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 plan was risky, but it was worth it in the end.

2: Emprender tal azaroso viaje es como arremeter contra molinos de viento.

Undertaking such a risky voyage seems a fool's errand.

Nadie me preguntó, pero creo que caminar con una pistola cargada es algo azaroso.

No one asked me, but I think that walking around with a loaded gun is a risky thing to do.

En el pasado solía colgar luces de Navidad de todos los canalones en la parte trasera de mi casa, pero luego mi esposa decidió que era demasiado azaroso y recientemente solo las he colgado de la parte encima de la terraza.

In the past I used to hang Christmas lights from all the gutters in the back part of my house, but then my wife decided that it was too chancy and recently I have only hung them from the part above the deck.

Si nunca intentas nada azaroso, no vas a lograr mucho.

If you never try anything risky, you are not going to accomplish much.

To participants from the United States: do not look at the sun during the eclipse on August 21 as it can damage your eyes. Many libraries are offering special eclipse glasses for free.

Ver un eclpise es azaroso porque la luz de un eclipse solar puede causar daños a tus ojos. Por eso conseguí lentes especiales para el evento.

Viewing an eclipse is risky because the light from a solar eclipse can damage your eyes. That's why I got special glasses for the event.

I have tested two of our pairs. You can see nothing except the sun when you wear them, but you can definitely see the sun without damage. :) - bosquederoble, Aug 11, 2017

Good point, bosque. They're so dark I wondered if I could see anything. @rac1 Thanks for complement. It's nice to see that some check for the later entries. - Sassette, Aug 12, 2017
