flutu<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n In its infinitive form flj\u00f3ta<\/strong> is similar enough to the English word float<\/em>, but conjugated it can look similar to forms of fl\u00fdta<\/strong> or

are other basic vocabulary words learned early on related to flj\u00faga<\/strong> and ideas of flight<\/em>, makes enough difference that it doesn’t cause much confusion.<\/p>\n\r\nflug n
