Are you ready to rattle your ribs with laughter and learn some new Spanish words all in one go? In this edition of our newsletter, we will tickle your funny bone with a hilarious Spanish joke (that also gives an interesting cultural insight), and expand your vocabulary with some fun Spanish words. Let's dive right into this language fiesta!

suelo

In Spanish, 'suelo' is used to refer to the surface of the earth or floor. This term is commonly used in outdoor settings and can also denote 'ground' in electrical contexts. It may also be used metaphorically, like in English, to imply a basis or foundation.

Here's how to use it:

  • ¿Tú sueles levantarte temprano?
  • Mi hermano suele llegar tarde a casa.
  • Nosotros solemos ir al cine los viernes.

orquesta

An orchestra is a large group of musicians playing a variety of musical instruments, especially stringed instruments. The word 'orquesta' in Spanish has the same meaning.

Here's how to use it:

  • La orquesta está ensayando para el gran concierto.
  • Quiero aprender a dirigir una orquesta.
  • Disfruto escuchando a la orquesta en el parque.

plátano

A banana is an elongated, edible fruit produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants in the genus Musa.

Here's how to use it:

  • Ella pone los plátanos en la refri.
  • Los plátanos son ricos en potasio.
  • El plátano se come con la mano.

Conejo

Rabbits are small mammals in the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha (along with the hare and the pika). Rabbits habitat includes meadows, woods, forests, grasslands, deserts and wetlands.

Here's how to use it:

  • El conejo es un animal herbívoro.
  • Necesito comprar comida para mi conejo.
  • El conejo es un símbolo de la Pascua.

recurso

The Spanish word 'recurso' is used in a similar manner as the English word 'resource'. It can refer to a supply of money, materials, staff, and other assets that can be drawn on by a person or organization in order to function effectively. It can also refer to an action or strategy which may be adopted in adversarial situations. 'Recurso' is often used in formal or business contexts.

Here's how to use it:

  • Necesitamos encontrar otro recurso para nuestra investigación.
  • El agua es un recurso escaso en algunas regiones.
  • El sol es un recurso de energía renovable.
