| Alex: Hi everybody, I am Alex and welcome to weekly words. I don’t know the theme of the words I am going to teach you. So let’s get started. The theme is buildings. Mi casa, tu casa which means my house, your house. It’s just a way of welcoming everybody and telling them to feel comfortable in your house. And the first word is: |
| 1. departamento apartment |
| Mi departamento es muy chiquito. My apartment is very small. True story. |
| 2. dormitorio dormitory |
| My dormitory is really small. That one, that one is freakishly small. Vivo en el dormitorio de mi universidad. I sleep in my university’s dormitory. Interesting fact, in Mexico, dormitories are not really common. It’s really rare to have a university with dormitories. |
| 3. terrateniente landlord |
| Siempre me escondo de mi terrateniente. I always hide from my landlord. |
| 4. ascensor elevator |
| Me gusta picarle a los botones del elevador. I like pushing buttons in elevators. |
| rascacielos skyscraper |
| Scratch. It literally means scratching the skies. So I always imagine somebody going *scratch scratch scratch* Slangy. Puedes ver el atardecer en un rascacielos. You can watch the sunset in the skyscraper. |
| This is it, thank you very much for stopping by. I am Alex and see you next time, bye. |

I like the word "skyscraper" very much. It is very poetic.
I guess it is like "skyscratcher"?
