Spanish Made Easy – Unlock Your Hidden Knowledge. Part 1
You might not realize it but you already know hundreds, if not thousands, of Spanish words? In these articles we will highlight all the ways in which the English and Spanish languages share hundreds of words, words that you will be able to use every day.
Ible And Able Words
Any English that ends in ABLE or IBLE has a Spanish counterpart will almost always be the same.
As an example favorable, formidable, considerable, admirable and honorable all have the same in meanings in both languages.
This also applies to the IBLE words, words like combustible, comestible, horrible, terrible and impossible. What is also worth noting is that if the word can be split by the removal of the suffix (take the ible away from terrible and you have terror or able away from honorable to leave honor) then the start of word can be used in Spanish as well.
The words may be spelled the same in both languages and have the same normal ( normal is an English/Spanish word) meaning they are pronounced differently. A guide on how to pronounce Spanish words can be found in later articles.
