utina (routine)
Cognate
The word rutina looks and sounds similar to the English word routine. That’s because it’s a cognate
or cognado.
Cognates are words in two languages that look and sound similar and have the same origin and meaning.
Since there are thousands of English-Spanish cognates, you probably know more Spanish than you think.
#amazing
r
opa (clothing)
False Cognate
Always check for false cognates or cognados falsos.
Ropa looks and sounds similar to the English word rope but it actually means clothing.
These words look and sound similar, but they don’t have the same meaning.
You will often see a cognates box with your new vocabulary. It is important that you learn these words
right along with the vocabulary and write them in your note guide. Don’t worry, you’ll get the hang of this
new rutina.
non-reflexive
You already know that the verb lavar by itself means to wash, like to wash the dishes or wash the dog.
lavar: to wash
reflexive
But when we add the se at the end, it becomes lavarse, to wash oneself.
lavarse: to wash oneself
So, since you're probably old enough to wash your own hair, you would conjugate lavarse to say: me
lavo el pelo. (I wash my hair.)
With reflexive verbs, we change the se (known as a reflexive pronoun) to show who is doing the action to
himself. Don’t forget to still conjugate the -ar, -er, or -ir ending of the verb!
1. 1
2. 2
Drop the -ar, -er, or -ir ending and drop the -se ending. lavarse lav
3. 3Add the correct ending to the stem for the subject (that’s the person doing the action)
yo (I) -o
tú (you) -as
él/ella/usted (he/she/you formal) -a
For now, let’s just focus on the yo and tú forms of reflexive verbs. Don’t worry, we’ll cover the other forms
of reflexive verbs in another lesson!
yo
Me lavo (I wash myself)
tú
Te lavas (you wash yourself)
What makes these yo-go verbs unique is that they add a -go in the yo form. For example:
¡Yo tengo mucha prisa!
(I’m in a hurry!)
Yo me pongo el cinturón.
(I put on the belt.)
You will be using me pongo with things like shoes and clothes. When was the last time you reviewed your
clothing vocabulary? If it was more than two weeks ago, here’s a review of some clothing words that will
help you use ponerse.

MAARIT: Hi, I'm Maarit, and welcome to Xcanatun, which means "the greatest town in the world!" Just
kidding; it doesn't mean that, but it's definitely my favorite city in Mexico. But I was born here, so maybe
I'm a little biased! For a small town, Xcanatun has an amazing history that goes back thousands of years.
Let me give you a tour!
This is where I live. The walls of my house are made from stones that were found in the area. They were
once used by an ancient Maya tribe to build their beautiful temples and carvings. Through these stones I
feel connected to my remarkable ancestors.
My family tends animals and farms the land. We grow sweet potatoes, corn, beans, chilies, and squash,
just as our Maya ancestors have been doing for thousands of years. Every day I get up at six-fifteen a.m.
to feed the chickens, and if I forget, the rooster reminds me. Thankfully, feeding the chickens has its
rewards like fresh eggs with beans and rice every morning.
After breakfast, I go inside and wash and get dressed for school. Our house is small, so this is where we
wash up, cook, sleep, and work. This is also where I do my homework in the afternoon.
Our village's main language is Spanish. The Yucatec Mayan language is still spoken by the elders, but
my friends and I know just a few words. This is my friend, Xoc.
(BEGIN CONVERSATION)
XOC: Bix a beel, Maarit? Translates to "How are you, Maarit?"
MAARIT: Ma'alobi! Translates to "I am well!"
MAARIT: Este es mi amigo, Xoc. Translates to "This is my friend, Xoc."
XOC: ¿Te estás hablando sola otra vez? Translates to "Are you talking to yourself again?"
MAARIT: Jaja, no. Buenos días, Xoc. Translates to "Ha ha; no. Good morning, Xoc."
XOC: Espero que no estés de perezosa esta mañana. Ya sabes que las clases empiezan a las ocho en
punto. Translates to "I hope you're not being lazy this morning. You know school starts right at 8 a.m."
MAARIT: Me despierto a las seis y cuarto de la mañana, hago mis quehaceres, desayuno … me lavo y
me visto. ¡Soy toda menos perezosa! Translates to "I wake up at 6:15 a.m., do my chores, I eat
breakfast, wash up and get dressed. I am anything but lazy!"
XOC: ¡Ya! ¡Entiendo! Pero si no dejas de hablar, ¡vamos a llegar tarde! Translates to "Ok, I get it! But if
you keep talking, we're going to be late!"
¡Buenas tardes, amigos! Me llamo Yatzil, tengo 14 años y vivo en Yucatán, México. Estoy en noveno
grado, but I go to school mainly through a television. It’s called telesecundaria. I’m in my last year of
middle school and something I love about telesecundaria is that I only have one teacher for all my
classes. Plus, I get to watch TV to learn—sweet! Por las mañanas, me despierto a las siete menos
cuarto de la mañana. Me cepillo el pelo, me lavo la cara y me ducho. Luego, desayuno con mi
hermana y mi madre a las ocho menos diez. Después de la escuela, todos los días, a las tres y media
de la tarde voy a la práctica de pok-a-tok. Pok-a-tok is an ancient Maya game in which you hit a
basketball size rubber ball with your hips, thighs, and chest. You can’t use your hands. The goal is to hit
the ball into a stone hoop. The Maya practiced every day because they could face horrible
consequences if they lost. Yo también practico con mi equipo todos los días. But our coach is much
more laid-back than a Maya king.
Después de la práctica de pok-a-tok, me lavo las manos y voy a mi casa. Y tú, ¿cuál es tu rutina?
