Spanish Word of the Day
Tuesday, July 9, 2013
zapato, noun
shoe
shoe
When we’re talking about clothing in English we tend to use words like ‘my’, ‘your’, ‘his’. But in Spanish these words are usually translated by the definite article, in this case el or los:
zapatos de tacón
high-heel shoes
zapatos planos
flat shoes
zapatos de piso
flat shoes
The same thing applies when you’re talking about parts of the body:
Se puso los zapatos.
She put on her shoes.
Se está lavando la cabeza.
She’s washing her hair.
