A street is a road. Accept road.

But road isn't correct. The Spanish word for road is carretera, as far as I was taught in school.

Saw Panadería, thought, that's a place that sells bread. So... bread store? bread shop? Is there an English name for this? Hmm, nope, can't think of one. bread market? breadket? breadery?

I'd have said 'Baker' as the 'y' seems to have dropped out of common usage these days. However, 'baker' wasn't a write in and probably should have been, even though it's a noun.

Isn't a baker a person though, not a place?

Level 68

A baker works at a bakery. The "y" hasn't dropped out; you're referring to two different words.

Bakery, In England we use bakery. it still exists

People sometimes say going to the baker or something along those lines but that’s referring to baker the person, not a change in spelling.

True, Panaderia is Spanish for bread store, but it takes it as bakery. Should make it Pasteleria, as that basically covers all pastry.

Baño -- bath, pool, bathhouse, beach?, bathtub? AARRGH!

Level 73
Feb 20, 2019
It actually can mean bath, bathtub, or "washing place," not necessarily bathroom as in toilet. At least that is what I have been told by native Spanish speakers.

Got everything except the least guessed answer (Puente). Though I haven't had a Spanish class in 8 years. Hurrah.

Maybe that's because the Spanish word for Bridge is Ponte, not Puente.

Only missed puente and never had a spanish lesson, in most you can recognize the English counterpart and casa and playa are quite common knowledge, Pana-something I got because when out for lunch, petit pains is one of the types of bread you have to choose from.

It's theatre, not theater.
+3
Level ∞
Jun 13, 2019
In the U.S. we generally spell it theater, although some people like to spell it theatre if they are trying to signal higher class status. Same with gray/grey.
+1
Level 37
Jun 13, 2019
It is my understanding that Theatre is universal. As to the Gray/Gray debate: "Gray" is the color of material, furniture, clothing, etc., while "Grey" is the color of one's hair. At least that was what I was taught when learning English.

Level 89
Aug 14, 2019
I’ve seen it spelled both ways. I always thought “theater” was like a movie theater and “theatre” was like a term for plays.
+1
Level 82
Nov 22, 2019
Theater/theatre: what Quizmaster said. And since going to a play is considered more upper class than going to a movie, often what Jacktheguy said, too.

Gray/grey: I've seen them used interchangeably with no connotation connected to either regarding class or meaning.

Not sure what diva was taught, but I'm sure he wasn't one of my students.

theater - theatre is similar to center - centre. US vs UK. In Canada we use both interchangeably but some will argue one is for movies and the other plays. As for gray vs grey; I've always thought that to be another US vs UK spelling.

Only got 15/24, but surprised how few people got 'Puente' – it's very similar to 'Ponte' in Italian, meaning 'bridge'.
+1
Level 81
May 30, 2023
Why would people be more likely to know an Italian word? It's a far less known and spoken language than Spanish. 85 million speak Italian 486 million speak Spanish natively, and I would guess the non-native speakers are similarly distant from each other.

Level 39
Dec 19, 2019
Same here. Flew through the rest and eventually just gave up on puente after "point" "viewpoint" and other variations didn't work... Oh well, at least all those years of Spanish classes taught me at least 23 words :)

Sep 3, 2020
Yea, got them all. Lived in Central and South America for 8 years, so it would be shameful to miss any! The most interesting one though was "puente" that gave people trouble.That one was still in my mind from 1952 when my family drove to Mexico CIty for Christmas. I memorized the road signs which not infrequently included "Puente Angosta" "Narrow Bridge." In those days there were not always puentes built to cross the rivers. We had to drive onto a ferry which was pulled across by men with ropes.

Very strict translations, for words that can have different meanings...

Got full score nonetheless.

My personal wish would be to allow the entry: baño -> bath.

pueblo also means "folk" or "people(s)", not just village

"Pueblo" can also be "town". I'd say "village" would more correctly translate "aldea", but they're all rather vague terms.
