Tips to remember the word ‘enano’ in Spanish:
– Associate the word ‘enano’ with ‘nano,’ which is a prefix meaning extremely small or one-billionth, so you can remember that ‘enano’ refers to something very small, like a dwarf.
– Think of ‘enano’ sounding similar to the character Snow White’s ‘Dopey’, who is a dwarf, thus linking the sound of the word to the image of a small person.

Explanations:
– ‘Enano’ is a noun in Spanish that refers to a person with dwarfism or, in a broader sense, someone who is very short.

Other words that mean the same thing:
– ‘Duende’ can sometimes be used to mean a dwarf or gnome in fairy tales.
– ‘Gnomo’ also refers to a mythical creature similar to a dwarf, typically living underground or in a forest.

Alternate meanings like slang:
– As slang, ‘enano’ can be used affectionately or pejoratively to refer to a child or a very short person.
– In some contexts, ‘enano’ could also be used metaphorically to describe something that is perceived as lesser or insignificant compared to other things.
