This week’s Spanish word is: relevante I am sure that you can all guess what the word means and is in English. Relevante is one of those Spanish words that translates across the languages.
relevante: reh-leh-vahn’-teh (adjective)
1. El abogado se opuso a la evidencia, diciendo que no era relevante al caso.

I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

Very interesting the Spanish word of the week. I did not know that relevant is a Spanish word. I like that I can learn about Spanish words on your blog.

I am so glad that you like this Karen. I had done away with it but many readers asked me to bring it back.
Jean says
I will be using this word later today to impress my six year old. She studies Spanish daily at school and she is usually teaching me new Spanish words.
Rita says
I am always learning new words from the kids! Hope you impress her and come back every Monday because each week there is a new word.

This is the first I have seen of this! I love it! Had no idea that relevant was as Spanish word. But I think having this weekly lesson is a great idea! I will share it with my family.

I am glad you picked one that was a little easier for me. LOL Last week when I used our word of the week my daughter told me I was not doing very well. I know I can handle this one. Thanks for helping us all with our Spanish!

Funny how some words are so similar. I knew what the word meant when I saw it before I finished reading your post.
