It gets even better once we dive into the more informal words or uses of words...

For example, "El gatito" = "The Kitten". "El gatillo" = "The Trigger"....or "The Kitten", depending on context.

There's also a problem common everytime you're dealing with a different language: Sometimes, some words just don't have an equivalent in another language. For example, "Snark". It's an english word with a defined meaning, but it has no equivalent word in spanish. There is no spanish version of Snark whatsoever.

You can describe what it means, but it has no word itself, so there's no way to say stuff like "that guy's full of snark" or "snark bait" or similar, unless you're willing to replace "snark" with a sentenceful of it's definition.
