Did you know?
- The Spanish word indicador is used for both a dashboard gauge and a blinker, meaning a driver might use the same word for two completely different car parts.
- If you use the word calibre to describe a measurement, a Spanish speaker's mind may immediately jump to weaponry or ammunition.
- In technical Spanish, a manómetro is strictly for pressure, while a termómetro is for temperature, whereas English often groups these as 'gauges'.
