La Cortesia

Real World Example

The Spanish phrase "la cortesía" translates to "courtesy" in English, which refers to polite behavior that shows respect for others. To help you remember this, think of "courtesy" as a little court dance, like a "court-essy." Imagine you're in a royal court, where everyone bows and curtsies to show their politeness. Just like how the word "court" is in both "courtesy" and "cortesía," picture a grand ballroom where knights and ladies are all about those elegant, respectful gestures. Next time you think of "cortesía," imagine yourself in a royal setting, offering a polite bow or curtsy. 🤵‍♀️
