FOOTNOTES:
[1] A throat aspirate.
[2] In this and similar expressions the article is omitted in Spanish; as: a pound and a half, _libra y media_; a yard and a half, _vara y media_; eighteen-pence, _chelín y medio_, etc.
[3] In Spain, parliament is called _las Cortes_, and a member of parliament _un diputado a Cortes_.
[4] See vocabulary of business terms, page 361.
[5] The par value of the pound sterling is 25 pesetas; the rate of exchange, of course, varies. See page 408.
[6] In Spanish America, _la locomotiva_.
[7] The sizes of collars, gloves, shoes, etc., are indicated in Spanish in centimetres; thus, size 6 in gloves in English would be size 15 in Spanish.
[8] Abbreviated to _cien_ when immediately preceding a noun or its adjective.
[9] The _o_ of _primero_ is dropped before a noun or its adjective. _Tercero_ and _postrero_ are also so abbreviated, generally.
[10] The noun of nationality may begin with a capital or a small letter.
[11] Or _Antoñito_. Spanish colloquial names are generally formed from the ordinary Christian names by adding the diminutive termination _ito_, etc.; as: _Juanito_, Jack (from _Juan_, John), _Anita_, Nancy, etc. (from _Ana_, _Ann_, etc.). The principal exceptions are given in the present list.
[12] Tenses not given are conjugated regularly.
[13] Smoking compartments of Spanish trains are marked "Fumadores," but smoking is allowed in all compartments provided the other passengers do not object.
[14] _Desayuno_, early breakfast; _almuerzo_, late breakfast. Strictly speaking "_breakfast_" is "_desayuno_," but when it is a substantial meal, or a late one, it is generally called "_almuerzo_."
[15] Or _mantequilla_ especially in Spanish America.
[16] Also called _las once_ or _el lunch_. _La merienda_ (generally translated "lunch"), is a snack taken as a rule between dinner and supper, usually by children. The Spanish midday meal is generally called _la comida_, and the evening meal _la cena_.
[17] In Spanish restaurants and cafés the waiter's attention is attracted by clapping the hands.
[18] Tea as a meal is not a Spanish custom. See note, page 195.
[19] _Buenos días_ is used till noon, _buenas tardes_ from noon till dusk, and _buenas noches_ afterwards.
[20] The names of the days and months may begin with a capital letter, as in English.
[21] Given merely as an equivalent. Names of papers are not translated as a rule.
[22] Or less formally: _Que V. lo pase bien, Caballero_ (_Señora_).
[23] Spaniards generally address their servants in the second person (tú), but the third person or polite form (V.) is not unusual.
[24] Flower-garden, _jardín_; fruit-garden, _huerto_; vegetable-garden, _huerta_.
[25] Or, _nunca por mucho trigo es mal año_.
[26] In Spain stamps are sold at tobacconists' (_estancos_), not as in England, at the Post Office.
[27] See note, page 46.
[28] _Seguro servidor_ (faithful servant).
[29] _Que besa su mano_ (who kisses your hand). This latter formula is little used in Spanish America, and is often omitted in Spain. Letters from gentlemen to ladies end with Q.B.S.P., _que besa sus pies_ (who kisses your feet).
[30] The value of the pound sterling varies, of course, according to the rate of exchange.
[31] The _10-centimos_ piece is called _perro grande_ or _perro gordo_, and the _5-centimos_ piece, _perro chico_.
