Tips to remember the word “guantes”:

1. Associate “guantes” with “guard your hands” – both begin with “gu” and gloves protect your hands.
2. Think of winter gear – when it gets cold, you might say, “Gu-osh, it’s cold, I need gloves!” linking the sound to “guantes.”

Explanations:

“Guantes” is the Spanish word for “gloves,” the protective or warming coverings worn on the hands.

Other words that mean the same thing:

1. “Mitones” – this word is used in Spanish for “mittens,” which are similar to gloves but with less finger separation.
2. “Manoplas” – another word for mittens or a type of glove that encases the thumb separately but keeps the other four fingers together.

Alternate meanings and slang:

While “guantes” does not have many slang meanings, in boxing or other combat sports, “guantes” can specifically refer to boxing gloves.

1. Cuando hace frío, siempre uso mis guantes de lana.
2. El médico se puso guantes antes de examinar al paciente.
