I am not taking a Spanish class, but I am reading a story with Spanish words in it.

Question

There is only one word and one two word phrase.

The following are those.

1. abuelito

2. Está muerto

Please help me with the following, I do not know what they mean. Also, these words are from Sandra Cisneros's story, The House on Mango Street. I will appreciate it if you guys will help. Thank you if you guys help.

I have tried looking it up, and I am also kind of confused too.

Answer 1

abuelito = granddad

Está muerto = He's dead

Answer 2

Thank you, Ms. Sue! I did not really know what they meant. Now I know for sure what they mean. I have never really learned Spanish, the Spanish words that I knew for a while were the ones for 1, 2, and 3. Thank you again, Ms. Sue. Now I understand!

Answer 3

You're welcome, Brady. :-)

Answer 4

abuelito means Granddad
Esta muerto means He's dead

Answer 5

Abuelito is the affectionate personal form of grandfather(abuelo) so it is better translated "grampa"

Answer 6

Thank you, all of you! All of you helped a lot. :)
