"Cien años de soledad" Vocab, Part 1
Welcome to the first annual* vocab list from Gabriel García Márquez's magnum opus!
*not actually annual, probably like every week or something
For some reason, I'm crazy and decided to read though this novel in Spanish to try and better my skills. While it's considered one of the best novels ever written, I've also heard horror stories about its difficulty, so I'm going to be creating a vocab list of things I didn't know while reading to not only help myself but anyone else who comes across this! Let's get started.
aldea (nf) - small village; this word comes up a lot in here so far
cañabrava (nf) - reed
diáfano (adj) - diaphanous, translucent, clear (as of sky), bright (as of light)
lecho (nm) - bed, riverbed
pulido (adj) - polished
carecer (vi) - to lack, to not have; in context here, used with "de nombre" to describe the time period, "many things lacked names"
desarrapado (adj) - ragged, shabby
alboroto (nm) - noise, din, racket
montaraz (adj) - rustic, coarse
gorrión (nm) - sparrow
truculento (adj) - gruesome, horrifying
espantar (vt) - to scare (away)
desenclavar (vt) - to pull out, to remove (forcibly)
desbandada (nf) - jailbreak, (figurative) stampede
pregonar (vt) - to announce, to proclaim
desaforado (adj) - enormous, boundless, immeasurable
desentrañar (vt) - to figure out, to unravel; used here in the context of pulling gold out from the ground
imantar (vt) - to magnetize; used here as a participle "lingotes imantados"
sobrar (vi) - to be left over
empedrar (vt) - to pave, to fill
empeñarse en (v.pron+prep) - to insist on
palmo a palmo (adv. expr.) - in by inch, meticulously
conjuro (nm) - spell, incantation
cascote (nm) - (piece of) rubble
calabazo (nm) - pumpkin, gourd
desarticular (vt) - to break (up), to take apart, to dislocate (medical term)
colgado (adj) - hanging, fixated by, frozen (computer term)
relicario (nm) - reliquary, locket
rizo (nm) - curl, ringlet (of hair), loop
And that was just the first paragraph! That's one thing I've noticed about his writing style, he LOVES very long, drawn out sentences and paragraphs. At this rate, every post might be just one paragraph... We'll see what happens.
Hopefully this is a helpful list to everyone! Look forward to the next lengthy vocab list!

ready, finished
listo, lista
Think of a checklist or to-do list: items on the list get checked off when they’re ready or finished.
I’m ready, and the list is almost ready.
Estoy listo, y la lista está casi lista.
