Spanish words you already know and maybe didn’t realise it

Some true Spanish-English friends

Note that although there are countless good friends between Spanish and English, they are not pronounced the same. Let’s take a look at each of them:

We also use temporal to refer to storms.
Although this word is a true friend, in Spanish we use it to refer to serious crimes, especially related to people, such as murder, crimes against minors or crimes against humanity.To refer to other acts that are against the law, such as running a red light or theft for example, we use the word DELITO.
As well as using the same as in English, we also use it to refer to the seasons of the year. In other words, summer is a ESTACIÓN.
In addition to using this word to refer to destiny, we also use it to refer to a destination.
We also use real for Royals: “La familia Real” (The Royal family).
Although in Spanish we use this word for capital cities and economic capital we do not use it for capital letters, we call them MAYÚSCULAS.
