Answer 1

Homonyms are words which have the same spelling and pronunciation as each other but different meanings and origins. Some examples: fluke, bank, bow etc or in Spanish, as per your example; llama

Homophones are words which have the same pronunciation as each other but different spellings and meanings.

Here's some examples homonyms etc - carrot, caret etc or in Spanish as per your example casa, caza

And just to confuse you, je je

HOMOGRAPHS are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings. Heteronyms are a type of homograph that are also spelled the same and have different meanings, but sound different.

So read (leer) and read (leyó) are heteronyms read (leyó) y red are homophones - 0074b507, Dec 15, 2011

Only in the south (where they use the "seseo"), Quentin. Had you participated in Heidita's chats, you would know this (or at least you would have heard her "correctly" [je je] make the distinction). - samdie, Dec 15, 2011
