Introduction
This dictionary has been designed to take account of your practical
needs. Unnecessary linguistic information has been avoided. The entries
are listed in alphabetical order regardless of whether the entry word is
printed in a single word or in two or more separate words. As the only
exception to this rule, a few idiomatic expressions are listed as main
entries alphabetically according to the most significant word of the
expression. When an entry is followed by sub-entries, such as expressions
and locutions, these, too, have been listed in alphabetical order .

Note that the alphabetical order in Spanish differs from our own in three cases:
ch, ll and n are considered independent letters and come after c, / and n,
respectively.

Guide to Pronunciation
Each main entry in this part of the dictionary is followed by a phonetic
transcription which shows you how to pronounce the words. This
transcription should be read as if it were English. It is based on Standard
British pronunciation, though we have tried to take account of General
American pronunciation also. Below, only those letters and symbols are
explained which we consider likely to be ambiguous or not immediately
understood.
The syllables are separated by hyphens, and stressed syllables are
printed in italics .
Of course, the sounds of any two languages are never exactly the same,
but if you follow carefully our indications, you should be able to
pronounce the foreign words in such a way that you'll be understood.
To make your task easier, our transcriptions occasionally simplify
slightly the sound system of the language while still reflecting the essen-
tial sound differences.
Consonants
bh a rather indecisive b, i.e. one verging on v
g always hard, as in go
g a g-sound where the tongue doesn’t quite close the air passage
between itself and the roof of the mouth, so that the escaping
air produces audible friction it is also on occasions pronounced
;
as an indecisive g
kh like g, but based on a k-sound; therefore hard and voiceless,
like ch in Scottish loch
I
y like Hi in million
s always hard, as in so
13
v
1) Raised letters (e.g. ay°°, -
ah) should be pronounced only fleetingly.
2) Spanish vowels (i.e. not diphthongs) are pure and fairly short. There-
fore, you should try to read a transcription like oa without moving
tongue or lips while pronouncing the sound.
Latin-American Pronunciation
Our transcriptions reflect the pronunciation of Castilian, the official
language of Spain. In Latin America, two of the Castilian sounds are
practically unknown
1) 11 word calle (which we represent by l y ) is usually pronounced
as in the
likeSpanish y (as in English yet) in the Rio de la Plata region, though,

Mini-Grammar
Articles
Nouns in Spanish are either masculine or feminine. Articles agree in gender and
number with the noun.
1. Definite article (the):
singular plural
Nouns
1. Most nouns which end in o are masculine. Those ending in a are generally feminine.
2.Normally, nouns which end in a vowel add s to form the plural; nouns ending in a
consonant add es.
To show possession, use the preposition de (of).
el fin de la fiesta the end of the party
el principio del* mes the beginning of the month
las maletas de los viajeros the travellers’ suitcases
los ojos de las ninas the girls’ eyes
la habitacion de Roberto Robert’s room
Adjectives
1. Adjectives agree with the noun in gender and number. If the masculine form ends in
o the feminine ends in a. As a rule, the adjective comes after the noun.
el nino pequeno the small boy
la nina pequeha the small girl
If the masculine form ends in e or with a consonant, the feminine keeps in general the
same form.
el muro/la casa grande the big wall/house
el mar/la flor azul the blue sea/flower
2. Most adjectives form their plurals in the same way as nouns,
un coche ingles an English car
dos coches ingleses two English cars
3. Possessive adjectives: They agree with the thing possessed, not with the possessor.
my mi mis
your (fam.) tu tus
your (polite form) su sus
his/her/its su sus
our nuestro(a) nuestros(as)
your vuestro(a) vuestros(as)
their su sus
4. Comparative and superlative: These are formed by adding mas (more) or menos
(less) and lo mas or lo menos, respectively, before the adjective.
alto high mas alto lo mas alto
Adverbs
These are generally formed by adding -mente to the feminine form of the adjective (if it
differs from the masculine); otherwise to the masculine.
Possessive pronouns
sing. plur.
Demonstrative pronouns
masc. fern. neut.
The above masculine and feminine forms are also used as demonstrative adjectives, but
accents are dropped. The two forms for “that” designate difference in place; ese means
“that one”, aquel “that one over there”.
I yo me me
you tu te te
you usted lo le
he el lo le
she ella la le
it el/ella lo/la le
we nosotros(as) nos nos
you vosotros(as) os os
ustedes los les
they ellos(as) los les
Subject pronouns are generally omitted, except in the polite form (usted, ustedes)
which corresponds to “you”. Tu (sing.) and vosotros (plur.) are used when talking to
relatives, close friends and children and between young people; usted and the plural
ustedes (often abbreviated to Vd./Vds.) are used in all other cases.
Negatives
Negatives are formed by placing no before the verb.
Es nuevo. It’s new. No es nuevo. It’s not new.
Questions
In Spanish, questions are often formed by changing the intonation of your voice. Very
often, the personal pronoun is left out, both in affirmative sentences and in questions.
Auxiliary verbs
The verb to have is translated either by haber or by tener. Haber is the auxiliary
(e.g. he has gone) and tener (see list of irregular verbs) is a transitive verb,
which conveys the idea of possession (e.g. she has a house).
The verb to be is translated either by ser or estar. Ser is used as an auxiliary
verb to form the passive (e.g. they are understood) and to express an intrinsic
quality of a fundamental characteristic (e.g. man is mortal). Estar (see list of
irregular verbs) expresses a state or an attitude, whether lasting or not, of a thing
or a person (e.g. she is hungry).
Irregular verbs
Below islist of the verbs and tenses commonly used in spoken Spanish. In the
a
listing, a)stands for the present tense, b) for the imperfect, c) for the past def.,
d) for the future, e) for the present participle and 0 for the past participle. The
162
only forms given below are the irregular ones commonly used. There can be
other irregular forms, but they are considered rare. In tenses other than present,
all persons can be regularly formed from the first person. Unless otherwise
indicated, verbs with prefixes {ad-, ante-, coni-, con-, de-, des-, dis-, en-, ex-, ini-,
pos-, pre-, pro-, re-, sobre-, sub-, tras-, etc.) are conjugated like the stem verb.

