This week’s word is: sabio sah’-byoh (adjective) which means wise. Which is what I tell my brother I am often! Here it is in a few examples:
1.) El filósofo Epícteto dijo que un hombre sabio no se lamenta por lo que no tiene, sino que se regocija por lo que sí tiene.
The philosopher Epictetus said that a wise man does not grieve for the things he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.
2.) Nadar con tiburones sin una jaula no me parece una decisión sabia.
Swimming with sharks without a cage doesn’t seem a wise decision to me.

Swimming with sharks without a cage doesn’t seem like a wise decision to me either. Although one day I would love to do the cage thing.
I really like the quote you referenced from Epictetus. Great example for us. I can easily use this weeks word in a sentence to my daughter. I am always telling my kids to make wise choices. Got it made!
I like that you’re sharing more specific words for us to use and teach our children! “Wise” is not a word that toddlers and wee children often have in their vocabulary, so I think it’s great that you’re pointing us to these less common, but important, words!
Thanks!!! Now to try and incorporate this into my own vocabulary…:)
I am so glad that you like these words!
I’ve never heard the quote from Epictetus, great quote I like it, now to remember it.
