Did you know?
- The Spanish word orgullo was borrowed from the Catalan word orgull, which itself came from the Vulgar Latin *orgollium.
- The Spanish word orgullo can also mean 'arrogance' or 'conceit' in a negative sense, so the context of the celebration is vital to ensure you are expressing positive pride.
- While you might use Feliz Orgullo to wish someone well, if you are describing the feeling of being proud of one's identity, you would often use the verb phrase sentirse orgulloso instead of the noun.
