Hi everyone. I am a 32 year old college student who has never had ANY foreign language. This next fall and spring I will be taking Spanish, so finding this area of BellaOnline is awesome! I am sure you will find me here a lot, asking questions. I have additional motivation to do well in my classes, as we are planning a trip to Mexico for next summer.
Michelle

Hey! That word, "newbie".
How could it be translated into Spanish?
I guess we could say "nuevo-nueva".
There is another word: "novato". According to www.wordreference.com:
novato -ta adjetivo inexperienced, new ■ sustantivo masculino, femenino novice, beginner
But, when we use "novato", it also implies the idea of being very, very inexperienced.
So, between these two words: "nuevo" - "novato", which one would you choose as the closest translation for "newbie"?
;-)

�Hola!
Yes, maybe Angie could be closer! After having asked some questions here and there, I guess the best translation for newbie would be "novato" (masculine adjective) or "novata" (feminine adjective), meaning something/someone new to something, or someone who's just starting doing something?
