Spanish to English Game

Spanish to English Game

6
votes

The object of this game to look for English words inside of Spanish words.


Por ejemplo: For example:... The word "Cuando" contains the English word "and." The word "Compartir" contains the English word "part." The word "mensaje" contains the English word "men."


Rules: Put only Spanish words that contain English words. Put the English translation of the Spanish word along with the English word that the Spanish word contains. This doesn't have to go in alphabetical order. I hope you enjoy!smile

Indisputablemente - Indisputably

Indisputablemente - en

Indisputablemente - es

Indisputablemente - cuenta

Indisputablemente - un, una

Indisputablemente - capaz

Indisputablemente - indisputable

Indisputablemente - disputable

I also found the word 'dis'. It is in the dictionary (dictionary.com), but it is labeled as slang (and another two archaic definitions). I am not sure if it meets the requirements of the game. Well if it does it is right below.

Indisputablemente - insulto

also "con" is an English word. If you "con" someone, you've swindled them out of something. - amykay, Jul 29, 2010

also, the word "as", "rab" and "pi". - 00494ed7, Jul 29, 2010
a "rab" means a wooden beater for mixing plaster or mortar. - 00494ed7, Jul 29, 2010
"pi" is both a noun and a verb. as a noun, it means either printing types mixed together indiscriminately or any confused mixture. as a verb, it means both to reduce (printing types) to a state of confusion and to jumble. - 00494ed7, Jul 29, 2010
