If you’ve ever wondered how to say Mexico City in Spanish, the most direct translation is Ciudad de México – but that’s just the start of the story.

Because if you ask someone who actually lives in Mexico, you’ll quickly realise that the way locals refer to their capital is highly contextual, often playful, and sometimes deliberately ambiguous. So if you want to sound more like a local – and less like a textbook – here’s what you need to know.

If you’re learning Spanish or preparing for a trip to a Spanish-speaking country, one word you’ll want to get to grips with early on is “start.”

    The most common translation for “start” in Spanish is empezar.
    It’s a verb that means “to start” or “to begin.” For example:
    Vamos a empezar la clase.  “We’re going to start the class.”

You might also see comenzar, which is a near synonym and used in much the same way. Depending on the country or region, one may be more common than the other – empezar is generally more widely used in everyday speech, while comenzar can sound slightly more formal or poetic.
