Random Spanish Words #1

Yuhuu! 19/24 without a single Spanish lesson. :)

100% with 3:13 remaining... I still don't want to take Spanish 3.

Me too!!! I'm Argentine tho...

I only got 6

Tarde also means afternoon. And the fact that it's immediatly before 'night' doesn't help, you may want to consider accepting it

Another agree.

I think people use Good Afternoon more than they scold people for being late (Though it might be like in French where you don't actually say Good Afternoon, and instead say Good Day for morning and afternoon).

I typed in afternoon first but after thinking about it a second got the right answer. I don't think there's any need for a change.

Agreed. "A las cuatro de la tarde" is 4:00 in the afternoon.

That works too!

Turns out I wasn't so bad at Spanish GCSE after all.

should add some words from movies like Esse, pindejo, cabron. (Not sure how to spell any but seem to be used by gangsters)

barrio, village?

Missed 3

apparently i still remember my lessons from 17 years ago

For burro, the first thing that came to my head was burrito!

Burrito just means "little donkey."

Eso si que es. :-)

socks?

Since you have diacritics on most of the words that require it, you might want to add it to 'tío' as well.

It seems to me that a couple of these, fiesta and burro, have become so common in English that they don't need translating. The words have become part of the language even apart from Spanish-speaking areas, and are synonyms of the clues rather than translations.

never heard of barrio

this should be a quiz like the terms get randomized each time you take it

Gracias, Jefe de Quiz!

I submitted burrow first instead of neighborhood for 'burrio'.

Being that they mean the same and share a base, burrow should be accepted.

I would like to point out that while I habla no Español, I do know how to say, "You're ugly and your mother dresses you funny," in Spanish, as well as French, Russian and German. Just never know when you're gonna need that one.

'I hablo* no Español' is the correct way to say it.

Even though I've never used Spanish outside of the classroom and while south of the border, I use at least half of the words on the list in regular English conversations without anyone noticing. I'm not sure if that would be the case if I lived in New York or Michigan but in Houston it's the case.

Just took my Spanish final yesterday. Got all of these except Barrio.

Dinero=Dinner. Dinner! Dinner!!! Oh right... oops.

I think festival (fiesta), granddaughter (niña), and area (barrio) are common enough to be included, they were all the first ones I thought of.

As a brazilian, 22/24 is a very good result!

pato. duck.

Good Quiz. The only thing I am wondering is which countrie's spanish this quiz came from? Mexico? Spain? Argentina? etc.

I'm Filipino and I got 19/24! Not bad I guess. I was surprised "barrio" was the least answered. Every Filipino would know what it means, though I think 'village' should also be accepted.

Can't "tarde" also mean evening?

It means afternoon, but QM has decided 'late' is more common. Probably right, given the common uses of (being) late and also (+ más) later.

no random at all

nice quiz :)
