When one translates from English to Spanish, that text is possibly to expand by 15 to 25%. This is due to Spanish is a quite detailed, poetic, and expressive language.

So, there has to be no surprise that the Spanish language is packed with interesting words.

Fortunately, for you, this blog post presents a list of some of the most exquisite Spanish words.

Dulce

Dulce means “sweet.”

You may identify it from the candy/dessert flavor “dulce de leche.” Dulce de leche is like a caramel, and it tastes as sweet as this word sounds.

Also, instead of calling someone “my sweet” in English, you can opt for “mi dulce,” which sounds quite sexy in Spanish.

Medianoche

“Medianoche” is made of the 2 Spanish words which means half and night.

Thus, when you are halfway through the night, it is midnight.

The English word “night” is so sharp and short. “Noche” sounds quite soft like you could just wrap yourself into it and go to sleep.

The Spanish term for “midnight snack” is a little bit of a mouthful, serving as one example of expanding text: bocadillo de medianoche.

That is 3 syllables vs. 10.

Naranja

Could you guess what this word stands for?

With a bright way this word rolls out off the tongue, it is difficult to believe that it simply stands “orange.”

Caricia

This word translates as “caress.”

While it is true that caress is a nice word in English as well, something about the -ia ending sounds so much more captivating.

Don’t you simply want to “dar una caricia” (give a caress) when you get to see your loved one?

Inmarcesible

“Inmarcesible” stands for “unfading.”

It could be used in reference to colors, a flower that hasn’t succumbed, or even undying love. Inmarcesible is a perfect example of a romantic word in a romance language.

Arrebol

“Arrebol” means “blush” or “glow.”

This word also refers to the pinkish color of the sky and clouds during the evenings.

Esperanza

The straightest translation for “esperanza” is hope, but it also stands for other beautiful things such as “promise” and “confidence.”

“Esperanza” is also a popular girl’s name. This name belongs to Jazz singer Esperanza Spalding and the main character in Sandra Cisneros’ novel, The House on Mango Street.
