**Tips to remember the word “ostra” (oyster):**
– Link the word “ostra” with the English word “oyster” by focusing on their similar starting and ending sounds.
– Visualize an oyster shell with a pearl inside to create a mental image associated with the word.
– Consider that “ostra” in Spanish sounds like “oyster” spoken with a Spanish accent.

**Explanations:**
– “Ostra” refers to the marine mollusks that live in marine or brackish habitats. In Spanish-speaking countries, it is the common term for the oyster, a shellfish that is known for its edible properties and sometimes for containing pearls.

**Other words that mean the same thing:**
– “Concha de mar” is another term that could be used to refer to oysters in a broader sense, where “concha” means shell and “mar” means sea, but it is less specific than “ostra.”

**Alternate meanings or slang:**
– In some regions or contexts, “ostra” might be used in expressions or idioms that aren’t related to the actual marine creature but rather to convey a different, perhaps more metaphorical idea, but there are no widespread slang meanings that are commonly recognized.

**Examples of sentences using “ostra”:**
– “Prefiero las ostras frescas con un toque de limón.” (I prefer fresh oysters with a touch of lemon.)
– “Encontraron una perla dentro de una ostra.” (They found a pearl inside an oyster.)
– “Muchas personas consideran que las ostras son un manjar.” (Many people consider oysters a delicacy.)
