Did you know?
- The word compañía shares the same root as the English word 'company', as both come from the Late Latin *compānia, meaning 'a breaking of bread together'.
- The word seguro can also mean 'safe' or 'sure', so saying la compañía es segura could mean the company is reliable or that the company itself is physically safe.
- If you are looking for an insurance agent, you might ask for a gestor de seguros, as many people use the role of a professional intermediary rather than contacting the aseguradora directly.
