Spanish Vocabulary: Parts of the Body

Hi!
I wrote this post to introduce you to the parts of the human body in español! Just a simple post, for your reference :) Espero que you enjoy it! 😊

So here's the list of the Spanish names for the Parts of the body found on the image above:

SPANISH -> ENGLISH
las cejas -> the eyebrows
el cabello -> the hair  (also "el pelo" esp. in Spain)
la cabeza -> the head
los ojos -> the eyes
la nariz -> the nose
las orejas -> the ears
el cuello -> the neck
la boca -> the mouth
los hombros -> the shoulders
los brazos -> the arms
el codo -> the elbow
los dedos -> the fingers
las manos -> the hands
las piernas -> the legs
las rodillas -> the knees
los tobillos -> the ankles
los pies -> the feet

Example:
Tengo las cejas gruesas - I have thick eyebrows
Tengo el cabello negro y largo - I have long black hair
Tengo los ojos grandes - I have big eyes



Other examples:
Ella tiene las cejas gruesas así como el chico arriba - She has thick eyebrows like the guy above.
Tiene el pelo negro y corto - She has short black hair.
Tiene los dientes feos - She has ugly teeth.





Just a note:
You can use the verb "TENER" + the body part + adjective to describe yourself or somoeone else, just like the examples above!!

(Remember the conjugation of the verb TENER: yo tengo, tú tienes, él/ella/usted tiene, nosotr@s tenemos, vosotr@s tenéis, ell@s/ustedes tienen)

Now, can you describe yourself briefly in the comments below ??
