To remember the word “llamas” for flames in Spanish, you might notice that “llamas” and “flames” both have the letter ‘l’ and the letter ‘a’ in them. Additionally, the two words share a similar sound: the “la” in “flames” sounds a bit like “ll” in “llamas”.

Other words that mean the same thing include “fuego” (fire), which often encompasses flames, or “ardor” (burning), which could describe the sensation or effect of flames.

In some contexts, “llamas” can have alternate meanings. It is the second person singular present indicative form of the verb “llamar,” which means “to call.” Therefore, “llamas” can also mean “you call.” Furthermore, it’s the plural form of “llama,” a South American mammal related to the camel.

Here are some examples of sentences using “llamas” in its primary sense (flames) and its other meanings:

– **Flames**: “Las llamas consumieron el bosque durante el incendio.” (The flames consumed the forest during the wildfire.)
– **Slang/Informal**: “¿Cómo llamas a este dispositivo?” (“What do you call this device?” – although more commonly, it would be phrased as “¿Cómo se llama este dispositivo?”)
– **Llamas (animals)**: “En los Andes de Perú, es común ver llamas.” (In the Andes of Peru, it is common to see llamas.)
