| canción Canción is the Spanish term equivalent to 'song'. It refers to a short musical composition with words. Here's how to use it: | |
| cascabeles The translation for 'jingle bells' is 'cascabeles'. In Spanish, this is used to refer to small bells that are often used to produce jingling sounds, especially during Christmas or on certain types of instruments. It can also refer to the festive song popular during the holiday season, 'Jingle Bells', which is widely known and loved in Spanish-speaking regions as well. Here's how to use it: Mi gato juega con un cascabel que le compré. La canción 'Jingle Bells' en español se traduce como 'Cascabeles'. Compré cascabeles para mi árbol de Navidad en el mercado navideño. | |
| Sagradas Escrituras The Spanish term 'Sagradas Escrituras' translates to 'Sacred Scriptures' in English. It is a term that is often used to refer to the holy texts of a religion, such as the Christian Bible. It can also refer to important writings or teachings in other religions. This term is commonly used in religious contexts, highlighting the revered status of these texts. Here's how to use it: La interpretación de las Sagradas Escrituras es fundamental para entender la fe Las Sagradas Escrituras son el pilar de nuestras creencias Siempre encontramos sabiduría en las Sagradas Escrituras | |
| problema The Spanish word for 'problem' is 'problema'. It is used in much the same way as it is in English, to refer to a matter or situation regarded as unwelcome or harmful and needing to be dealt with and overcome. For example, 'Tengo un problema' means 'I have a problem'. Here's how to use it: | |
| calle de sentido único The Spanish phrase 'calle de sentido único' directly translates to 'street of one sense' in English. However, its idiomatic meaning is 'one-way street'. This phrase is commonly used in traffic and navigation contexts, where 'calle de sentido único' indicates a road where vehicles are allowed to travel in one direction only. In a broader, metaphorical sense, it might also be used to describe a situation or approach where only one outcome or method is considered or allowed. Here's how to use it: No puedes girar a la izquierda, es una calle de sentido único. La calle de sentido único conduce directamente a la estación de trenes. Estacionó su carro en una calle de sentido único. | |
