No te enojes is translated as don't be angry.

"No te nojes" translates to don't be angry.Right?Is there possibly another conotation to "enojes'?It doesn't seem like the word matches the latin word 'eratus' which means angry or irritated.

It's just perfect, we use it all the time, you can also say No te molestes, but the first one is more common.

It doesn't have to match latin all the time. - Dakie, Mar 10, 2011

Enjoarse means to become angry, annoyed, offended, displeased, etc. Like Dakie said, Spanish is derived from Latin, but that doesn't mean all the words have a one-to-one relationship with Latin. If they did, all the Romance languages would still pretty much be Latin.

From the R A E entry for "enojar":

(Del lat. vulg. inodi?re, enfadar)

Hence , it's not surprising that it doesn't resemble the Latin "eratus". How inconsiderate of Latin to have had more than one word for the same concept!

Right. I was just wondering if it had another meaning or nuance. - Jraider, Mar 10, 2011
