 But it's not very comfortable to listen to the previous 188 podcasts all together.... Take it one step at a time What is today's topic?

 

 

This week, we are going to talk about the word "comfortable" and its derivatives.

 

Ah, but not the Komodo dragon, the largest lizard on the planet that weighs 300 kilos and .

 

No, the adjective cómodo/ a is written with a c and has an accent on the o, that's why we say esta silla es muy cómoda (this chair is very comfortable), that is, it is a comfortable chair. The adjectives, cómodo/a as well as the noun comodidad derive from the Latin word commoditas, it is what you need to be comfortable.

 

I like to be comfortable, that is to say, to have comfortable things, like

 

Ropa cómoda    comfortable clothes or say:

Es un viaje cómodo It s a comfortable trip.

 

It also refers to people who don't work a lot, it's very comfortable. don't want to exert themselves

It's negative...

Yes, to be a comfortable or a commodore is negative

 

He is very comfortable or comfortable or is in a comfortable situation.

 

They are very comfortable, they inherited a great fortune

 

Heredaron - they inherited

 

What words are derived from comfortable?

 

Accommodate which is to put things in order, the opposite is to disarrange or disarrange. It is to find a place for everything....

 

And everything in its place, of course!

 

 

 

Acomoda las sillas  del salón  Arrange the chairs in the living room, please.

 

The verb acomodar has a reflexive form.

 

To accommodate is to obtain a favorable labor or financial situation, for example, to receive favors without following the established steps.

 

To accommodate in a job or to obtain a right through friendship with someone.  It can have a negative meaning
