Well, let's see...No means "no" in Spanish and English. "Horrible" is also the same. "Terrible", as well. "Adorable" is the same.

between the other thread and this one , there are around 60 words or more that are identical .... I think this is important to know for English -Spanish speaking tongues for so many reasons
one reason is to use them with the precaution of knowing the right pronoun-cation but another important reason is distinguish between the inglesspano language that can be used in places populated by speaking 2 tongues like in Miami Fl .... in there for example you can hear some words and you can not really distinguish if this word is really pure english / really pure spanisg or it is mix of both
mingled together ... cool to hear some slang words that is coming from twisting words together .... cheers to you all ![]()
This was done before
great job cristalino .... you brought a lot of words to this game ![]()
Possible in English .... Posible in Spanish .... very close but not identical because it is missing one letter ...... S
for example there are so many words that they end with ....tion in English and similarly ends in ....cion in Spanish .... but they do not count in here in this challenge game .... we are looking for identical words ... identical letters .
