Haven't studied much Spanish since mandatory schooling in my Elementary private school, but surprised to find out I got 100%. I'll need to relearn a bit since I'm going to go to the DR for a trip soon.
Great quiz! As a native Spanish speaker, I use “banana” and not “platano” because in many Latin American countries, platano refers to plantains and not bananas. Otherwise nice quiz ^^
Dutch has a similar thing. "Morgen" means both "morning" and "tomorrow", but "morning" can also be translated as "ochtend". "Tomorrow morning" is "morgenochtend".
"The Modern English words "morning" and "tomorrow" began in Middle English as morwening, developing into morwen, then morwe, and eventually morrow. English, unlike some other languages, has separate terms for "morning" and "tomorrow", despite their common root. Other languages, like Dutch, Scots and German, may use a single word – morgen – to signify both "morning" and "tomorrow"."
It's not wrong...but for consistency's sake maybe change pintar (verb, to paint) to pintura (noun, paint). All the other words are nouns, even words that have a verb form like lluvia (llover) and vida (vivir).
Most are nouns intentionally but I wanted to add a few verbs into many of the quizzes in this series. I've also added adjectives, adverbs, pronouns into several of them too.
then perhaps it is better to choose a word that does not mean both in english. I wanted to say or you could have displayed it as painting (as in, I am painting) but that creates a new problem haha. Well, just "to paint" then.
I took Spanish in school, so I knew a few of these. My rationale on the guesses were Madeira wine casks for wood, guerrilla tactics for war, lluvia for rain (based on lavar--to wash), leaving the onion by process of elimination.
At last! Thanks to your comment I now know guerrilla is related to the word for war. I always knew it had nothing to do with gorilla but never looked it up. I guessed Guerra from Picasso's painting Guernica.
I got all, don't ask me how. Don's speak a romance language. First half (of all the words, not in order I got them) was easy second half took a bit of thinking and assuring myself I got it right before clicking. But for pencil and wood I had no inkling. I would have guess rabbit or stone for the first and some sort of drink or handcrafted stuff for the second. But no such options, but I guessed right :)
