Fegg Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Homonymous are words that are written the same but mean different things. Paronimous sound very similar but mean different things. Do you know any homonymous/paronimous?I´ll let here a classic:Ay (expression) --> Hay (verb) --> Ahí (adverb)Another:Azar (noun)= Fate --> Azahar (noun)= Orange blossomAnyone can guess this next homonymous?

Cojo/Cojo Expand I believe cojo has several meanings! First as a swear word, then as a verb, then as a name for someone with a limp. Another good one is: halla - haya - allá Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
