I think there's lacking an "u": quincho. Anyway, I don't know its meaning :confused:

Que diablos es eso.

Ya lo respondió Hernán, Robin... y puedes ver en el diccionario de Tomísimo lo que significa gazebo. ;)

hi robin - a gazebo is an open-air summerhouse; may or may not be
screened in.

Gazebo sounds Italian to me. Am I right ?

[ROBINDESBOIS]

open-air you mean with no roof?

[poli]

Un quiosco que se ve en el centro de unas plazas. A veces tocan músicos alli.

This sounds like a bandstand to me.
This could also be described as a gazebo, which has a roof without sides.
It looks like a Spanish word to me, but obviously it is not known in Spain. It has to be Italian then!!

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

In no dictionary I've consulted there is a certain origin for the word, but it doesn't exist in Italian.

[irmamar]

In Spanish: templete.

According to the ethymology dictionary


gazebo (http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=gazebo) http://www.etymonline.com/graphics/dictionary.gif (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=gazebo) 1752, supposedly a facetious formation from gaze + -bo, L. first pers. sing. future tense suffix (cf. videbo "I shall see"), on model of earlier belvedere "cupola," from It. bello verde "handsome sight." But most likely a corruption of some oriental word.

Hi everyone, and thank you for your responses. The text (from Argentina) I was translating spoke of a "enorme parrilla bajo la protección de un quincho".
Sounds like gazebo to me.
Again thank you.

I would call these a grilling hut, or a barbecue area.
