My first time in Mexico was through an interchange with schools. I was the best speaker on the trip (after our teacher of course), and I remember getting up the first morning in my host family’s house, and the mother calling up the stairs to me, “Bajate, bajate,” which means come down. I thought that sounds a lot like, “Bajese,” which also means come down but is used with the usted form. She was using the more familiar tu form, which I had yet to study. So I couldn’t possibly be right about what she was saying so I went back into my room to look in my Spanish book. I’m sure my host family thought I was weird.

Indeed. “Je suis chaud” means “I’m hot.” “J’ai chaud” means “I’m hot.” Now, which one do you mean?

I wouldn’t call it a trap. It’s more like a funhouse. Things do not always mean what you think they mean!
