redenci贸n

The Spanish word 'redenci贸n' is used in the same way as the English word 'redemption'. It can refer to the act of making something better or more acceptable, such as in the context of redeeming one's sins or mistakes. It can also refer to the aspect of salvation in Christian belief. Much like in English, 'redenci贸n' is a noun and may require the use of appropriate articles or prepositions based on sentence structure.

Here's how to use it:

  • La redenci贸n es un tema recurrente en la literatura y en la cine.
  • La redenci贸n se puede buscar, pero no siempre se encuentra.
  • La redenci贸n de Juan dio un vuelco a su vida.

amabilidad

The Spanish term for 'kindness' is 'amabilidad'. It is used to express the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. This can refer to the way in which individuals treat one another, character traits, or actions performed. You can find it used in various contexts such as personal exchanges and literature.

Here's how to use it:

  • Gracias por tu amabilidad y paciencia conmigo.
  • La gente ama su amabilidad y generosidad.
  • Tus palabras de amabilidad me hicieron sentir mejor.

cerdo

A pig is a domesticated large and stout-bodied animal with a thick bristly skin, a long flexible snout, and a tail. Pigs are kept as livestock mainly for their meat (pork).

Here's how to use it:

  • Mi cerdo est谩 enfermo.
  • El cerdo es rosado
  • El cerdo duerme en el establo

oscuro

The word 'oscuro' in Spanish refers to the lack of light in a physical space or the colour black, akin to its usage in English. It can be used describing the colour of an object, the weather, or a room. It can also be metaphorically used for describing situations or moods that are gloomy or depressing, just like in English-language usage.

Here's how to use it:

  • El cuarto es muy oscuro.
  • Es dif铆cil ver en la oscuridad.
  • La noche es oscura y llena de terrores.

doctor

A 'doctor' refers to a person who is qualified to treat people who are ill. This term can be used for both male and female practitioners.

Here's how to use it:

  • Voy al doctor.
  • Soy doctor en medicina.
  • Necesito un doctor.
