Frequently Asked Questions
Is 'dólares' always about US dollars?
Usually, but not always. Many countries use a currency called the 'dollar'. If it's important to be specific, people might say 'dólares americanos' (American dollars) or 'dólares canadienses' (Canadian dollars).
Why is it 'dólares' and not 'dólars'?
Great question! In Spanish, words that end in a consonant (like the 'r' in 'dólar') usually add '-es' to become plural. Words that end in a vowel just add '-s'.
