The Day of the Spanish Language
Saturday, June 18, 2011 @ 1:30 PM
Today is "The Day of the Spanish Language".We are more than 500 million native speakers of Spanish all over the world.
Here in Spain, since several days ago, "The Cervantes Institute" has asked spanish people some prefered spanish words.Some words choosed by people were for example: Gracias, Confianza, Sentimiento, Cariño, Alegría, Amor, Madre, Amanecer....; but the two words prefered by people were: Libertad and Sueño.
My prefered words are:
Vida (Life): Because it is the most important thing that we can check, when we open our eyes every day.
Algodón (Cotton): Because I like its sound and also I like what its means: the material used to heal a wound and also: a sweet, pink for example, for children at a fair.
Noray (Noray): Because it lets you being safe in a harbor, when you are sailing with very bad weather.It protects your boat as the sweet cotton protects children, when they are enjoying at a fair.Also, Noray protects your boat as Cotton protects you when you are a child and have a wound --there is a spanish expression that syas: "He is entre algodones (among cottons)", it means that a child is too much protected by its family--.
Gracias (Thanks): Of course, this is a very important word, because we all have to give thanks to Life --despite the difficulties--.We have to give thanks, because many times we have much more things than we need.And I have to thank you for reading my blog.
Have a good day.
