Fegg Posted October 21, 2015 Report 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 Quote

Cojo/Cojo 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
lingvo Posted August 1, 2016 Report Posted August 1, 2016 Alright, an useful word for you people: cegar/segar=> cegar means to blind someone/ segar means to mow,harvest, reap. aprender/apreheneder=> aprender is to learn/aprehender is apprehension. casa/caza=> casa is house/caza is hunt. Quote
