Did you know?
- The word cabeza shares a deep root with the English word 'captain' because both derive from the Latin 'caput' meaning 'head'.
- The word eres is a rare linguistic relic. It comes from the Latin word for 'you will be' rather than the Latin word for 'you are'.
- Spanish children might replace caca with popó to sound even more infantile or to avoid a slight taboo in stricter households.
