Tips to remember the word “tenia”:
– Associate “tenia” with “tape” in English to remind you of the shape of a tapeworm.
– Remember the Spanish word “tener” (to have) and think of it as having a worm.
– “Tenia” sounds somewhat similar to “thin,” which could remind you that tapeworms are long and thin parasites.

Explanations:
– “Tenia” is the Spanish word for a tapeworm, a type of parasitic worm that can live in the digestive tract of humans and animals.

Other words that mean the same thing:
– Solitaria: Sometimes “tenia” is colloquially referred to as “solitaria” in Spanish, meaning “solitary” because it is often found alone.
