Dear (Adjective)

Level 4:
Dear - Quierdo


This is a level four. These are either really tricky or actually require some knowledge of something Spanish to make the connection... as is the case here.

If you already know that "Quiero" means "I love / I care for / I want" (as in, "Yo quiero Taco Bell") then it's easy to see that Quierdo is merely a modified version of Quiero. In this case, changing it into an adjective, as in: "chica quierdo" (Dear girl).

Pronounced: "Key Air Doe"

Depend (Verb)

Level 2:
Depend - Depender


"-er" and "-ar" are popular verb endings in Spanish. Tack on "-er" to the English "Depend" and you get the Spanish version: "Depender".

Dictionary (Noun)

Level 2
Dictionary - Diccionario


Spoken aloud, the Spanish word for Dictionary pretty much sounds like "Dictionary-o."
The spelling is actually very similar, as well.
