VOCABULARY

The purpose of this vocabulary is to give English equivalents for the words and locutions as used in this play, in order to help the student understand the text or translate it into clear, idiomatic English. In some cases, therefore, the English equivalent is not a literal translation of the Spanish and may not give the usual meaning of the word or phrase. Moreover, words that the student is reasonably certain to know and those that have the same or almost the same form and meaning in Spanish and English are omitted, as well as inflected forms, except in the case of those that seem to offer special difficulty.
