Spanish Word of the Week: Audacious

|

Spanish Word of the Week 600
Fiesta Baby by: JW Illustrations

This week’s word is a really good one! It is: audaz ow-dahs’  (adjective) which means audacious, bold. Below are a couple of examples:


1.) En 1859, el audaz equilibrista y acróbata Charles Blondin cruzó las cataratas del Niágara en una cuerda floja.

In 1859, audacious tightrope walker and acrobat Charles Blondin crossed Niagara Falls on a tightrope.

2.) Mi hermano mayor siempre ha sido muy audaz; en la secundaria le pidió a la chica más bonita y popular de su clase que fuera con él al baile, aunque ella ya tenía novio.

My older brother has always been bold; when he was in high school he asked the prettiest and most popular girl in his class to go to the dance with him, even though she already had a boyfriend.

  1. This word reminds me of my brother also. He is very bold and sometimes a little to bold. Great word for the Spanish word of the week. Love these posts cause I get to learn a new word each week.

  2. You are right about this being a good word this week. I hope I can even stump my daughter. This will be fun because my daughter can be very bold at times! Thanks for all the great Spanish words you have been teaching us!!

  3. Funny how some words are the same in different languages but spoke differently.

  4. I think I would get major points if I worked this into conversation with my native-speaking Mexican friends. I will have to try it, but I am still very shy trying to converse with them since I know so little.

  5. This is such a neat post to do each week! I actually love the word audacious and use it frequently (to the point of being poked fun of about it!). I bet my Mexican sister-in-law would laugh so hard if I tried to use it in Spanish. Challenge accepted! lol
