/soi una kɾeaθjon admiɾable/from spelling rules
The phrase "I am fearfully and wonderfully made" is translated into Spanish as soy una creación admirable.
This phrase is used to express that a person is a marvelous and complex creation of God.
Did you know?
- The word una in this phrase is the feminine form of 'one'. This means that if a man were to use a similar construction focusing on himself as a 'creation', the feminine una would still be used because creación is a feminine noun regardless of the person's gender.
- While soy una creación admirable is used in religious contexts, the word creación is also used in Spanish to describe the entire physical universe. A speaker might refer to the 'creation' as both a single person and the whole of nature.
- The word soy comes from the Latin sum, but it gained its characteristic 'y' ending due to the influence of other common verbs like voy and doy during the Old Spanish period.
