Most Spanish words that end in "dad" end in "ty" in English. - ian-hill, Dec 4, 2011

Ten piedad is more like "have mercy".
Ten piedad de nosotros - Have mercy on us;

thank you so much for your answers. When we say "Señor, ten piedad" in Mass - does it mean have mercy?

¡Hola!, BrideofRocknRoll:
Here is a link to a version of a Holy Mass with side by side Spanish and English. To see it, Click Here.
At lines 25 to 30, the English version expresses 'ten pieded' as 'have mercy'.
Muchos saludos/Best regards,
Moe
