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.

..."inside and out".... sounds better. Yours is not wrong though. Thanks, Kat. :) - rac1, Sep 17, 2017

That's Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, Germany. - NKM1974, Sep 17, 2017
Muchas. - Mardle, Sep 17, 2017
mardle, it is muchOs. - 006595c6, Sep 17, 2017
So, because it can be "el turista" or "la turista" we have to assume "LOS turistas lo visitan", and likewise "muchOs turistas lo visitan". Correcto Heidi? - jellonz, Sep 18, 2017
Gracias amigos - porcupine7, Sep 18, 2017
indeed, jello, that's it, the masculine always includes the feminine form...so muchas would not make sense, unless we actually know there were only women - 006595c6, Sep 18, 2017
Gracias Heidi. - jellonz, Sep 18, 2017

Comedor Comer de manera suntuoso nunca fue realmente mi preferencia; Prefiero la gastronomía más simple, y la comida más conectada con el hombre común.

Sumptuous dining was never really my thing; I prefer simpler fare, and food more-connected to the common man.

If anyone is interested in the various versions of "become" in Spanish, scroll down to the bottom of the SD dictionary entry. It's quite enlightening, although I'm still unsure if I went with the right one here. - jellonz, Sep 17, 2017
This is exactly as you say, gaudy. jeje - rac1, Sep 18, 2017
It's gaudy. - Sassette, Sep 18, 2017
Es verdad! - jrschenk, Sep 18, 2017
One leetle correction, 'se convierte" - Daniela2041, Sep 18, 2017
Ah, gracias Dani - So I got the right "become" but the wrong conjugation - close but no cigar :) - jellonz, Sep 18, 2017
Btw, I found the various interpretations of "become" and their Spanish versions really interesting. Although the SD reference was good, it could do with the Dani touch. If you ever find time to write a reference article on it I'm sure we'd all benefit :) - jellonz, Sep 18, 2017
Ambs, Sassy, Jrs - Gaudy is right guys. Imagine waking up in this hotel with a hangover - shudder. - jellonz, Sep 18, 2017
