Question

Which of the following is a word borrowed from the Spanish language and used in the English language?

la hamburguesa

la medicina

el zíper

la tortilla

Answer 1

So we have four choices.

We need to pick the one word,
that does not have its own translation, in English.

For example, look at the first choice: la hamburguesa.

Have you ever heard the word "hamburguesa" spoken in English?

Probably not.

And that's because we have our own word, for "hamburguesa."
"Hamburger."

So, the first choice isn't the answer.

I bet you can look at the other three choices,
and figure out the correct choice.

Which of those three words is heard in the English language?
