Dio / dio ???

Question

I thought Dio is "God", but in this dictionary it says dio is "gave"? "Vaya con Dios" was said to me in Guatemala. Maybe it was Dios and dio and the s on the end makes all the difference?

Answer 1

Dios is God, dioses is gods.

Dio is the 3rd person singular preterit form of dar, to give.

But even if they were exactly the same, don´t forget that English has the noun reed, which is a type of grass and English also has the verb read, but they sound exactly alike.

Is there a red reed or are they all a browny, creamy color? - 00515f39, Nov 16, 2009
