Yesterday's Word - Previous Words - Help

embarazada, adjective
pregnant

The ‘false friend’ that we will be looking at today is embarazada. Be careful not to use the word embarazada as a translation for embarrassed, or you probably will end up even more embarrassed than you were to begin with. Estoy embarazada means I’m pregnant. If you want to say I’m embarrassed, you should use the phrase me da vergüenza, or me da pena in most of Latin America. Compare these examples.

Estaba embarazada de cuatro meses.
She was four months pregnant.
quedar embarazada
to get pregnant
Me dio mucha vergüenza.
I was really embarrassed.
