191 words on the topic

  • el amigo
    friend
    A heavier word than English friend: an acquaintance is un conocido, a colleague un colega
  • la familia
    family
    A false friend: this is family, not surname — the surname is el apellido. Stress on the i: fah-MEE-lyah
  • la madre
    mother
    The neutral word, for documents and for talking about someone else. The affectionate mom is mamá, stress at the end
  • el padre
    father
    The affectionate one is papá, stress at the end. The accent mark decides everything: papá is dad, papa is a potato and the Pope
  • el hijo
    child
    A child as somebody's son or daughter. In the plural los hijos means children in general; a kid regardless of parents is el niño
  • la persona
    person
    Always feminine, even about a man: una persona alta. People in general are la gente, and the verb with it stays singular
  • el hombre
    man
    A man, and mankind in the broad sense. In conversation hombre! is just listen! or come on!
  • la mujer
    woman
    The j is a harsh throaty h: moo-HER
  • el chico
    young man
    A young man, a guy. The bookish one is el joven; Latin America prefers el muchacho. As an adjective chico means small
  • la chica
    young woman
    The pair of el chico. One word covers girl and young woman; age comes from context, not the word
  • el anciano
    elderly man
    The c before i is a soft th in Spain and an s in Latin America: ahn-SYAH-noh
  • el desconocido
    stranger
    Literally unknown: conocido is an acquaintance, des- cancels it. As an adjective the same word means unfamiliar
  • la multitud
    crowd
    A crowd of people. A pile of things gets a different word — un montón

    son
    The h is silent and j is a throaty h: EE-hoh

  • joven
    young
    Unchanged by gender; in the plural jóvenes, with an accent

  • el bigote
    mustache
    Singular here: lleva bigote means he wears a mustache
  • delgado
    slim
    The polite way to say it. Flaco sounds harsher, close to scrawny
  • gordo
    fat
    Blunt; about people it stings, so un poco gordito softens it. The big lottery prize is el gordo too
  • guapo
    good-looking
    Said of a person's looks. A thing is never guapo — that is bonito
  • el aspecto
    appearance
    Tiene buen aspecto means he looks good — said of food just the same
  • amable
    kind
    From amar, to love. One form for both genders: un vecino amable, una vecina amable
  • alegre
    cheerful
    A trait of character, so it goes with ser. The same form for men and women
  • inteligente
    clever
    One form for both genders. The colloquial listo covers both 'clever' and 'ready'
  • malo
    mean
    Mean about people, bad about things. Before a masculine noun it drops the o: un mal hombre
  • tranquilo
    calm
    A calm character and a soothing word in one: tranquilo alone means 'relax, it's fine'
  • educado
    polite
    Literally 'well brought up'. Maleducado, the opposite, borders on an insult
  • perezoso
    lazy
    From la pereza, laziness. Me da pereza — 'I can't be bothered'
  • valiente
    brave
    One form for both genders. A cousin of valer, to be worth: brave as in 'worthy'

    Honest in business and money. Sincero is honest in words

    groom
    Also a boyfriend. Los novios together are the newlyweds

    There's casa, a house, hiding inside: to marry is to set up a shared home. Marry a person with con: casarse con

  • los padres
    parents
    The plural of el padre: a mixed pair goes into the masculine
  • el hermano
    brother
    Los hermanos covers brothers and sisters together — the mixed group goes masculine

    Feminine only; to say sisters you need las hermanas
  • la abuela
    grandmother
    The affectionate form is la abuelita. Los abuelos means grandma and grandpa together
  • el abuelo
    grandfather
    The Latin avus, ancestor, is the root here. A great-grandfather is el bisabuelo
  • el tío
    uncle
    Among young people tío just means dude — no family connection required
  • la tía
    aunt
    The accent mark is mandatory: without it tia wouldn't read as two syllables
  • el nieto
    grandson
    A granddaughter is la nieta, and los nietos is the grandkids together
  • el pariente
    relative
    A false friend: los parientes are your relatives, while los padres are your parents. Easy to trip over
  • el primo
    male cousin
    One word for the whole relation; a female cousin is la prima. In casual speech primo can also mean someone easy to fool
  • los niños
    children
    A mixed group of kids goes masculine: los niños means boys and girls alike
  • el niño
    boy
    For a teenager people say el chico; el niño is the small one

