@IriaPoncelaBlanco - I think OP means same meaning, different spellings. — aparente001, Jan 21, 2020 at 2:46
In some places they say fríjoles so frijol can also be fríjol — aris, Jan 21, 2020 at 3:08
that sounds like a bad misspelling, fríjol, it should be frijol according to spelling rules — Iria, Jan 21, 2020 at 8:47

@aparente001 note that "méndigo" does not mean the same as "mendigo" so I have not included it.

Thanks. // I'm so confused about that pair. I thought the meanings were related. There's a lot of judgment in Mexico. Well, at least what I've heard, is not so much against the person doing the begging, but there's a belief, I don't know if it's true, that there's a family member behind the scenes, sending the infirm person out to the sidewalk to beg, and pocketing the money.
