HomeQ&Aanginas'? A Spanish-speaking client yesterday used the word 'anginas' and was describing something in the throat. The only translation I can find is 'angina,' which of course makes perfect sense but has nothing to do with the throat...

whatever anginas are supposed to be according to the dictionary, provincial mexicans say "tengo anginas" updated FEB 25, 2009 posted by Martin-Rizzi I freequently see people in my practice who complain of anginas, my take on it is sore throat such as strep throat or secondary to post nasal drip etc. Not a specific diagnosis but a symptom. Amigdilas= tonsils ---| amigdalitis is a specific diagnosis of tonsilitis. updated FEB 25, 2009 posted by Tumblebug
Since you are the second person to say that, I checked with the RAE, and it turns out that angina is used colloquially for tonsils and for tonsilitis, although the more correct word is amígdalas. angina. (Del lat. ang'na, de ang're, sofocar). 1. f. Inflamación de las amígdalas o de estas y de la faringe. U. m. en pl. con el mismo significado que en sing. 2. f. pl. coloq. amígdalas. So, Joy, your client could have been talking about having a sore throat due to problems with the tonsils. updated FEB 25, 2009 posted by 00bacfba updated FEB 25, 2009 posted by Carys
Martin, I don't think that's correct. As others have said, tonsils are amígdalas, and anginas are something else. By the way, when the Star Wars movies came out, and I saw Princess Amidala, I wondered if the Spanish version of the movies would have her named Princesa Tonsila or something. hehe updated FEB 25, 2009 posted by 00bacfba updated FEB 25, 2009 posted by Martin-Rizzi amígdalas = tonsils
> updated FEB 25, 2009 posted by Valerie and look for the translation of amigdalas if you want ... updated FEB 25, 2009 posted by ninozka hello anginas = amigdalas part of the body that helps to combat infecctions ..they are in both sides of the throat but not in the throat sore throat means an infecction in the throat that may be caused by the inflamation of the anginas o amigdalas updated FEB 25, 2009 posted by ninozka updated FEB 25, 2009 posted by Martin-Rizzi Thank you... I feel very silly. I've gotten into the habit of using the Translator on this site, and forgot that it also has a dictionary. The translator only had 'angina.'