Introduction
Este diccionario ha sido concebido para resolver de la mejor manera
posible sus problemas practicos de lenguaje. Se han suprimido las
informaciones linguisticas innecesarias. Los vocablos se suceden en un
estricto orden alfabetico, sin tener en cuenta si la palabra es simple o
compuesta, o si se trata de una expresion formada por dos o mas
terminos separados. Como unica excepcion, algunas expresiones idio-
maticas estan colocadas en orden alfabetico, considerando para ello la
palabra mas caracteristica. Cuando un termino principal va seguido de
otras palabras, expresiones o locuciones, estas se hallan anotadas tam-
bien en orden alfabetico.
Cada palabra va seguida de una transcripcion fonetica (vease la guia
de pronunciacion). Despues de la transcripcion fonetica se encuentra
una indicacion de la parte de la oracion a la que pertenece el vocablo.
Cuando una palabra puede desempenar distintos oficios en la oracion,
las diferentes traducciones se dan una a continuation de la otra, precedi-
das de la indicacion correspondiente.
Se indica el plural de los nombres cuando son irregulares y en algunos
otros casos dudosos.
Cuando haya que repetir una palabra para formar el plural irregular
o en las series de palabras se usa la tilde (~ ) para representar el vocablo
principal.
En los plurales irregulares de las palabras compuestas solo se escribe
la parte que cambia, mientras que laparte invariable se representa por
un guion (-).
Unasterisco (*) colocado antes de un verbo indica que dicho verbo es
irregular. Para mas detalles puede consultar la lista de los verbos
irregulares.
Las palabras de este diccionario estan escritas en su forma inglesa. La
forma y significado americanos estan senalados como tales (vease la lista
de abreviaturas empleadas en el texto).
186
Guia de pronunciation
Cada vocablo principal de esta parte del diccionario va acompanado
de una transcription fonetica destinada a indicar la pronunciation.
Esta representation fonetica debe leerse como si se tratara del idioma
espanol hablado en Castilla. A continuation figuran tan solo las letras
y los simbolos ambiguos o particularmente dificiles de comprender.
Cada silaba esta separada por un guion y la que lleva el acento esta
impresa en letra bastardilla.
Por supuesto, los sonidos de dos lenguas rara vez coinciden exacta-
mente, pero siguiendo con atencion nuestras explicaciones, el lector de
habla espanola llegara a pronunciar las palabras extranjeras de manera
que pueda ser comprendido. A fin de facilitar su tarea, algunas veces
nuestras transcripciones simplifican ligeramente el sistema fonetico del
idioma, sin dejar por ello de reflejarlas diferencias de sonido esenciales.
Consonantes
b como en bueno
d como en dia
d como d en ruido
d3 como la 11 argentina, precedida por una d
gh como g en gato
h sonido que es una espiracion suave
ng como n en bianco
3 como la 11 argentina

Vocales y diptongos
e como e en saber
o como o en por
3) Algunas palabras inglesas toman del frances las vocales nasales, que
estan indicadas con un simbolo de vocal mas «g (por ej.: a«g). Este
signo fig- no se debe pronunciar y solo sirve para indicar la nasalidad
de la vocal precedente. Las vocales nasales se pronuncian con la boca
y la nariz simultaneamente.

palabras como duty, tune, new, etc., el sonido y se omite a menudo
antes de uu.

El articulo
El articulo determinado (el, la, los, las) tiene una sola forma: the.
El articulo indeterminado (un, una, unos, unas) tiene dos formas: a se usa cuando
precede a sonidos consonantes; an antes de sonidos vocales.
a coat un abrigo an umbrella un paraguas an hour una hora
Plurales
El plural de la mayor parte de los nombres se forma anadiendo ~(e)s al singular. Segiin
el sonido final del singular, el plural se pronuncia -ss o -so -is (que forma una silaba
extra).
cup — cups (taza — tazas) dress — dresses (vestido — vestidos)
Los plurales siguientes son irregulares:
man — men (hombre/s) foot— feet (pie/s)
woman — women (mujer/es) tooth— teeth (diente/s)
child — children (nino/s) mouse — mice (ratones/es)
El posesivo
1. Si el poseedor es una persona: los nombres en singular y los plurales que no terminan
en -s afiaden !s.
Adjetivos
Los adjetivos preceden normalmente al nombre.
a large brown suitcase una maleta marron grande
El comparative y el superlativo de los adjetivos se pueden formar de dos maneras:
1. Los adjetivos monosilabos y muchos adjetivos bisilabos anaden -(e)r y -(e)st.
Singular
1? persona I me my mine
2? persona you you your yours
3? persona (m) he him his his
(0 she her her hers
(") it it its
-
Plural
1? persona we us our ours
2? persona you you vour yours
3? persona they they their theirs
Nota: en ingles' you es tanto singular como plural. No existe la distincion como en
espanol entre «tu» y «usted».
El caso acusativo se usa tambien para el complemento indirecto y antes de las preposi-
ciones.
Give it to me. Damelo.
He came with us. £l vino con nosotros.
La forma 1 del posesivo se usa antes del nombre, la forma 2 se usa sola.
Where’s my key? ^Donde esta mi Have?
That’s not mine. Esa no es rma.
Verbos
La misma forma que el infinitivo para todas las personas excepto la 3? persona dei
forma anadiendo ~(e)s al infinitivo.
