El animal más agradable: curiosidades del tapibara

What does “aguas termales” mean in Spanish?

The clip says the capybara’s favourite thing is to relax in “aguas termales y charcos” — thermal springs and puddles. “Aguas” means waters and “termales” links to heat, the same idea as the English “thermal.” Together they name a place: naturally hot water bubbling up from the earth. That cognate makes the phrase easy to pick up. Warm springs, muddy puddles — pure capybara life.

Spoken line: “Su actividad favorita es relajarse en aguas termales y charcos.” — “Its favourite activity is relaxing in thermal springs and puddles.” More examples: - “Fuimos a unas aguas termales en la montaña.” — “We went to some hot springs in the mountains.” - “El agua termal sale caliente de la tierra.” — “The thermal water comes out of the ground warm.” - “Después de caminar, un baño en aguas termales es perfecto.” — “After hiking, a soak in hot springs is perfect.” Usage notes: You will often see it in the plural, “aguas termales,” when talking about a place you visit to bathe. The singular “agua termal” describes the water itself. The word “termal” links to heat — the same root as “thermal” in English.
