Word of the Day: Convivir

By Gerald Erichsen, About.com

La palabra del día: convivir
Pronunciación aproximada: kohm-bee-VEER (The second v in this word is pronounced somewhat like the English "v" but with the top teeth touching the lower lip instead of the two lips touching. The Spanish r here is pronounced with a tap of the tongue against the front of the palate.) Listen
Significado: to live together, to coexist
Ejemplo: Bienvenidos a la Tierra Media, un mundo repleto de las más extrañas criaturas. Duendes, enanos, hobbits, brujos y humanos conviven en este universo de fantasía medieval.
Traducción: Welcome to Middle Earth, a world full of the strangest creatures. Elves, dwarves, hobbits, witches and humans live together in this medieval fantasy universe.
