	"Amanecer" is the word for dawn in Spanish. "Madrugada" is more like "early morning".

	I got 4/14, mostly by saying "buenas..." to myself and filling in the appropriate blank. I also tried the old, "adding an o to the end of english words" method, but that was less successful - apparently the Spanish word for century is not "centurio". Ah, well.

	Manana simply means tomorrow Alex. Madrugada is used for both dawn and like times after 12am.

	Ugghh I hate when you think of an answer when there is only one second left and you cannot type it (I remembered to add medio to the words).

	@ ianbob Yea same here. You get a lot of Spanish down here. @Mr. Negative Uhhh I'm not sure if that comment is going to go way down or way up

	@alex mañana means tomorrow but it also means morning.

	I think "aurora" should be accepted for "dawn".

	Its amazing how much spanish you pick up without any formal classes, through things like movies, tv, and Taco Bell menus

	smreidy113:	Aug 17th, 2009 at 21:01 GMT	4 points
	madrugada is only one of the many ways to say "dawn." "amanecer" and "alba" should be acceptable too.

	Dodge:	Aug 17th, 2009 at 21:19 GMT	9 points
	Fun fact - when you say/spell año without the tilde over the "n", it means anus.

	Alex - As I understand it after studying abroad in Spain, both "mañana" and "madrugada" can be used for time to mean morning, but "madrugada" is when it is still dark outside. So when you come back from partying, it is "tres de la madrugada" but when you wake up, it is "diez de la mañana." Hope that helps. I agree with others that "amanecer" and "alba" are both better terms for dawn.

	at least in Southern Spain madrugada means early morning, as in 7am, 5am, not dawn.

	Edge:	Aug 18th, 2009 at 01:28 GMT	5 points
	I thought "madrugada" was the period between medianoche and amanecer, what's known in slangy English as "oh dark thirty" or "the ass-crack of dawn."

	The one word I would have got right - morning - isn't on the quiz!

	chanman:	Aug 18th, 2009 at 12:36 GMT	-2 points
	I thought amanecer meant Dawn as in "in dawned on him that.."

	Grapefruit:	Aug 29th, 2009 at 18:29 GMT	2 points
	Forgot dia was masculine. Smart me. :P

	Anne13:	Dec 10th, 2009 at 16:40 GMT	-1 points
	Amanecer is on the list; so should crepusculo (dusk). Manana (morning) should certainly be there. Another word for decade: decada.

	figols:	Dec 14th, 2009 at 21:42 GMT	3 points
	decenio no se dice, se dice década
