Hola beloved language explorer,

In this edition, we'll unravel the wisdom of the proverb 'Más vale prevenir que lamentar' and demystify essential words including 'bolsa', 'tres', 'extrañar', 'sitio', and 'pasaporte'.

bolsa

A container made of flexible material with an opening at the top, used for carrying things.

Here's how to use it:

  • Me gusta tu bolsa.
  • ¿Cuánto cuesta esta bolsa?
  • Cambió La bolsa por un maletín.

tres

The word 'tres' is used in the Spanish language to denote the number three. It is often used in a variety of contexts, including counting, ordering, and referencing quantities. For instance, 'Tengo tres manzanas' means 'I have three apples'. The word 'tres' is modified when talking about age, such as 'He is three years old' would translate to 'Él tiene tres años'.

Here's how to use it:

  • Solo quedan tres boletos.
  • Pasó tres años en Italia.
  • El tres es su número favorito.

extrañar

The Spanish term 'extrañar' translates to 'miss' in English. It's generally used when someone is missing someone else, like missing a friend or relative. However, it is also applicable when talking about missing an event or activity. Similar to how we use 'miss' in various contexts in English, 'extrañar' is a versatile term in the Spanish language.

Here's how to use it:

  • ¿Extrañas a tus amigos?
  • Ellos extrañan a su maestro.
  • Ella extraña su antiguo trabajo.

sitio

The word 'sitio' in Spanish translates to 'site' in English. It is used in the same way as in English, to refer to a place or location. It can refer to a physical place or location, as well as an online website or location. For example, 'sitio de construcción' translates to 'construction site', while 'sitio web' translates to 'website'.

Here's how to use it:

  • Se me olvidó el sitio de la reunión.
  • Necesito un sitio tranquilo para leer.
  • Este es el sitio donde nos conocimos.

pasaporte

'Pasaporte', the Spanish term for 'passport'. It is a government-issued document that verifies one's identity and nationality.

Here's how to use it:

  • Necesito mi pasaporte para viajar.
  • Puedes mostrar tu pasaporte, por favor?
  • Olvidé mi pasaporte en casa.
