Are they false friends?
Not exactly, in this podcast 169 we are going to talk about
the words: costumbre and disfraz.
We have the habit of recording a podcast every Wednesday
since 2020.
In Mexico we have the custom of eating Pan de Muerto or
sugar skulls on the Day of the Dead. Let's remember that Pan de Muerto is a
sweet bread that is a traditional food on these days.
And sugar skulls are Little sugar skulls. I think the word
costume is confused with costumbre.
That's right, let's go to the translations:
Costumbre - habit
Disfraz- costume
What is costumbre?
Custom is a set of practices or habit that are acquired
through repetition and constancy. They can be of a person or of a society.
It is what distinguishes one community from another. For
example, millennials have the habit of interacting on social networks, Tik Tok,
Facebook, etc.
Only millennials?
Well, actually, everyone in at least one part of the world.
When does a habit become a tradition?
If you have a custom for a long time, it becomes a
tradition.
Are there good habits and bad habits?
Good habits are for example sleeping eight hours, eating
healthy, do you know any other good habits?
Bad habits are the opposite, eating junk food, throwing
plastic into the sea and everything related to a disorganized life.
The other word is disfraz, which in English is
costume.
The word costume derives from the verb to disguise and
linguists do not agree on the origin of this word. It seems to come from the
Latin, desfrezar, to disguise, to hide traces.
Children wear a costume on Halloween. Children wear a
costume on Halloween.
Mario tried to disguise his jealousy, but it was more than
obvious. Mario tried to disguise his
jealousy but it was obvious.
On the Day of the Dead there is a catrinas parade, i.e. the
girls go out painted and dressed up as catrinas. On the Day of the Dead there
is a catrinas parade, that is, the girls come out painted and dressed as
