Did you know?
- Spanish has a specific noun, sabiduría, which refers to 'wisdom' and is often used instead of conocimientos when the knowledge shared is considered profound or life-changing.
- If you are thanking a teacher or an elder, you would change tus to sus to avoid sounding overly familiar, which can be seen as disrespectful in many Latin American countries.
- The word compartir is a close relative of the English word 'compartment', as both stem from the Latin idea of dividing or sharing out.
