Don't be niquitous and read until the end
Some are part of Spanish and are included in the RAE, others are on everyone's lips but not in the pages of any dictionary and the others integrate the rest of the languages spoken in Spain. In total, 52 words with which David Justo wants you to enrich your vocabulary.
To put a limit on the content of the map, David decided choose a word by province , although he clarifies in his article that “not all of them are related to a specific province, but with the relevant autonomous community”.
“In some autonomous communities, like Euskadi, for example, it is likely that a word is used in all provinces. For the same reason, this time I have preferred to choose the words based on the communities, and not on the provinces” , he nuances Traveler.es.
Let's enrich the language
“I have chosen those that appear on the map since, in some cases, they contribute something that Spanish does not offer . Words like ' luscofusco', 'gaupasa' or 'desfici' they should be there because they are special words and that they would be very useful”, he assures.
Popular knowledge has been what has marked their selection criteria. “Given that I wanted to incorporate words that were rarely used or that were not even in the RAE, I decided to discard the option to consult in the dictionary” he explains.
Adobado, xino-xano and desfici are their favorites from this edition. "I think three words are very necessary today."
And yes, he already thinks of second parts thanks to the contributions of the people. “In Cantabria, for example, they have recommended 'pindio' to me, a word that is used to talk about a very steep slope. In Andalusia, 'preñao' as a synonym for heavy, and in Aragon, 'escobar' as a synonym for sweeping”.
