Now that you've learned a bit about how set phrases convey something beyond their word-for-word meaning, let's learn a bunch more that came up for Silvia during her week!

In this third part of his series devoted to compounding in Spanish, Carlos will introduce us to additional types of compound words that are formed upon joining both adjectives and verbs with nouns.

In every language, there are set phrases such as "You're pulling my leg" that cannot be taken at face value. Silvia teaches us the Spanish equivalent of this English expression as well as many other such Spanish set phrases.

Compound words can be divided into four groups based on the nature of their components. In this video, Carlos explains the first group: compounds consisting of two nouns in which the second one attributes some quality to the first.

Like in English, compounding in Spanish occurs when two or more words merge together to form a new word called a "compound word" or simply "compound." Let's learn about the different types of compound words in Spanish, with examples of each.
