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.

Examples:


1: Sé que se escucha utópico mi plan, pero creo que lo podemos lograr.

I know my plan sounds utopian, but I think we can make it work.

2: El utópico plan económico del presidente fracasó por falta de inversiones extranjeras.

The president's utopian economic plan failed due to the lack of foreign investment.

Living in peace should not be utopian, we are increasingly far from expressing our inner peace. But if there is no peace in ourselves, how can we express it to the world?

Improved:

Living in peace should not be utopian, we are further and further away from expressing our inner peace. But if there is no peace in ourselves, how can we express it to the world?

Thanks Heidita! =)

Vivir en paz no debería ser utópico, cada vez estamos más lejos de expresar nuestra paz interior. Pero si no hay paz en nosotros mismos, ¿cómo podemos expresarla al mundo?

Por el momento, yo díria que nuestro mundo es más distópico que utópico.

At the moment, I would say that our world is more dystopian than utopian.

Hay personas que han presentado una visión utópica basada en la idea de que la gente consta de una tabla rasa que se puede moldear según cualquier concepto idealista que queremos imponer. Steven Pinker argumenta que hay instintos intrínsecos dentro de nosotros y que si no los reconocemos y si no los contrarrestamos, vamos a fracasar en nuestros intentos de mejorar la sociedad.

There are those that have presented a utopian vision based on the idea that people consist of a blank slate that can be molded according to whatever idealistic concept that we want to impose. Steven Pinker argues that there are intrinsic instincts within us and that if we don’t recognize them and if we don’t counteract them, we are going to fail in our intents to improve society.

Los sueños utópicos parecen más y más alejados de la realidad.

Utopian dreams seem more and more removed from reality.

(I will be out of touch for the next two days but will check for corrections late Sunday.)

Para mí, esto serían el mundo utópico. Lamentablemente, la políitica, la religión y la codicia se interponen.

For me, this would be the ideal world. Unfortunately though, politics, religion and greed get in the way.

With correction:
