Object (Verb)

Level 1:
Object - Objetar


This is probably a Level 2, as there is a dropped letter from the root of the word. Take the English word, drop the "c" and add an "-ar" to the end and add a small accent difference and you've go the Spanish version. This may be more difficult to see than nouns, since verbs can have several different endings, based on noun subject agreement.

As you can see in the spelling, the "c" in the English version of the word is not present in the Spanish spelling, "Objetar." Also note, the "j" is spoken as an English "h".

Pronounced: "ob-HAY-tar"

Opposite (Adjective)

Level 4:
Opposite - Contrario


This would have been a Level 1 if "Contrary" were more popular in the English language. Regardless, Something that is contrary to something else is its opposite. That's something that is familiar in English and unites the words "Opposite" and "Contrario." The "-io" ending is an adjective ending.

Pronounced: "con TRAR ee oh"
