The Spanish also have the same word for borrow/lend
and why/because and alone/lonely

There is no word for “compromise” in Spanish —
which should tell you something.

But language is more than vocabulary words — it’s sage.
There are phrases I use in Spanish that would sound very corny in English, and I find over and over and over again that’s it’s sooo easy to offend Spanish speakers by asking a direct question of giving a straightforward, unembellished answer — they find that rude.

sorry — bad typing — it shoud read:

But language is more than vocabulary words — it’s usage.

[Verginius Rufus]

In Spanish instead of saying "you're pulling my leg" they say "you're pulling my hair."

Which makes me wonder if baldness is more common in Spanish-speaking countries than in English-speaking countries.

There is no word for “compromise” in Spanish — which should tell you something.

And the French words for "victory" and "surrender" are identical --

"Au secours!"
