hi guys my name is Kat and today I'm gonna share with you 10 of the most
common English word that I use that do not exist in the Spanish language I have
been studying Spanish for some time now and there are lots of words I cannot
pronounce correctly even after living in Spain for three years if you want to
check out that video click here ok let's go
the first word is Soggy. Soggy is such a great word
it is not blandito . Soggy is what happens to food when it in encounters
water. For example if you leave your cereal soaking in soymilk for 20 minutes
that is soggy your sofa cannot be soggy that is blondo and a sponge can never
be soggy either this is a word that I use constantly to talk about you can't
put the tomatoes in the fridge with oil because the next day it will be soggy
the second word is to hump, to hump someone or something
this action is humping
To hump, you can translate this word to a hacer un movimiento como follar but
there's not an exact word for this motion humping doesn't necessarily mean
that you are having intercourse it doesn't mean that you even have your
clothes off it's this this motion of doing this which is to hump, to hump
something. a dog can hump something a person can hump something a person can
hump a couch a person can hump pretty much anything
anything could be humped my third word is wiggle this is wiggle to wiggle just
like the song wiggle a bit some people can translate this to my maneo o manear
but it's different you can move your hips in a way of manear, manear la cadera
but you cannot wiggle your hips it's this emotion some people also
tried to translate it to mover el cuerpo. but it's not exactly move moving
the body it's the specific way that you're moving your body that is wiggle
so I say this a lot with my kids that I teach stop wiggling around on the floor
it's literally this motion that they're doing on the floor
my fourth word is snack any person that is living in the 21st century probably
knows what this word is but there is not an exact translation to the word snack
in the Spanish language some people say para picar or picoteo but it's a little
different when you want just to snack at a restaurant you can say I just want a
snack it just means you just want a little bit of something like a bag of
chips or just a peanut butter and jelly sandwich part of being a pretzel and I
hear a lot Spanish people say you don't snack because it just it's it's a little
different it's not an exact translation to the word so now also in English you
can say oh I feel so bloated I've been snacking all day that means literally
you just been eating little junk food all day like bags a chip maybe some
chocolate that is to snack. my fifth word biased I literally see this word all day
long probably at least a thousand times a day I say the word biased
some people say bias is prejuicio or parcialidad but bias is different from
prejudice if a person with the green hat Robs your house and then after that you
have prejudice that people with green hats rob houses but that's not
necessarily to have a biased I can have a bias of something because I have maybe
more experience with that that's maybe the only type of thing I've seen you can
say all day long Nebraska is the best state that you can be from because I am
from Nebraska that is a bias my sixth word is to procrastinate I'm sure you
have maybe heard this before but this is such a great word it's just
such a great word I've heard people say Procrastinar but it's a little bit
different because you can say procrastinar in Spanish and it doesn't
mean something negative whereas in English procrastinate literally mean you
put this thing off into the last moment and that's why it didn't get done
postpone it is to put off but in English procrastinate is always a negative
connotation which in Spanish it just does not exist my second word and
probably one of my favorites on this list is to spoon this is to spoon this
is such a great word it's just this moment you people cuddly like this it is
not exactly cuddling you can literally spoon with anybody you can spoon with
someone you don't even know you can spoon with a friend you can spoon with
your mom that's a little weird but you can do that spooning it like a
very innocent essentially action and it's just lovely my eighth word is
potluck potluck for me is an amazing word it's literally a party and everyone
brings their own food just to share with everybody if you say potluck with
anything you don't have to tell anybody they have to bring
they already know it is such a great word you don't have to specify like " Oh vamos a tener una fiesta en casa y todo el mundo tiene que llevar comida."
it's we're gonna have a potluck this weekend if everybody already knows they
have to bring food my ninth word is to stock this word can
be very important to use in English if you have somebody but will just not
leave you alone I heard people tried to translate this to Assad but I think that
is very like taking it from the English language and just making it Spanish doc
it's like a person that will try to follow you to call you to get in contact
with you and they will not leave you on so I'd say my ex will not stop stalking
me that means if I go to work he's at work
waiting for me if I'm driving home he's driving behind me I go outside to my
balcony to put up my clothes and I can see him down at the first floor staring
up at me taking pictures of my house that is to stalk if you go to the police
and say this person is stalking you me they already know that this person is
following you this person is a crazy psycho and this person needs to be
arrested my tenth word is to hustle. I love this word if you have a trip planned to go
one month traveling throughout Africa you can say man I need to hustle this
month because I have this big trip you need to be putting in more hours working
Saturdays working nights you need to be trying to get that money so you can afford your
trip to get money quickly any way possible it doesn't matter the time and
the effort you do what you have to do to get that money my eleventh word that I
just cannot believe doesn't exist in the Spanish language is the word mean you
have simpatico oh and you have antipático but in Spain for whatever
reason nobody said antipatico you say se comporto muy mal conmigo she was
very bad with me but the word mean as in he's a mean person or she said something
mean to me doesn't really exist do you translate that okay that's all I
