Like the previous categories, words that end in “-ble” are often the same in both languages. One quick spelling note here: Spanish never uses a double “s” like we do in English. So, when translating these words from English to Spanish, any “ss” becomes a single “s.” For example, “possible” in English becomes “posible” in Spanish.
This is true across the board, so keep an eye out for those small differences! Let’s take a look at some words ending in “-ble.”
- posible
- imposible
- notable
- flexible
- visible
- formidable
- probable
- honorable
- noble
- horrible
- inevitable
On these words, the emphasis is placed on the second to last syllable. So “imposible” is “im-po-SI-ble.”
