Test to determine the size of your Spanish (or English) vocabulary

[Tomisimo]

I ran across a test that attempts to determine the size of your Spanish vocabulary. They present 100 sequences of letters, and you decide if each one is a valid word or not.

There's also a similar test for English vocabulary.

¡Buenísimo! ¡Me ha hecho devanarme los sesos con algunas palabrejas!

Un saludo.

¡Genial! Hay palabras inventadas muy obvias, pero otras sí hay que dudar si existen.

Gracias por compartirlo, David.

I found both tests to be interesting and fun. Thanks for finding and sharing them!

That was fun. So many words I never saw of heard for one reason or another. On the other hand there were others that had me guessing like cominillo which I guessed I knew and was correct, and other like bobillo which I guessed I knew and was completely wrong.

Yo realicé ambas pruebas y he de decir que tuve bastante suerte en la de inglés porque, mira por donde, casi todas las que me tocaron eran de origen latino y sobre terminología biológica. Saqué una nota del 90%. Vamos, igualito que si me hubiesen entrado términos literarios.

That was fun.

87% Spanish
77% English

I wonder if I repeat the tests the questions will be different.

I'll do it again tomorrow.

They will be. Did it twice and most of them were different.

Ah, thank you.

I enjoyed taking the tests in both languages. In English (my native language), I didn't accept any fake words, but I did miss a few that were words I didn't know. I did a bit worse in Spanish and accepted a few that don't exist.

One word I accepted, and they say is not a valid word in Spanish is "claverío". It may not really be a standard word, but it seems to me it would certainly apply if you walked in on your child playing with a bunch of nails and there were piles of all kinds of nails all over the room and floor...
