What does Paciente mean?


Practice Version


Paciente:
Patient. Paciente. In Spanish, "paciente" can mean both a person receiving medical care and someone who is tolerant and calm.
Example:
Paciente means “patient” in Spanish—both someone who waits calmly and someone receiving medical care. Picture a patient in a waiting room, watching the clock: “Patience… patience… paciente!” The words look alike, and the scene gives you both meanings: a paciente trying to be paciente.
