    "TERRIFIC" DOES NOT MEAN "TERRORIFICO"

    Sometimes I use this word in class and the Spanish are often a little confused by its meaning because it does not have anything to do with "terrorifico".

    We use the word "terrific" in a variety of ways but most of the time it is used to describe something that is huge, massive, great or gigantic.

    So for example you can say: "I was walking down the street when I heard a terrific noise (loud noise)" or "I hope you have a terrific day (wonderful day)" or "The concert was terrific (amazing)".

    Hope that helps!

    It is just like the word "excited" that does not mean "excitado" in mexican spanish. The proper translation is "emocionado".
