How do you say SOLTERONA in English?
"An OLD MAID you called me? I just bought the apartment you rent. Ha, ha!" The word is SPINSTER which refers to one of the very few jobs women were allowed in the past: spinning thread. A SPINSTER is an unmarried woman, childless and perhaps bitter. These days the term has acquired a connotation and is used for mature women who stand on their own and don't need a man to get on with their lives. Another common term, perhaps more appropriate for being less offensive is OLD MAID.
