La palabra del Dia

La palabra del dia es cauteloso.
Cauteloso means careful
El camina con cautela atravez del tunel. Se cauteloso cuando salgas del tunel.
Lit: He walks with care thru the tunner. Be careful when you are exiting of the tunnel.

In Spanish we used verbs quite differently. The participle sufix -ing at the end of the verb is used differently. We never say cuando saliendo (when exiting) we say: cuando salgas. In other words when you leave. The -as ending means you (tu).
Cautela is the noun of cauteloso(a) which is the abjective.
Words used:
Caminar: to walk
con: with
cautela: care
con cautela: carefully
atravez: thru
del: of the
tunel: tunnel
salir: to exit
cuando: when
ser: to be
el: he

Cauteloso is pronounced: Ka-oo-te-lo-sso

PAISAJE:La palabra del dia es "paisaje"(view,landscape) -amended

(I guess the picture's sun is sort of bright to be a paisaje though, ooops!)
La palabra del dia es "paisaje"(view,landscape). We used this word mostly when it is preceded by an objective of admiration for beauty and greatness. We can say: Què bonito paisaje!,
Mira que bello paisaje! (lit: What a pretty view!, Look what a beautiful landscape!)
Words used:
Què: What
Mira: Look
Un: a, an (masculine)
Una: a, an (femenine)
Bonito, bonita: pretty
Bello, bella: beautiful

*Observe how we didn't say Què bonito un paisaje! but we say Què bonito (sans un) paisaje, without the word "un" that means a, an but in English we say What "a" pretty view!
Paisaje is pronounced "Paeesahe", the j is pronounced like a deep h.
Hope this enjoyable and helpful.
Don' t forget to check this blog on the weekends when I am going to post Culture, Art and Sport related posts.
Hasta luego
