Hello, Folks!
This week we will see some words with similar spelling, but complete different meanings. These tricky words are called "False Cognates" or "False Friends."
Take note:
In Spanish, when a woman is PREGNANT, we use the word... EMBARAZADA.
However, when someone feels EMBARRASSED, we use the word... AVERGONZADO.
Summarizing:
EMBARAZADA = PREGNANT
AVERGONZADO = EMBARRASSED
Examples:
La mujer embarazada estaba AVERGONZADA.
The pregnant woman was EMBARRASSED.
El dóctor estaba AVERGONZADO porque no hablaba español.
The doctor was EMBARRASSED because he did not speak Spanish
