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: Como hoy es el equinoccio de otoño, la duración del día y de la noche es la misma.

Because today is the fall equinox, the day and the night last the same amount of time.

2: Este calendario indica las fechas de los equinoccios y los solsticios.

This calendar shows the dates of the equinoxes and the solstices.

El equinoccio de verano me llena de tristeza porque sé que de este tiempo adelante los días se acortan y quiero mucho los claros días largos.

The summer equinox fills me with sadness because I know that from this time forward the days shorten and I love the bright long days.

Me gusta mucho el equinoccio vernal porque significa que los días va a estar u poco más cálido todos los días.

I really like the Spring equinox because it means that the days are going to be a little warmer every day.

Many of our holidays were originally based on the sostice and the equinoxes ;-)! - Jraider, Sep 22, 2017
That is partly true. Also, old calendars are based on the sun & moon. - NKM1974, Sep 22, 2017

Se dice que durante el equinoccio es possible equilibrar un huevo en su extremo. Es cierto, pero con esfuerzo se puede equilibrar un huevo en su extremo cualquier día del año.

It is said that on the equinox it's possible to balance an egg on its end. It's true, but with effort one can balance an egg on its end any day of the year.

¡Otro equinoccio, y el otoño ha caído! Mi estación favorita, pero con sus lluvias, también hay lágrimas por aquellos que no comparten los colores de otoño con mí. enter image description here ?Vea y escuche ? música vídeo? Another equinox, and fall has fallen! My favorite season, but with its rains, there are also tears for those who do not share the autumn colors with me.
