old-fashioned boricua words 🇵🇷
i’ve been reading a lot of 19th century spanish lit lately and there are a LOT of words there that in other countries might sound antiquated but that in puerto rico are commonly used today! they’re not actually old-fashioned given that they’re still in use, but to someone not used to hearing them, they might sound different. here are some examples, all words i’ve read recently in older literature that puerto ricans use today. some of them have shifted slightly in meaning from their 19th century counterparts!
(pr word - english translation - word in another dialect, then an explanation if needed)
los espejuelos - glasses - los lentes, las gafas
el anaquel - bookshelf - el librero, el estante
bregar - to deal with something - lidiar
bellaco - horny - caliente (if you listen to reggaeton you probably knew this one! in older literature it's used to mean someone evil, a wicked scoundrel)
¡diantre! - an expression you shout in surprise, like "damn!" - ¡diablos!
el embuste - lie - la mentira
el tiesto - flowerpot - la maceta (careful with the word maceta in pr, it can either mean 'stingy' or 'penis'. i found out the hard way while planting flowers.)
la peseta - 25 cent coin (so there isn't really a equivalent in other dialects (other than moneda de 25 centavos) since it's a term used to describe money in the US, but the currency in spain before the euro was the peseta - so interesting how it shifts meaning to become more specific)
los chavos - money - el dinero, la plata (from the word ochavo, which is an older currency denomination)
el mahón - jeans - el jean, los vaqueros, el bluyín, etc.
