Did you know?
- The Spanish word juego shares a common ancestor with the English word 'joke'. Both derive from the Latin 'jocus', which originally meant a jest or a pastime.
- While juego describes the set, the word sartén (frying pan) is typically masculine, but in some regional dialects it is treated as feminine.
- The term juego is much more versatile than the English 'set', as it can also describe a 'play' in a theatrical production.
