Anyone speak Spanish ?
Apr. 6th, 2005 10:48 amI've just had an enquiry from my mother: someone in her office needs to know the meaning of the Spanish word "paqueña". Any ideas ?
I've tried a couple of on-line dictionaries, but they don't contain it. I don't know whether this means they're rubbish, the word is colloquial, or the word is jut plain wrong.
Thanks for any help.
Update: Thanks to a non-LJ source of help, I can now reveal that a Paqueña is a lady from La Paz. A Paqueño is a gentleman from that city.
Update2: And having ferried the information back, via the mother, to the original enquirer... it turns out that yes, they did want to know what "pequeña" meant, but typo'd when asking.
