es muy aburrido por la mayoria del tiempo. hasta que ocurra un crisis, y entonces de repente tienen que tratar con enfermedades, borrachos, locos, terroristas o problemas con el vuelo.

It seems to me that the work of a flight attendant is very boring for most of the time until a crisis happens, and then suddenly they have to deal with illnesses, drunks, crazies, terrorists or plane problems.
