Did you know?
- When discussing luxury brands in Spanish, the term firma is frequently used as a synonym for 'house' or 'brand', as seen in the phrase la firma Dior.
- The pronunciation of the 'r' at the end of Dior in Spanish is much more forceful and alveolar than the soft, silent, or uvular 'r' sounds found in French.
- Spanish speakers avoid using Dior as an adjective, so they say 'un vestido de Dior' instead of 'un vestido Dior'.
