sentido

The Spanish word 'sentido' translates to 'sense' in English. It is commonly used in the similar context as in English- referring to physical senses, like sense of smell or touch, a feeling or a meaning. Just like English, it's a versatile word that could also refers to the practical, logical, or sentimental 'sense' of an idea, action or concept.

Here's how to use it:

  • Tengo una gran sentido de humor.
  • Vamos en sentido contrario.
  • Siento que todo está fuera de sentido.

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:

  • Tengo miedo cuando está oscuro.
  • El cielo se está poniendo oscuro.
  • Detesto los días oscuros y lluviosos.

medianoche

The Spanish word 'medianoche' refers to the middle of the night, specifically the point in time when it is exactly 12:00 AM. It is used in the same contexts as the English word 'midnight'. For example, you might use the term to plan a meeting for the very start of the day, or to describe when a certain event took place.

Here's how to use it:

  • A medianoche, todos los niños deben estar en cama.
  • A medianoche, todo se vuelve tranquilo.
  • A medianoche comienza un nuevo día.

muy

In Spanish, 'muy' is an adverb that is used to intensify the meaning of an adjective or another adverb. It is equivalent to the English word 'very'. Just like in English, the adverb 'muy' is typically positioned before the word it modifies.

Here's how to use it:

  • Estoy muy cansado.
  • La película es muy interesante.
  • Hoy estoy muy feliz.

hasta

The Spanish word 'hasta' is used in a similar context to the English word 'until'. It can be used to indicate a point of time or an event that something will continue up to. For example, in the sentence 'I will wait until tomorrow', the word 'until' would be translated to 'hasta' in Spanish - 'Voy a esperar hasta mañana'.

Here's how to use it:

  • Espera hasta que la luz se ponga verde.
  • Vive cada día hasta el máximo.
  • Hasta el infinito y más allá.
