Answer 1

Here in Baja coraje is used to mean anger. So I would use valentía for courage.

Gringo, "coraje" means both "anger" and "courage". Context tells us which one is indicated, but "valentía" is also a good choice for just "courage" although in DF I would say "coraje" more used - 005faa61, Jun 18, 2014

Thanks Julian. I was stating what I hear used here. As with many things context is crucial. - gringojrf, Jun 18, 2014
