first one in mind, which I use a lot:
-laburo (noun, means job/work) laburar (verb) etymology: italian word "lavoro" que significa trabajo
we were talking in some other thread about different terminologies to refer to cops or money in all diff countries
here are some
money = dinero
plata
guita
sope
billete
moneda
police=policia
cop(s)=cana(s)
yuta
poli
gorra (always referred to as "LA gorra" must always be preceded by fem article)
rati (only used in its singular version, "UN rati" is A single cop, very insulting, commonly used by criminals and thugs)
