corazón

heart

noun koh-rah-SOHN Common

Usage Note

corazón keeps its accent in the singular but drops it in the plural, corazones, where the stress shift makes it unnecessary. It doubles as a term of endearment, like 'sweetheart'.

Examples

"Mi corazón late rápido."

Natural Translation

My heart beats fast.
