La Palabra Del Día "ventoso"
ventoso
windy
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.

Ok, last chance...do NOT make sentences so long. it is very uncommon in Spanish and sounds off. I mean, do what you want, but if you really want to sound "Spanish" , don't do it. People have the tendency to think that the longer, the better...not the case in Spanish.
Although we do not have hurricanes, in the Northwest during autumn we have some very windy days, and after such a day I have to be cautious because there can be branches in the road when I drive to work in the dark.
