Hello, how are you! Good morning, good afternoon or good evening, depending on where you are or what time you're listening to us. Welcome to episode 216 of the 5 minutes of Spanish! What's our topic? Today we're going to have some fun with two very useful verbs in Spanish: devolver and envolver. Both also come from the verb volver, which means “to return” in English. So, get ready, because today we're back to verbs derived from volver. We start with devolver, which means “to return” or “to give back” in English. As you can imagine, it comes from volver with the prefix de-, which indicates returning something to its original state. Tengo que devolver el libro a la biblioteca. / I have to return the book to the library. This verb is very useful when we talk about returning things to their original place, whether it's a book, a purchase, or even a favor. Le devolví el favor a mi amigo / I returned the favor to my friend .
