Spanish SUPERWORDS !

This subject has exercised me before but I was reading this morning and I came across a Spanish word which seems to do the job of lots of English words - so I call it a SUPERWORD.

The word was recordar and in the context in which it was used this morning it means 'to bring to mind' - the phrase was something like la casa recorda la casa de los Munsters. A single word that means so much more.

Another superword is saber. The number of times at beginners stage when I would write something like me gusta saber como hacer un video blog. Hands up if you've done it, too.

Any others you can think of?
