Today we're going to learn seven essential nouns. The most frequently used nouns don't

represent physical objects. Instead, they represent various ideas, the kinds of things we think and

talk about all the time without necessarily realizing it. Words like trouble, work, reason, and even the word idea.

Let's start with the Spanish word for problem, which is problem. Now, this word is masculine,

even though it ends with the letter A. So just like you would say,

Un-Dia, not una-dia,

you always say El Problema, or Un-Problema.

Here's an example.

Yes, that would be a problem.

Yes, that would be a problem. Yes, that would be a problem.

This word is much more frequent in Spanish than the word problem in English,

because it's used to refer to a wide variety of negative ideas.

In fact, the word trouble in English normally translates to problems in Spanish. For example, if she weren't my friend, she would be in trouble.

If she wasn't my friend, she would be in trouble. If she not were my amiga,

would be in problems.

Another Spanish word that can mean two things in English is

a masculine noun that means either work or job.

Here are a couple of examples.

Do the work.
