Can anyone tell me words that are plain and ordinary in the English language but have a big role in the Spanish language.
¿Puede alguien decirme palabras que son claras y común en el idioma Inglés, pero tiene un gran papel en la lengua española.

No spelling does not count, and you can use any words you like. - valerie_lewis03, Nov 26, 2012

Take has a lot of meanings:
"tomar" = to take possession of,
"llevar" = to take something to someone / transport someone,
"coger" = to take something away,
"arrebatar" = to take / snatch,
"parecerse" = to take after (your father),
"desmontar" = to take down,
"asumir" = to take on.

Hmmm... this is a bit misleading somehow... lol... - QFour, Nov 28, 2012
Haha. It might be because, in English, we tend to use one word so much for all different meanings. - Leanna1010, Nov 28, 2012
