Compromiso.

Hmm.

¡Claro! ¡Es verdad! El español es una lengua que habla directamente al corazón.

These false cognates are particularly resonant, and I'm glad you really do catch the meaningfulness of the dichotomy between our languages.

:rofl: That's even worse than Hindi's famous pair: there's only one word in Hindi for yesterday and tomorrow!

In both cases there's a certain correspondence between the culture and the language, I think...now, how can one describe, in English, the concepts that get merged by the English language, but that have separate words in Hindi or Spanish?
