Hehe. Actually, it's a standard Spanish equation for making a verb.

En + noun or adjective root + verb ending = ensenar.

The noun here is seno, bosom. So it means "to embosam."

Same construction as in many other words such as enfriar (frío), enchilar (chile), encordar (cuerda), etc.

is the word ensena derived from the word senos? I was unable to find ensena in my dictionary.

Yes, it is derived form "seno", and it is extremely rare too (out of use, actually), which is why you couldn't find it in your dictionary. I just included it to illustrate my point about the ÿ.

Therefore: ensena = he teaches (or displays or shows)

Ok, here we go again:Ensena = (she) hides something in her breasts / (he/she) brings the boat into a cove/bayBut this most likely it is a mistake, and what you want is written with ÿ:Enseña = (he/she) teaches / showsThe ÿ is not an N with a tilde, but a letter on its own; it sounds different, it is spelled different, and you get a different meaning.

The letter n just before the letter a is missing its hat. I remembered just know that there is a little poem about the letter ñ missing its hot. But can't remember where,I read it. I'll think about it, hope it'll come to me. I will posted if , I can find it.

Check one of my posts about the letter ÿ. The mathematical shape called cone changes its meaning radically if you use the ñ instead of the n.

Becomes a "frustrated cone". perhaps? jeje
