carol-daniel, did you try holding down the Ctrl key and typing 161 on the numeric key pad? (If you are on a PC) - farallon7, JUN 6, 2012

Answer 1

abecedario = alphabet

Because, that's where all the other words are found.

Answer 2

zarigüeya

opossum

because I looked it up years ago to try to write a note in Spanish to my niece who was taking Spanish at the time, and it looks and sounds so exotic. In my part of the U.S. we usually shorten the word to possum.

Answer 3

"Libros - Books"

Because I love reading so much .

Answer 4

I have many favorite Spanish words. Here are a couple.

Desafortunadamente - Unfortunately (fun to say)

Aullar - To howl.

When you say "aullar" it sounds like you are howling at the moon, "Ah-ooooo-yar"

Answer 5

escuchar - to listen

..among a lot of others. But I really like this one, it sound very unusual and exotic compared to the meaning in languages like English and German, and has the typical Spanish mix of gentle and aggressive.

Answer 6

I would have said niña as it is my dogs name but Cardiff beat me to it. My second choice therefore is buzo because it is what I am. No, not Bozo - buzo which is a scuba diver.

jeje ¿Tal vez los dos? - Lrtward, MAY 11, 2010

it's fine to have the same favortie word as someone else. - jtt96, MAY 18, 2011

Answer 7

I like the word jilipollas

I heard it a lot when I had some spanish friends on a holiday in Benidorm. It was said in the same way as one would say 'you silly guy/girl'

I believe that this word is offensive and should not be included. You may have spelled it incorrectly. - JoyceM, ENE 4, 2011

My spanish friend relates that word to the offensive word that means the hole on one's behind. But it is spelled correctly. - Felixlynx, MAY 2, 2011

in english that is.....wait i cant say that but it is a swear - sam_walsh, MAY 18, 2011

Answer 8

Para mí, mi palabra favorita es 'erudito'. Significa educated, learned, or erudite. Me gusta porque aprendí erudito antes del inglés erudite. Me gusta cuando una palabra español me enseña una palabra inglés.

Answer 9
