Discover Spanish, Lesson 6





Adiós - Goodbye

Hasta mañana - See you tomorrow

Hasta pronto - See you soon

Hasta la vista - See you later

Hasta luego - See you later

(Note:  hasta means until)

Nos vemos - We'll see each other

Chao! - Bye!

Buen viaje - Have a good trip

Que te diviertas - Have fun

Mi corazón - My heart

Mi amor - My love

Mi vida - My life

We learned about cognates this week, which are words in Spanish that are spelled almost identically as the same word in English, such as television, and dentista (dentist), educación (education), oportunidad (opportunity), farmacia (pharmacy), hotel, hospital, restaurante (restaurant), carro (car).

Embarazada is an example of a false cognate, or a word that sounds like a word in English, but doesn't correspond to the English word's meaning - you would think embarazada means embarassed, right?  It actually means pregnant!
