Did you know?
- The word amor is a distant linguistic cousin to the English word 'amateur'. Both stem from the idea of 'loving' or 'doing something for the love of it' rather than for money.
- In some Latin American countries, referring to someone's andanzas can be a subtle, coded way of hinting that the person is cheating or being unfaithful.
- If you are discussing a 'complicated' love life, you might use the adjective enredada (tangled), which evokes the image of a knot of thread rather than just a difficult situation.
