[@garyfontenot2786]

I'm jealous of your pronunciation with the Spanish language. I cannot roll an 'R' to save my life. I've wondered if there were Hispanics who could not roll their 'R'.

[@TheMule71]

It's funny, some of those words are false friends in Italian too. Imbarazzata = Embarrassed Polla doesn't exists in Italian (at least not with that meaning and it's a rare world), we have pollo which means chicken (hen would be gallina) Largo is extremely interesting, we have the same word but it means wide, not long. This makes it a tri-lingual false friend. We have esito instead of exito, but it just mean "outcome" (it could be good or bad), and is often associated with a test or exam of some kind. We don't have hipo or hippo. Hippo would be ippopotamo (we don't shorten it). We also have ippo- as a prefix, and it can used to form words related to horses. Ippica = horse riding/racing Ippodromo = Hippodrome The video is great!

[@AntonXul]

@@garyfontenot2786 The Hispanic people that can’t roll the “R” tend to be those born in the United States, but didn’t learn Spanish from their parents. This is actually quite common as more Hispanic people are now 2nd and 3rd generation born in the U. S. and are taught Spanish later on in high school.

[@elsamayo_]

As a Spaniard, the false friend that impacted me the most when learning English was "sensitive" and "sensible", which in Spanish are "sensato" and "sensible", the only thing is that their meaning is crossed. They would translate like this: Sensitive (in English) --> sensible (in Spanish) Sensible (in English) --> sensato (in Spanish)

@@shrektheswampless6102 I could totally see how both meanings come from the same origin. Like you have an open container that you fill with water. And a big glass and a small vase can basically be used interchangeably. Perhaps the latin root was indeed a word for both.

[@TheOGJeff]

As an American, I would say large usually means wide. It would be understood if used for long, but people in my area will mostly use the words "tall" or "long" when talking about something that is tall or long. Unless whatever is being talked about is actually both, but then I think a lot of people would say "big" and "tall" instead of "large"

[@eduardovelazquez638]

The word 'largo' can also be used to say someone to go away: "¡largo de aquí! = get out of here!"

Christina is back! I'm glad to see her. She is beautiful and her reactions are fun to see🙌

[@PedroHawk1]

The word "embarrassing" seems to have come from Portuguese "embaraçoso", which has the same meaning. The issue is that the word has since been deprecated in Portuguese. It's seen as archaic or overly formal to use "embaraçoso" instead of "vegonhoso", these days.

[@QwertyUiop-bs2zr]

In Spanish we have the archaic verb Exir which means "to exit". Literally no one uses the verb anymore. The English equivalet, exit, stems from the same root as Exir, that is, Latin.

There was no need to put the word "polla", since in Spanish there is the same word polar and with the same meaning, for example, "oso polar ", "clima polar", "hoy hace un frio polar", etc. And the Spanish word that most closely resembles embarrased is not "embarazada" but "embarazoso".
