/fjesta de imbjeɾno/from spelling rules
The English phrase "winter party" is translated into Spanish as fiesta de invierno.
Did you know?
- If you are planning a fiesta de invierno, you might hear the term posadas used in Mexico, which refers to specific traditional winter celebrations.
- The Spanish word invierno shares the same Proto-Indo-European root as the English word 'hibernate'. Both words are fundamentally linked to the idea of winter and sheltering.
- The word fiesta comes from the Latin fēsta. Interestingly, the initial 'f' remained in this word even though most other Spanish words from Latin changed that 'f' to a silent 'h'.
