Today's Spanish WOTD is not a word but a fun fact: when Mexicans are trying to make a Spanish word into an English word, they jokingly add "-ation" to the end (like Americans add "-o" to an English word to make it sound like Spanish). Not sure if other Spanish speakers do this?

English has many pairs of words where '-th' was once added to make a noun out of the other, like 'width' and 'wide'.
My favourites are the ones for which the link may not be obvious now, like:
- 'mirth' and 'merry'
- 'drought' and 'dry'
- 'filth' and 'foul'
- 'sloth' and 'slow'
