Learn some of the 30 MOST USED SPANISH WORDS by watching the video below.<\/h2>\n

1 . Imp\u00edo (m) \/ Imp\u00eda (f) <\/h2>\n

Meaning: Impious: means not respectful or reverent, especially towards religious authority or belief.<\/p>\n

\"IMPIO\"<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Dadivoso (m) \/ dadivosa (f) <\/h2>\n

Meaning: Generous. This fancy Spanish word can just as easily be replaced by much more common, less beautiful-sounding synonyms like generoso or abundante.<\/p>\n

\"DADIVOSO\"<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Orate <\/h2>\n

Meaning: Madman: A really uncommon word that refers to a crazy person.<\/p>\n

\"ORATE\"<\/span><\/p>\n

4. D\u00e9dalo <\/h2>\n

Meaning: Maze, labyrinth. This isn\u2019t something you would hear everyday, but it\u2019s a beautiful word that comes from \u201cDaedalus\u201d, the maker of the Labyrinth in Greek mythology.<\/p>\n

\"DEDALO\"<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Execrable<\/h2>\n

Meaning: Appalling, atrocious. Some people would just be contented with saying antip\u00e1tico or desagradable to describe something unpleasant, but for something so reprehensible, this word says it best.<\/p>\n

\"EXECRABLE\"<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Et\u00e9reo (m) \/ Et\u00e9rea (f) <\/h2>\n

Meaning: Ethereal. This word is just as wonderful as its English counterpart and evokes an imagery of something as intangible and delicate as it sounds.  <\/p>\n

\"ETEREO\"<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Petricor<\/h2>\n

That delightful smell of rain touching the ground\u2026 Can you smell it in your imagination?  That\u2019s petricor.<\/p>\n

\"PETRICOR\"<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Ef\u00edmero (m) \/ Ef\u00edmera (f)<\/h2>\n

Ephemeral. Another beautiful word in both English and Spanish, this refers to something fleeting or short-lived.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

9. Perenne <\/h2>\n

Means: Perennial. This word rarely appears in everyday speech and is often replaced with the more common \u201cpermanente.\u201d But it\u2019s a more poetic way to say something is everlasting.<\/p>\n

\"PERENNE\"<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Inefable<\/h2>\n

Ineffable. Something that cannot be expressed or described, something unutterable or that simply cannot be spoken because of its sacredness. It\u2019s inefable.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"INEFABLE\"<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Inmarcesible<\/h2>\n

Means: Unfathomable, everlasting, undying, unfading. This word is also used to describe a flower that doesn\u2019t wither.<\/p>\n

\"INMARCESIBLE\"<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Serendipia <\/h2>\n

Means: Serendipity.  That amazing happenstance when you come across something totally unexpected. Just like its English version, it\u2019s a lovely word.<\/p>\n

\"SERNDIPIA\"<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Adem\u00e1n <\/h2>\n

Means: Gesture. You can just as easily say \u201cgesto\u201d to describe the gestures and actions people make when they talk. But if you\u2019re feeling fancy, adem\u00e1n is the word for you.<\/p>\n

\"ADEMAN\"<\/span><\/p>\n

14. Ataraxia <\/h2>\n

Ataraxia. A state of serene calmness; a mood of total quietness and peace.<\/p>\n

\"ATARAXIA\"<\/span><\/p>\n

15. Inconmensurable <\/h2>\n

Means: Immeasurable. It\u2019s unfathomable, boundless, incalculable. In Spanish, you say, inconmensurable.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"INCONMENSURABLE\"<\/span><\/p>\n

16. Ornitorrinco<\/h2>\n

Means: Platypus. Don\u2019t you just love how the word “Ornitorrinco” rolls off in your tongue? This word is already long and playful, but it seems to suit perfectly the animal it names: a mammal that lives underwater and also has a duck beak.<\/p>\n

\"ORNITORRINCO\"<\/span><\/p>\n

17. Pavonearse<\/h2>\n

Means: Strutting around like a peacock. There is no exact word for this in English, but when someone struts around like they own the place, it\u2019s called pavonearse<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"PAVONEARSE\"<\/span><\/p>\n

18. Mu\u00e9rgano (m) \/ Mu\u00e9rgana (f)<\/h2>\n

This may be a beautiful word, but this uncommon adjective refers to someone mean-spirited; an ill-willed person with bad intentions.<\/p>\n

\"MUERGANO\"<\/span><\/p>\n

19. Dilapidar <\/h2>\n

This verb means “to squander”.  There are much more familiar terms that mean the same such as “malgastar,” but dilapidar<\/em> is a more fancy way to say to waste or throw away money.<\/p>\n

\"Dilapidar\"<\/span><\/p>\n

20. Verg\u00fcenza Ajena<\/h2>\n

Meaning: to feel embarrassed for someone. There is no exact counterpart to this word in English, but I know you know the feeling. That extreme embarrassment you feel for somebody else? The Spanish call it Verg\u00fcenza Ajena.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Verguenza<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span><\/span>\n
