	@Geo1: if you have "esta" and "prueba" (both feminine), "divertida" must also be feminine. I agree that the conjugation of Spanish verbs is very hard, but gender of nouns/adjectives is relatively easy. (Yes, "mano" ends in "o" and it's feminine, but you must blame the Romans for that: "manus" was feminine in Latin, in spite of ending in "us").

	This was fun, having only Latin in my background. It was interesting to see what words I could pick out with similar roots.

	Since 61% missed 5 or fewer, it's probably too easy.

	I managed 37 out of 50...this might sound bad to those of you who did much better than that, but it's pretty good. Since 18 years have passed by since my last Spanish class, and 74% is in line with my grades back then...I've lost nothing!

	Piso refers to a story in a building. 1st floor, 2nd floor, etc. Suelo is the floor where my feet are.

	Good to know that my eight years of Spanish in school wasn't wasted.

	@singin185: "Piso" has both meanings: a floor or stor(e)y in a building, e.g. "El edificio Empire State tiene 102 pisos" but also the floor of a room (marble, tiles, wood, etc.), e.g. "El piso del dormitorio es de madera". In theory "suelo" should mean only the ground, earth or soil (it's a cognate of English "soil") but it's also accepted for a paved surface (so it's a synonym of "piso").

	To keep in the same construct as your male/female clues, you should reorder grandmother/grandfather to grandfather/grandmother. Also, "Piso" is most definitely correct, as anyone who has ever seen a "Cuidado: Piso mojado" sign should know.

	@Singing185: So every sign that reads "Cuidado! Piso mujado" is either wrong or only means "Caution, wet story"

	I guess I'll have to tell my Spanish teacher from high school she was wrong. I definitely remember her correcting me on that. I had considered that it was one of those differences in Spain-Spanish versus Mexican/Latin American-Spanish.

	it's a good mix of words that are similar to english (hora/hour, flor/flower), words which are similar to other latin languages (pais, sol) and then spanish words which everyone just seems to know (rio, amor) so there wasn't too much guesswork needed.

	Scarpia:	Sep 2nd, 2012 at 14:10 GMT		7 points
	In Spain we only use "suelo" for ground or soil and "piso" for floor or story in a building. In Latin American Spanish, "piso" means ground or soil as well, though.

	50 out of 50. Senorita Keane would be proud.

	Learning French for around nine years certainly helps a lot, I've only been learning Spanish for one, but I could still get words I hadn't learnt (like 'mundo' and 'muerte') from similar French words (In these cases, 'monde' and the verb 'mourir').

	Bah, "luck" and "happiness" are too similar for me, oh well.

	You should have included the Spanish for 'name' to muddle things up.
