Spanish is a Romance language derived from Vulgar Latin. Spanish is spoken by 559 million people around the world. Spanish uses inverted exclamation and question marks. Like most languages, Spanish has its own very unique words which can't be translated in other languages.
Useful examples include:
Vergüenza Ajena: feeling embarrassed for someone even if he/she doesn’t feel embarrassed him/herself;
Empalagar: have you ever disliked something because it was too sweet? This word perfectly describe this situation;
Sobremesa: in Spain and Latin American countries, it is common to stay at the table after a meal and share conversation and anecdotes with family and friends over a cup of coffee or some wine.
