minus-squareSkullgrid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 days ago Like recently where I am, it’s pushing “anticuado” as “outdated”. Except that is obviously “Antiquated”. … but isn’t that what it is? https://www.spanishdict.com/translate/outdated https://dle.rae.es/anticuado like if you say “paso un anciana en el camino” it doesn’t mean you passed an Ancient, you just passed by an old woman.
minus-squareAmyAye@nord.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 days agoI mean, yes but also anciana would kind of be the feminine word for “ancient/old person.” Ancient feels a bit derogatory like “really old” but that comes down to cultural differences than grammar.