    The same word also means the pupil of the eye: la niña del ojo — the apple of your eye
  • la hija
    daughter
    silent h: EE-hah
  • ¿cuántos años tienes?
    how old are you?
    Literally 'how many years do you have': in Spanish you have your age rather than being it
  • el adulto
    adult
    Works as a noun and an adjective alike: una persona adulta
  • el adolescente
    teenager
    One form for both genders: la adolescente looks exactly the same
  • el bebé
    baby
    Always masculine, even about a girl: mi hija es un bebé precioso
  • la edad
    age
    Feminine, like almost every -dad word. La Edad Media is the Middle Ages
  • tengo treinta años
    I am thirty years old
    Again 'have': tengo treinta años. Saying soy treinta is a glaring slip
  • rizado
    curly
    About hair: el pelo rizado. Straight is liso, wavy is ondulado. A single curl is un rizo, and rizarse el pelo is to curl one's hair
  • calvo
    bald
    Quedarse calvo — to go bald. A man with a very short buzz cut is rapado, which is quite another thing
  • canoso
    gray-haired
    From las canas — gray hair, always plural: me están saliendo canas. Canoso is a person going gray; con el pelo blanco is completely white
  • la estatura
    height (of a person)
    Only about people. The height of an object, a building or a mountain is la altura: la altura del techo. To ask about someone's height: ¿cuánto mides? — literally 'how much do you measure'
  • esbelto
    slender
    A compliment: slender and graceful. Delgado is simply thin, neutral; flaco is skinny, closer to a reproach; en forma is in shape. In conversation a Spaniard will more often say delgado
  • de estatura media
    of medium height
    The way a person is described in an ad or a police report. The colloquial version is ni alto ni bajo. Medio before the word would mean 'half', so the order is fixed: estatura media
  • adelgazar
    to lose weight
    From delgado, thin. He adelgazado tres kilos — I have lost three kilos, with no preposition at all. A drier synonym is perder peso
  • engordar
    to gain weight
    English needs two words here, but Spanish gets by with one verb, from gordo, fat. He engordado en invierno. The same is said of food: el pan engorda — bread is fattening
  • generoso
    generous
    About a person and about a portion: una ración generosa — a generous serving. Its exact opposite is tacaño
  • paciente
    patient
    The same word as el paciente, a patient: in Latin, enduring suffering and being patient are one. One form for both genders. The noun is la paciencia: ten paciencia — hang on
  • trabajador
    hardworking
    An adjective and a noun at once: es muy trabajador — hardworking; el trabajador — a worker. The feminine is trabajadora
  • de fiar
    reliable
    Spanish describes a person with the phrase es una persona de fiar. The adjective fiable exists, yet it describes things and data — a car, statistics — not a friend
  • modesto
    modest
    Modest as in 'does not boast'. Modest out of shyness is tímido, and a modest salary is un sueldo modesto — here the word works as in English
  • sociable
    outgoing
    One form for both genders. Close by are abierto — open, and extrovertido — an extrovert. The opposite is reservado, a reserved person
  • atento
    caring
    One word for 'attentive' and 'caring': está atento en clase — attentive in class; es muy atento con su madre — caring with his mother. Affectionate is a separate word, cariñoso
  • serio
    serious
    About a person and about a business: una empresa seria — a solid firm. But a serious illness is grave, not seria. ¿En serio? — seriously?
  • bien educado
    well-mannered
    One educado means 'polite'. For 'well-mannered' you need bien. The negative, meanwhile, is one word: maleducado
  • el sentido del humor
    sense of humor
    The article inside is obligatory: not sentido de humor but del humor. Tener mucho sentido del humor — to have a great sense of humor; no tiene ni pizca — not a drop of it
  • tacaño
    stingy
    the ñ is a soft ny sound: ta-KA-nyo
  • testarudo
    stubborn
    From la testa — the head. The colloquial synonym cabezota is also about the head and sounds almost affectionate. Terco is drier and more bookish
  • grosero
    rude
    Only about behavior and words. Rough to the touch is áspero, a blunder is un error garrafal, crude work is tosco — English 'rough' covers more ground than this word does
  • descarado
    shameless
    Literally 'without a face': here la cara stands for conscience. Hence tener mucha cara — to have a lot of nerve. ¡Qué caradura! — what a piece of work
  • astuto
    cunning
    Crafty as a fox, with a shade of praise for the mind. When the trickery is cheating, it is tramposo. And listo simply means sharp, without any reproach
