¡Ojo! Watch Out! Cansado v. Casado
One of my students brought to my attention this funny, similarly sounding participle:
"I always used to think I was saying I was old and tired. But word choice is important; turns out, I was saying "I was old and married"(Soy viejo y casado) instead of "I was old and tired"(Soy viejo y cansado). - Nathan Bohlar, Irving TX.
