EDUCATED vs. POLITE

Good morning. Today we are going to learn the difference between the adjectives EDUCATED and POLITE. EDUCATED It describes: someone who has received a good education and has a lot of knowledge. Example 1: They are only hiring educated people who have doctorate degrees. Example 2: I am very educated because my parents put a lot of emphasis on school, studying and books. In fact, we didn't even have a television at home when I was growing up. POLITE It describes: someone who behaves courteously to others or who follows all of the behavioural rules of society. Example 3 Please and Thank you are the first polite words that children usually learn. Example 4 There is some debate today about whether people are as polite as they used to be. Schools especially report having problems with this aspect of behaviour. NOTE: From the above examples, you can see that the English word educated is a false friend that means con estudios/con formación and NOT educado.
