embarazado

pregnant

adjective em-bah-rah-SAH-doh Less Common

Usage Note

Embarazado is a classic false friend: it does NOT mean 'embarrassed'. It is the masculine form of embarazada, the everyday word for 'pregnant'. To say you are embarrassed, use avergonzado/avergonzada — never embarazado.

Examples

"Mi hermana está embarazada de tres meses."

Natural Translation

My sister is three months pregnant.
