Debbie in Chile: January 2010

Word swap

I´m going to be here in Brazil for a while so I´ve decided to tell you a little about Portuguese to Spanish to English word swapping.

#1

English Portuguese Spanish

1. CUP COPO VASO

2. VASE VASO FLORERO

3. MUG XICARA TAZA

4. GLASS TAZA COPA

As you may have noticed the words in the same row mean the same thing but the columns are just for languages. So, if you look carefully, in this example there are similar words (especialy from spanish to portuguese and vice versa) that mean completely different things.
