Another week and another word. Actually I am familiar with this word as it seems how my marriage has been for some time now. This week’s word is: lejano leh-hah’-no (adjective) which means distant, far-off. Now lets see it in a couple of examples:
1. Mis tíos tienen una casa en el campo donde por las noches lo único que se oye son los silbidos de trenes lejanos.
My aunt and uncle have a house in the country where all you can hear at night are the whistles of far-off trains.
2. Se pensaba que tendríamos coches voladores para el comienzo del siglo, pero creo que eso lo tendremos que dejar para el futuro lejano.

I always appreciate another Spanish word of the week. I previously knew of “lejos” or “lejos de”, but I didn’t know about the adjective form of lejano. I could see this word being used in a variety of contexts.
Will I think this will be a easy word to use in a sentence this week. I think once you get a better handle on things you will realize you are better off without Edgar. He may have been distant, but at least you have plenty of experience doing everything on your own.
Unfortunately I can relate to this word like you. The English translation of the second sentence is missing.
