Did you know?
- Because 'cobbler' is a highly specific North American dessert, Spanish speakers often borrow the English word directly instead of using the Spanish word for 'shoemaker', which is zapatero.
- The word durazno comes from the Latin dūracinus, which is a combination of dūrus, meaning 'hard', and acinus, meaning 'stone' or 'pit'.
- While the word durazno is standard in much of Latin America, people in Spain almost exclusively use the word melocotón for the same fruit.
Examples in context
- El cobbler de durazno está muy caliente.The peach cobbler is very hot.
