Tengo + (dos) + (orejas).
To say you have a body part, start with 'Tengo', then the number, then the body part. It's like building with blocks! 🧱
Using 'Una' for 'One'
Tengo + una + (nariz).
For body parts you only have one of, like a nose or mouth, we use 'una' for 'one'. It means the word is a 'girl' word in Spanish.
