What's a SOBRIQUET in Spanish?
 |
| "I have another with the words I Love Nicknames" |
SOBRIQUET is just another way to say NICKNAME. The original spelling of this word includes a U (SOUBRIQUET) but the pronunciation is the same. It is another example of a word that was taken from French and incorporated to the English bank of words.
SOBRIQUET in Spanish is APODO or SOBRENOMBRE.
There are differences though. NICKNAMES can be offensive, but SOBRIQUETS not necessarily. Another thing: SOBRIQUETS are never shortened forms of a name, e.g. Robert is the name and Bob, the nickname but not the SOBRIQUET. Finally, SOBRIQUETS take the shape of epithets.
Here is an example of a SOBRIQUET: because of its vast cultural baggage, Cuenca is appropriately called "La Atenas del Ecuador". (The Athens of Ecuador).
