Today’s Spanish word of the day is “otro”.
It’s an adjective meaning “other”.
It’s not a coincidence that the word looks a bit like English “other”.
English and Spanish share a common ancestor, Proto-Indo-European, which was spoken about 5,000 years ago.
English “other” and Spanish “otro” both come from the same Proto-Indo-European word, which linguists believe was something like antero.
This is just one example of how there are often connections between English and Spanish vocabulary.
