claro

In Spanish, 'claro' is used similar to the English 'clear'. It can describe something visible or apparent like 'clear water' in Spanish is 'agua clara'. It can also be used to show understanding or agreement in conversational speech, for instance, 'Of course, I understand' can be translated to 'Claro, entiendo'.

Here's how to use it:

• ¡Claro que sí!
• Es claro que él tiene razón.

trabajador

The Spanish word 'trabajador' is used to denote someone who does work, such as a job or a particular task.

Here's how to use it:

• ¡Estoy pronto!

An airplane is a vehicle that can fly by gaining support from the air. It counters the force of gravity by using either static lift or by the dynamic lift of an airfoil, or in a few cases the downward thrust from jet engines.