  • hablador
    talkative
    From hablar. Not necessarily a reproach: es muy hablador can sound approving. The same meaning as an idiom: habla por los codos
  • despistado
    absent-minded
    From la pista, a track: the one who lost the track. Estar despistado is to be distracted for a moment, ser despistado is to be like that in life. The ser and estar difference works literally here
  • de mal genio
    hot-tempered
    Spanish describes it with a phrase built on el genio — temper, disposition (and, yes, 'genius'). Tiene mal genio — he has a short fuse; saltar a la mínima — to flare up over nothing
  • indiferente
    indifferent
    About a person — indifferent; about a choice — it makes no difference: me es indiferente means 'I don't care'. One form for both genders
  • el hábito
    habit
    A personal habit, especially in the pair buenos y malos hábitos. La costumbre is a custom, but in the frame tengo la costumbre de it also means a habit — the words share the field
  • la amiga
    female friend
    The feminine partner of el amigo. Mi amiga is a friend and nothing more: a girlfriend in a couple is mi novia. The diminutive amiguita sounds condescending
  • el conocido
    acquaintance
    From conocer. Un conocido mío — an acquaintance of mine, not a friend. As an adjective the same word means famous: un actor muy conocido
  • el talento
    talent
    Tener talento para — to have a knack for. The conversational version: se le dan bien los idiomas. El don is a gift, a loftier word
  • nacer
    to be born
    The first person grows a z: nazco. About yourself, past tense: nací en Moscú. El nacimiento is birth — and la Navidad shares the root
  • la infancia
    childhood
    En mi infancia sounds bookish; in speech people say de pequeño. Infantil means children's — and often childish, a rebuke
  • la juventud
    youth
    The age and the people: la juventud de hoy. The conversational version is de joven — when I was young
  • la vida adulta
    adult life
    Hacerse mayor is to grow up — literally to become older. Ser mayor de edad is to be of age, eighteen in Spain
  • la generación
    generation
    La generación de mis padres. La brecha generacional is the generation gap. The plural sheds the accent: las generaciones
  • la ciudad natal
    hometown
    Natal comes from nacer: native by birth, and nothing else. A dear person is a different word altogether: querido, or de la familia
  • llevar cinco años en el país
    to have lived in the country for five years
    Llevar plus a span of time is how Spanish counts duration: llevo cinco años aquí — present tense, though the story began long ago. A past llevé would mean it is all over
  • el recuerdo
    memory
    The same word as the souvenir: a memory and a keepsake at once. In the plural los recuerdos is also regards: dale recuerdos
  • una foto antigua
    old photograph
    Antiguo is old by age, viejo worn out or aged about people. La foto is feminine despite the o — a clipped la fotografía
  • el destino
    fate
    Fate and destination: el destino del vuelo on the departures board is the second one. El azar is chance, la suerte luck
  • empezar una vida nueva
    to start a new life
    Nuevo after the noun means a new, different life; before it, una nueva vida, just another one. The nuance is thin but heard. Empezar de cero — to start from scratch
  • formar una familia
    to start a family
    Formar is to form; children come with a different verb, tener hijos. Sentar la cabeza — to settle down — is the colloquial twin
  • rico
    rich
    The same word already means 'tasty'. The verbs keep them apart: es rico — he's rich; está rico — it's tasty
  • pobre
    poor
    Before the noun it shifts meaning: un hombre pobre — a man without money; un pobre hombre — a poor soul. Word order is the meaning here
  • el compañero de habitación
    roommate
    Literally "room companion": la habitación is the room. A flatmate is el compañero de piso, the neighbor across the landing el vecino
  • el amigo de la infancia
    childhood friend
    La infancia is childhood. Warmer still: un amigo de toda la vida — a friend for life
  • el pariente lejano
    distant relative

  • criar a los hijos
    to raise children
    Criar is to rear, to bring up; educar is to teach manners. The child takes an a before it
  • famoso
    famous
    Un actor famoso — known to everyone. Conocido is known on a smaller scale, and un conocido as a noun is just an acquaintance

    engagement

    Spanish has no single word for it: people say this, or more simply — estrenar piso, to break in the new flat
  • el luto
    mourning
    Estar de luto — to be in mourning; ir de luto — to go about in black. In villages it used to be worn for years
