subida

rise


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: Las inundaciones son resultado de la subida del nivel del mar.

The floods are a result of the rise in sea level.

2: La subida en el precio de la tortilla afectará más a las familias de bajos recursos.

The rise in the price of tortillas will have more of an effect on low-income families.

La subida de un metro en los océanos puede inundar muchas islas del pacifico.

The rise of one meter in the oceans can flood many islands of the Pacific.

Five tiny Pacific islands have disappeared due to rising seas and erosion, a discovery thought to be the first scientific confirmation of the impact of climate change on coastlines in the Pacific, according to Australian researchers. ---

Good analogy. I wonder what it is now. Off the charts, probably. - rac1, Aug 29, 2017
And it's the cause of so many problems ;-(! - Jraider, Aug 29, 2017
Thanks Amber. I was going to reverse the second pic to stress the analogy, but it was late and I was tired. Glad you got it as is :) - jellonz, Aug 29, 2017
Oh, and just tipped 7.5 bil. Expectations are for 10 bil around 2050. Our resources, and I fear the planet itself, cannot sustain humanity for long at the rate we are multiplying. - jellonz, Aug 29, 2017
Absolutely Jr. But while everyone is happy to discuss environmental and resource issues, many refuse to consider the significance of overpopulation because even passive solutions to that problem can offend. - jellonz, Aug 29, 2017
mejor, deciden ignorar...niiiiiiiiiiice , perfect - 006595c6, Aug 29, 2017

ian, why "has"? levelS of immigration...wouldn't that be considered plural? - 006595c6, Aug 29, 2017
Good question :) Relace "Recent uncontrolled levels of immigration" with a noun and it is ok. - ian-hill, Aug 29, 2017

Si la subida no se mata, el descenso podría hacerlo.

If the ascent doesn't kill you, the descent might.

La subida en el costo de una casa por aquí ha hecho difícil encontrar una adecuada para mi hija (la que ya está embarazada) y aunque mi esposa siempre me dice que sigo viviendo en los setenta(s) y que no debería esperar los mismos precios, la verdad es que si comparas los salarios con los gastos (es decir, si ajustas para la inflación), la gente en promedio se ganó más dinero en aquel entonces.

The rise in the cost of a house around here has made it difficult to find an appropriate one for my daughter (who is already pregnant) and although my wife always tells me that I keep living in the seventies and should not expect the same prices, the truth is that if you compare the salaries with the expenses (that is to say, if you adjust for inflation) people on average earned more money back then.

Having read the comments under Billy's post, I thought Heidita might need a little more work to do. Setenta(s) reflects a regional difference in what I think she wants and what my instinct is. :) - bosquederoble, Aug 29, 2017
Typo: "and" :) - rac1, Aug 29, 2017
Thanks, Rac. :) - bosquederoble, Aug 29, 2017
I definitely think that it's harder for the younger generation these days :-)! - Jraider, Aug 29, 2017
It's happening here too Bosque. I bought my first house at 19 for $52,000. Now, 25 years later, it was sold for $360,000. That sort of money for an entry-level house is insane. Our kids may have lifelong mortgages :( - jellonz, Aug 29, 2017
I need a little more work...yeah, that was it...I was wondering what my problem was :P - 006595c6, Aug 29, 2017
Thank you, Heidita. :) - bosquederoble, Aug 29, 2017
I did point out the setenta vs. setentas is regional. :) - bosquederoble, Aug 29, 2017

Hay subidas en muchas cosas que no son buenas: la población, la temperatura del mar, el nivel del mar, la extinctión de varios animales y eventos climaticos extremos. Preferiría una subida en la sabiduría y la paz.

There are rises in many things which are not good: the population, the temperature of the sea, the level of the sea, the extinction of various animals and extreme climatic events. I would prefer a rise in wisdom and peace.
