Spanish Lessons

Expressions with Valer
The Spanish verb valer literally means "to be worth" and is used in many Spanish expressions.

Augmentatives
In Spanish, suffixes called augmentatives can be added to nouns, adjectives, adverbs, and names to indicate bigness, as well as other ideas such as excessiveness, contempt, or disdain. In this way, you can say that something is big without adding an adjectives like grande to indicate bigness or repugnante to indicate contempt.
