Animado

Animado translates to 'lively'. It is used to describe someone who is full of energy and life. For example, 'El niño es animado' means 'The child is lively'.

Here's how to use it:

  • Estoy muy animado para la fiesta esta noche.
  • No estoy animado para el examen.
  • Mi hermano está animado para el partido de fútbol.

empresa

This term refers to a commercial organization that operates on a for-profit basis. It can encompass businesses of all sizes.

Here's how to use it:

  • La empresa es muy grande.
  • La empresa está en Madrid.
  • La empresa está cerrada hoy.

papel

The Spanish word for paper is 'papel'. It is used in the same context as the English word 'paper'. For instance, you might use it when talking about writing or drawing on a piece of 'papel'. It's also commonly used in expressions such as 'papel de impresora' which means printer paper, and 'papel higiénico', which means toilet paper.

Here's how to use it:

  • Ella juega un papel importante en la empresa.
  • El papel de baño se acabó.
  • El papel cuesta cinco dólares.

espacio

In Spanish, 'espacio' translates to 'space'. This could refer to physical space in a room or in the universe, the space between objects, or metaphorical space. Just as in English, it is used in a variety of contexts and can also refer to a blank part in a document, a period of time, or the capacity of a place.

Here's how to use it:

  • El espacio entre estas dos sillas es muy pequeño.
  • Nosotros respetamos tu espacio personal.
  • El universo es un espacio infinito.

ciertamente

The Spanish word 'ciertamente' is an adverb which means 'certainly' in English. It can be used in sentences to express agreement or affirmation. For instance, if someone asks whether you are sure about a given fact or situation, you can use the word 'ciertamente' to reinforce your certainty. It often denotes an unequivocal yes.

Here's how to use it:

  • Ciertamente, este es el mejor restaurante de la ciudad.
  • No, ciertamente no es el camino correcto.
  • Gracias, ciertamente aprecio su ayuda.

¿Cómo llamó el vaquero a su hija? HIIIIIIIIJAAAAAAAAA.
