How To Say Helmet In Spanish
1. Helmet – casco
Antes de subir a una bicleta o motocicleta, es importante ponerse un casco.
(Before getting on a bike or motorcycle, it is important to put on a helmet.)
“Casco” is a word that you will hear very often in Colombia. That’s because in Colombia, many people ride “motos” or “motocicletas” (motorcycles) instead of driving cars.
In fact, in Colombia there is a word for a paid “asesino” (assassin, killer or hitman) who usually — but not always — kills from a “moto.” The word is “sicario.”
El traficante no fue la primera víctima del sicario.
(The drug trafficker was not the first victim of the assassin.)
(Notice that “víctima” is always feminine. Even when it refers to a male.)

2. Cáscara – the exterior part or cover of certain things, such as the shell of an egg, or the peel of a piece of fruit.
El niño comió la naranja con cáscara.
The boy ate the orange with the peel.
3. Fuerza de voluntad – will power
No tengo mucha fuerza de voluntad. Por eso como demasiado.
(I don’t have much will power. So I eat too much.)
