Five-Letter Spanish Words

Quick Answer

Need Spanish words with five letters? You’ll find a wide variety of 5-letter Spanish words in this article!

Are you playing the latest word game and you need a list of 5-letter Spanish words? Got a confusing crossword? Have a fill-in-the-blanks exercise with five letters that you just can’t figure out? Check out our list of Spanish words with 5 letters to help you figure out which word it could be!

First, let’s establish the main types of words on our list of 5-letter Spanish words.

Verbs

You can find both infinitive and conjugated verbs on our list of five-letter Spanish words. Remember that Spanish infinitives end in one of three letter combinations: -ar, -er, or -ir. So, if you see a verb that ends in any of these letter combinations, the verb is in its infinitive form!

You may also find conjugated verbs on this list of five-letter Spanish words. The conjugated form of a verb is when the verb has been changed according to the person doing the action. For example, when we take the verb hablar (speak) and conjugate it in the yo(I) form as hablo(I speak) or in the (you) form as hablas.

For verbs in the third person singular (for example, habla[you talk]), we have translated them into English in the usted(formal you) form.

Nouns

Just like in English, Spanish sustantivos(nouns) are words that identify people, places, or things. There is, however, one enormous difference between Spanish and English nouns; Spanish nouns are either masculine or feminine! It’s important to learn the gender of the noun so that you can change the gender of the adjective that describes the noun if necessary.

Noun and adjective agreement can be a real lío(mess) in Spanish. Read more about how to make your nouns and adjectives agree in this article!

Adjectives

Remember that an adjective is a word that describes a noun. Spanish adjectives must agree with the nouns that they describe in gender and number. This means that the endings of Spanish adjectives vary. The gender and number of the adjectives on this list may vary. Some may contain five letters only when they accompany a plural noun. Others may only have five letters if they accompany a singular noun.

Remember: This list is just a selection of some of the most common Spanish words with five letters. Each word can have more than one translation. The translation used in this article is, in most cases, the main translation on SpanishDict.com.

Let’s get started.
