Excelente! 640+ Spanish Words That Start with E (with Audio)

The letter E is the second most common letter in the Spanish language, just barely losing out to the letter A.

In most cases, the letter E is pronounced as a close-mid front un-rounded vowel, similar to the “e” sound in the English word “bet.” Unlike in English, which sometimes uses a silent E, every time you see the letter, it should be pronounced—even if it’s at the end of a word!

You might see an accent mark above the letter E sometimes. This is done either to indicate word stress (such as in the word teléfono, telephone) or to differentiate between homophones. For instance, él (he) is different from el (the), where the accent on the former distinguishes it from the latter.

As you can imagine, there are many words in Spanish that start with E. Let’s dive right in to over 640 of them!
