aislado ( i-slah'-doh )

adjective ( isolated )

We are currently looking for a corrector for the Spanish sentences. If you are interested, please send me a pm. Susy is unable to continue with this task as she has other obligations that require her attention. In the meantime, please help one another out as you are able.

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. 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.

Would subjunctive "quiera" fit better here? You used the imperfect. Did you mean to use the conditional? - Jubilado, Jun 5, 2014

**It seems that a dog, even a puppy, is able to fit in our society pretty well. Do they feel isolated? That is what I always want to know.

Parece que un perro, incluso un cachorro, es capaz de caber muy bien en nuestra sociedad. ¿Se sienten aislados? Esto es lo que siempre quiero saber.**

La campesina tan guapa tenía un app que convirtió su móvil en linterna . Con la ayuda de aquello rayito brilliante de luz pudieron ver que estaban en un túnel que daba a una gran bodega, en un sitio aislado. Olía de vino, un olor bastante agradable. La jaula de las gallinas se había roto y las gallinas ya anduvieron sueltas..

The good looking countrywoman had a mobile phone app that worked as a torch. With the help of that little shaft of brilliant light, they were able to see that they were in a tunnel that lead to a huge cellar, in an isolated place. There was a smell of wine, a rather pleasant smell. The chicken-cage had broken and the hens were now roaming free.

Si las personas son aisladas pero no lo eligieron, pueden hacerse deprimidas. Por otra parte, aislamiento voluntario puede ser muy valioso para la mente. Por eso, pasar un rato aislado es una parte de varios religiones.

If people are isolated but did not choose it, they can become depressed. On the other hand, voluntary isolation can be very valuable for the mind. Thus, to spend some time isolated is a part of many religions.
