Okay this weeks word is a good and one that I work very hard to tell my children to always be! It is íntegro een’-teh-groh (adjective) which means complete, whole; honest, upright. Here are a couple of examples:
1. Nunca he leído la edición íntegra de “Guerra y paz”, sólo la versión reducida.
I’ve never read the unabridged edition of “War and Peace,” only the abridged version.
2. Debes llevar tu carro a ese mecánico. Él es un hombre muy íntegro.
You should take your car to that mechanic. He is a very honest man.

This is a great word! I also try very hard to teach my kids to honest and upright. I always tell them that if they don’t keep their word they don’t have anything. So I should be able to use this word easily this week.
this is a great word of the week. everyone should know this word in many languages.
Honesty needs to be taught more in the homes. Years ago, parents taught their kids manners and the to be ethical human beings. Some of these things are missing these days and hope that they begin to get taught in the homes again.
From the root meaning integrity.
That’s a very good word! I have a tough time utilizing this word, because of its multiple meanings. I love the examples you gave for it. Thanks!
