Spanish Homework features Spanish Word of the Week, an instructional piece of hand-chosen Spanish for the everyday student. Today’s SWOTW is a good one!

Spanish Word of the Week

Our SWOTW feature was out for a while but we’re glad to be back and here we go:

Diafragma
(deea-freag-moa)

Diaphragm

Translation:
Muscular partition separating the thorax from the abdomen in mammals.

Sample Sentence:
“Para poder cantar bien, la voz tiene que resonar en el diafragma”
“In order to sing well, the voice has to reverb through the diaphragm”

Notice how both words are written. Pronunciation is similar.

Ohhh well, certainly these are troubled financial times. And today’s spanish word of the week is a familiar one.

Caos
(cow-os)

Chaos

Translation:
Undefined state suposed to preceed the order of the cosmos. Confusion or disorder. Unpredictable and erratic behavior of some dinamic systems.

Sample sentence:
“En ese pequeño pais de Africa reina el caos y parece que no va a cambiar”

The word has a similar conjugation in both languages. It’s used to denote “dramatic” state of disorder.

Spanish Word of the Week

So, we start today’s word of the week segment of our blog by welcoming back all students. Summer’s over and you all know what that means…… back to work!

We will soon have a audible word of the week segment as part of our Spanishomework.com list of services; so stay tuned.

Today’s word of the week is:
Fungir
(phoon-heer)

Translation
To exercise a position or job

Sample sentence:
Mi tío Jorge empezará a fungir como secretario de nuestra organización el próximo martes.

Uncle George will start to exercise as our organization’s secretary next tuesday.

Notice how “fungir” is specifically descriptive of the verb “ejercer” or to exercise. Remember that Spanish is so broad that there’s many approved words that describe the same thing.
