New Puzzle:
Some words can be used as both nouns and adjectives. In this teaser, you will be given a definition. That definition can be replaced by a single word that is used twice, once as an adjective, the other as a noun.
For example: "a 12 inch podiatrist specialty" is a "foot foot".
Given the following four definitions, what are the corresponding doublets?
1) a current gift
2) a secure bank vault
3) a short formal statement
4) a fragile supply ship

1. present present
2. safe safe
3. brief brief
4. tender tender
Regarding #5 and #18 in the last puzzle - #18 is indeed Spanish, but what about the origin of #5? I believe it is incorrectly marked as Spanish.
Yes, well done, Sarah.
And thanks for pointing out the error, Alexandra!
I think there might have been some confusion with the Spanish word "felices" (meaning "happy").
