Did you know?
- In Spanish, the word sobre is also the common noun for an 'envelope'. This is because an envelope is technically a wrapper that goes 'over' or 'above' the letter.
- The preposition sobre comes from the Latin word super, which also gave English the word 'super'. Both words originally shared the meaning of being 'above' or 'over' something.
- While cosas sobre mí is used in digital spaces, Spanish speakers often prefer sobre mí or sobre nosotros as headings because cosas can sound overly vague or childish in formal writing.
