Ayer

Real World Example

The Spanish word "ayer" means "yesterday" in English. Picture this: you’re a time-traveling pirate with a parrot on your shoulder, and every time you arrive a day late, your parrot screeches, "Aye, 'er ye be looking for yesterday!" Imagine that cheeky parrot saying "aye" (like a pirate) and "er" (like a confused pirate) to remind you that "ayer" is all about the past—yesterday, to be precise. So when you hear "ayer," think of that pirate parrot taking you back to the day before! 🦜
