7. Extra: palabras polisémicas

Objetivos

In this unit, you’ve encountered some polysemous words, that is, words that have more than one meaning. They are spelled and pronounced the same way (like homonyms) and share the same etymological root.

For example, the word 'piso' can mean apartment and floor:

  • Tengo un piso en Madrid (I have an apartment in Madrid).
  • Vivo en el cuarto piso (I live on the fourth floor).
  • Acabo de barrer el piso (I have just finished sweeping the floor).

Can you think of any other examples from this unit? Take a look at the presentation to find out more!
