Spanish Noun: Psicología

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009 | Permalink

Spanish Noun:Psicología

Pronunciation:see-coh-loh-geeah

Translation:Psychology

Function:noun

More simplifications: Some Spanish words are loosing a letter and both the old and modern form are correct, for example, all words beginning with ‘ps’ can also be written without the ‘p’: ‘psicología’ is one of them, ‘psiquiatra’ [psychiatrist] is another.

Also, when prefix ‘re-’ [re-] meets a word beginning with an ‘e’, the result might be a single ‘e’, as in old ‘reembolso’ [refund], now ‘rembolso’. Prefix ‘Sobre-’ is in the same case, as in ‘sobrentender‘ [be implied]

Example: sobrestimado

Translation:overestimated
