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”
“That small African country is ruled by chaos and it seems that is not going to change”

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