hermosa vista
/eɾmosa bista/from spelling rules
The English phrase "beautiful view" is translated into Spanish as hermosa vista.
Hermosa vista refers to a scene of natural or architectural beauty that is pleasing to look at.
Which one should you use?
While hermosa vista can feel more poetic or emphatic, the more casual bonita vista is a common way to say "pretty view". You can also say vista hermosa by placing the adjective after the noun to achieve the same meaning.
Is it said differently in some regions?
In Latin American countries, you will often hear the phrase Bello paisaje.
How does it change in a sentence?
