Vocab lesson

I've decided to compile an ongoing list of words that I have come to use quite a bit in Chile (in Spanish), that are not ones I learned in school.

Chilean word ------ English word ------- Spanish word (from school)

choclo -------------- corn ------------------ maiz

chao ---------------- bye ------------------- adios (Notably, this has been Sadie's first Spanish word; she pronounces it as just "ch")

aca ------------------ here ------------------ aqui

disculpa ------------ excuse me ---------- perdon

tienes dudas? ------ do you have any questions? ---tienes preguntas?

auto ------------------ car -------------------- coche (In Chile, "coche" is actually stroller)

bombilla ------------- straw (drinking) ------ paja

frutilla ---------------- strawberry ----------- fresa

palta ------------------- avocado ------------- aguacate

ave --------------------- bird ------------------ pajaro

wua wau (pronounced "wa wa") ------- baby --------- bebe (this is one of my faves, and it used VERY regularly)
