Tips to remember “fuego”:
1. Associate the Spanish word “fuego” with fire-related imagery, like a campfire or flame, to create a mental link.
2. Remember that “fuego” sounds like “fuel-go,” and fire needs fuel to go or burn.
3. Use it in a phrase like “¡Fuego, rápido!” (Fire, quickly!) which can evoke urgency as if you’re calling out for someone to light a fire.

Explanations:
“Fuego” is a noun in Spanish which means “fire.” It’s used to refer to the phenomenon of combustion where heat, light, and flame are produced.

Alternate meanings/slang:
