I (Jensen) have been taking notes of new words I encounter during the week. You'll notice a few about food and others that are more practical for going out and about. Here are a few that I found during our first seven days.

Ajo - garlic

Alfombra - carpet

Carpincho - capybara (One of my dreams is to visit the part of the country where capybaras roam the towns freely)

Chaleco - vest

Cerdo - pork

Chomba - polo shirt

Cinta - tape

Graciosa - funny

Guita/plata/mango - money

Laguna - lake

Pásame la - send me, pass me

Plaza - small park

Cuiqui - scared

Rebaja - reduce price (key for a successful shopping trip)

Si querida - yes dear (a very important one that brings a certain look from B after each use)

Vivero - nursery garden

Test your knowledge with this quiz!

May your results be blessed:)
