Snob

Snob
 

Please, how do you say Snob in Spanish? :cool:

I believe you can say esnob. In Mexico, una persona fresa, is a stuck-up, snobbish person.

Don't be a snob = No seas fresa.

That fresa thing is lovely, David. I would say "No seas cursi"

Cursi would be the better way of saying snob, since it would be understood in more places. But in Mexico this usage of fresa is really common.

I've heard the word "pesado"/"pesao" used in Puerto Rico, to mean snobbish or stuck up.

Over here pesado means a pain in the neck.

I'll remember that next time my husband gets on my nerves :-)

I´ve heard the esnob option, but then, I thought that since almost all Spanish people pronounce the English "S" as "ES", my friend was only trying to speak English.

jajajaja.
Now, I remember the cursi thing, Iris.:D

...:thumbsup:

Rusty, Great list of synonyms! :thumbsup:

Pesado can also be rough/mean.

No jueguen pesado.
Don't play so rough.

No seas pesado con ella.
Don't be mean to her.

cursi
 

I always thought that cursi meant something more along the line of tacky...

Marsopa

I always thought cursi meant course and rude.
Could you say con la nariz en el aire?

I believe you can say ser nariz parada.

Nunca he oído ese juego de narices que os traéis, Rusty y Poli.
Sí lo he oído con respecto a la barbilla: ... lleva siempre la barbilla muy alta. Pero no significa snob ni cursi, sino orgulloso.

You have the same idea in English. If I tell you "Keep your chin up" I mean there's no reason for you to be ashamed.You also have the expression "to stand tall".

I was just testing the editor to see if it would put the tomisimo link with the word. It appears to be working well.
