Word: Funny
I was curious on how the word "funny" was spelled.
My Spanish dictionary only shows "gracioso" as in
"esa la muy gracioso"
Lesson 1.4 says
"la pelicula fue chestiso"
Which is mostly used? I can picture myself using this word quite often.

Hola Ronaldo,
The words "Gracioso / Graciosa" and "Chistoso / Chistosa" are quite similar in meaning and can be used in very similar situations although I think "Chistoso" is used more when there is a joke involved and "Gracioso" when a person does something funny...
.. so picture this... if someone tells a good joke, the actual joke is "Chistoso" but the person who told it so well is very "Gracioso".
I hope that helps.
Mauricio.
