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.

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"?

Since I don't know what any of them mean, you tell me! LOL

�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?
