What language has more everyday words?

Hello. I'd like to know which language has more everyday words, English or Spanish , and about how many.
If you could help me, thank you.

Hi Sebastian What do you mean by "everyday words"? If you're referring to the total number of words in general, I would assume that English has far more than Spanish.

Maybe you are referring to words used in everyday conversations.
Well, there are not many in English. Less than in Italian, at least, I guess.
In my dialect there are very little, anyway. There are no formal words, only informal ones (my dialect is never used in formal situations).

Touché! LOL (I was going to answer that English had 17, but I forgot which 17 I had in mind after I read your post.)
