### Three kinds of attack

| Spanish | what it usually means |
|---|---|
| **el ataque** | an attack in general |
| **la agresión** | a violent attack on a person, an assault |
| **el atentado** | a planned attack, usually a terrorist one |

**La agresión** is usually against one person or a few people:

{{item:1254592}}

In the news, **un atentado** is usually a terrorist attack or a bombing; it can also be an attempt on a public figure's life.

{{item:1254594}}

### Reporting it

**Poner una denuncia** is to report a crime to the police, usually at **la comisaría**; **denunciar** says the same in one verb. A complaint to a shop or a company is usually **una queja** or **una reclamación** instead.

{{item:1254598}}

**El residente** / **la residente** is someone who officially lives in a place: parking for **residentes**, a foreign **residente** in Spain.

{{item:1254610}}

The people who live in your own building or street are usually **los vecinos**.

### Diverting, and one adjective

**Desviar** is to send traffic, a flight or a phone call another way; **el desvío** is the detour. It stresses the **í** in some present forms: **desvío**, **desvían**.

{{item:1254606}}

**Homosexual** has one form for masculine and feminine, and the plural **homosexuales**. People in Spain also say **gay**.
