Did you know?
- While a farmacia is the modern term for a store like Walgreens, some regions still use botica, a word that historically referred to a small apothecary shop where medicines were mixed by hand.
- Because Walgreens is a proper noun, Spanish speakers do not translate the name, but they will apply Spanish gender and pluralization rules to the articles surrounding it when speaking.
- A person in a Spanish-speaking country might use the word boticario to describe a person who works in a place similar to a 'Walgreens', though this sounds very historical.
