Donde esta la biblioteca? Also... is "tu" really not on here? How is that possible?

finished with 78th percentile. Not terrible I guess considering I haven't had any reason to practice my Spanish in about 10 years.

Step one: take the quiz

Step two: get 40%

Step three: see all answers

Step four: Smack your head for 1 hour

If you followed these steps... you are human.

As a fan of Bumblebee Man, I'm disappointed that "ay, caramba" did not make the list.

Don't worry, that's about as good as I did the first time taking the english version of this test. It's hard to think of what words are most common in general.

I got 61, which doesn't seem too bad for a non-speaker--I had Spanish in high school, but was never fluent and haven't used it at all in the dozen or so years since then.

Man, I'm a native Spanish speaker, and did better in "Most common words in English" than on this one...

El inglés tiene, con diferencia, muchísimo menos vocabulario que el español, quizás sea por eso jajaja A mi también me fue mejor el quiz en inglés

we don't use i that much, only in very formal scenarios. It's more extended in Latin America

I'm not very good at these. I did rather poorly at the English version too. The problem with the most common words is you use them so unthinkingly. I was kicking myself when I saw the obvious ones I'd missed.

Two years late on this one, but it's probably because all these studies about the most common words base themselves on written texts (most of them not written in such a way that you could address someone directly by saying "Hello"). It would be interesting to see what different words could come up if you were to make this study with the most spoken words in a language (I don't know how you could measure that, but it would be really cool).

if it was spoken Spanish there would be some words in it like "jo-er" - probably in the top 10!

No sombrero, cerveza, tequila, fajjito, queso, ok I'll stop, now Im hungry...

The most guessed are one and two letter words. That is a good reflections of how I did. Most were random guesses and happy accidents... (at one point just tries two letter combos.. bo bi ba be, lo, li la le...)

surprisingly how low nada is btw, One of the words many people DO know even if they dont really know spanish. That is nearly the only word I know (besides the ones written above, food(stuff) that hails from spanish speaking countries) ) also know si, nina, yo, that about it...

Though if i see it written I can guess a lot since I do know a little bit of french, so if there is an resemblence I can guess. but not if i have to produce the spanish myself
