Cuerdo
 
This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word for December 4, 2009

cuerdo (adjective) — sane, sensible, wise, prudent. Look up cuerdo in the dictionary

Ese pobre no está cuerdo.
That poor man is insane. / That poor man isn't in his right mind.

De cuerdo y loco todos tenemos un poco.
We're all a little crazy in one way or another.

Un cuerdo consejo ...
Some prudent advice ...

Una persona cuerda no conduce un carro mientras está nievada. Pero hoy es el único día que puedo ir a la tienda. Supongo que no estoy cuerda. :)

cuerdo + estar = sane
cuerdo + ser = sensible
Supongo que no estoy cuerda.:bad: Supongo que no soy cuerda.:good::thinking:

"Estoy cuerda" is correct. Another thing would be "soy una cuerda" (I'm a rope) ;) :D

No estar cuerdo = estar loco. :)

If I say 'no soy cuerdo' would that not mean 'I am not sensible' ?:thinking:

If you say "no estoy cuerdo", you're saying you're crazy. :crazy:

If you said "no soy cuerdo" I would correct you immediately :D

I guess you mean "soy una persona cuerda" ;)

Don't ask me about the difference if you add "persona" and change the verb. I don't know. In Spain we say "ser una persona cuerda" (sensible, prudent, not mad) y "estar cuerdo" (not mad). Maybe in other countries "ser cuerdo" is used :thinking:
