SPANISH
In Spanish the suffix dad is used
for words ending in "ity". Ciudad is
city, vanidad is vanity. So TRINIDAD means
trinity.
The ordinary word for You is Usted. This is a
short form of vuestra merced meaning "your
grace". Merced is related to our word "mercy".
I suppose you could call this trivia. But I'd say that
once you know lots more trivia like this, you can speak
the language.
