“to feel ashamed for an unknown person” or a cringe-worthy experience @Hauser: the diéresis or crema is a pretty common sign in Spanish: it is mandatory over a u to indicate that this vowel must be pronounced in the combinations gue y gui, as in vergüenza, pingüino. |

Are there other “feminine only” adjectives in Spanish besides “embarazada”? Did you check the DRAE for embarazado? The DRAE recognizes embarazado. In fact, it has become more and more commom (at least here in Colombia) to use "estamos embarazados" ("we are pregnant") whenever a couple is expecting a baby, and this phrase will be used for either one, the man or the woman. |

Is there a colloquial Spanish equivalent for “to get it” in the sense of grasping a concept? "no me he enterado" (or "no me entero") is not really usual in Colombia (although everyone would get it); "no lo pillo" is the most colloquial expression around here. |

Determining gender of words ending in “e” Then perhaps you could mention that source (perhaps including the concrete page(s)) in your answer. |

“Aún” vs. “todavía”, what's the difference? I think that in your two examples: "No tomaría más, aún cuando me lo pidieras" and "No quiso tomar, aún habiéndoselo pedido", it should be "aun" (no accent mark) and not "aún", since the meaning is that of "incluso". As the RAE says, "aún" only has accent mark when it can be replaced by "todavía". |

How would you build the spanish counterpart of “truthiness”? Instead of using some artificial construct, in this concrete case, I would suggest using certeza: certeza. (De cierto). 1. f. Conocimiento seguro y claro de algo. 2. f. Firme adhesión de la mente a algo conocible, sin temor de errar. |

Indirect object and “le” Maybe the answer by Nexus to What does “lo” in “(no) lo es” refer to? also applies here. |
