Before we start:

cuenta regresiva

The Spanish term 'cuenta regresiva' is used in similar contexts as 'countdown' in English. It is commonly used to refer to a backward count sequence to indicate the time left before an event starts. Just like in English, it can refer to a variety of events such as the launch of a spaceship, the start of a new year, or the time remaining before a deadline.

Here's how to use it:

  • Estamos en la cuenta regresiva para el lanzamiento.
  • La cuenta regresiva para la boda comenzó.
  • La cuenta regresiva para las elecciones ha empezado.

millón

In Spanish, 'millón' is used in the same way as 'million' in English. It represents the number 1,000,000. It is commonly used when talking about quantities, populations, and finances. It is worth noting that when this word is used in plural form, 'millones', it must be directly followed by 'de' before the thing being quantified - for instance, 'dos millones de personas' which means 'two million people'.

Here's how to use it:

  • Ella tiene un millón de razones para no ir.
  • Su fortuna es de un millón de dólares.
  • Tardaría un millón de años en hacer eso.

Voleibol

Volleyball is a sport played by two teams of six players each on a court divided by a net. The objective is to send the ball over the net in a way that the opposing team is unable to return it.

Here's how to use it:

  • ¿Quieres jugar al voleibol?
  • Me encanta el voleibol.
  • El voleibol es un deporte divertido.

política

The word 'política' is used in Spanish in the same context as 'policy' in English. It most commonly refers to a course or principle of action proposed or adopted by an organization or individual. For example, company policy( política de la empresa), government policy (política gubernamental), or privacy policy (política de privacidad).

Here's how to use it:

  • La política es un tema complicado.
  • La política exterior es importante para un país.
  • El país necesita una política económica más efectiva.

planta de exterior

None

Here's how to use it:

  • Esta planta de exterior puede resistir el frío.
  • La planta de exterior tiene hojas amarillas.
  • El perro ha mordido la planta de exterior.
