lado The Spanish word 'lado' is used pretty much the same way as the English word 'side'. It can denote the left or right part of something, next to or from the point of view of someone facing the object. It can also refer to a particular aspect or feature of something; or in relation to someone's position when they are considering a situation, like 'on his side'. Here's how to use it: Puedes poner esto a un lado por favor? Estaba de tu lado durante toda la discusión. Déjalo a un lado y continuemos con la reunión.

incluyendo The term 'incluyendo' in Spanish is used in the same context as 'including' in English. It is mainly used to introduce one or more elements that form a part of the whole item or group. Just as in English, it's not typically used to start a sentence, but instead acts as a connector within the sentence or statement. Here's how to use it: Estoy pensando en comprar varios comestibles, incluyendo manzanas y plátanos. Ella tiene muchas responsabilidades en su trabajo, incluyendo la supervisión del personal. El recorrido del museo abarcó varios periodos de la historia, incluyendo la Edad Media.

perder The Spanish word 'perder' means to 'lose' in English. It is used in similar circumstances as in English. For example, it could be used to express the loss of an item, to lose oneself in a place, or losing a game. Like 'lose' in English, 'perder' is a verb and would change forms depending on tense and subject. Here's how to use it: El equipo local no puede permitirse perder este partido. No puedes perder la fe en ti mismo. Podemos perder el tren si nos demoramos.

|
gota The Spanish word for 'drop' is 'gota'. It is mainly used to denote a small amount of liquid, which can be suspended in air or falls by its own weight. Just like in English, it can also be used metaphorically to imply a small quantity of something. Here's how to use it: Tengo una gota de sudor en mi frente. Gota a gota se llena el vaso. No quiero ni una gota de leche.
