Did you know?
- In Spanish, the word año is a homonym for the word for 'anus' if the tilde over the ñ is removed. A missing tilde changes the meaning from 'year' to a part of the body.
- In many Spanish-speaking cultures, the transition to a new año is marked by the tradition of eating twelve grapes at midnight. One grape is eaten for every stroke of the clock to bring luck for each month.
- Spanish uses the word año for calendar years, but when talking about age, the phrase años is used in a way that translates to 'having years'. For example, someone says Tengo 20 años rather than 'I am 20'.
