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...

Any ideas'

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.

whatever anginas are supposed to be according to the dictionary, provincial mexicans say "tengo anginas"
as they refer to the fact that their anginas are swollen. whatever these anginas are, they swell up and irritate.

'anginas' are tonsils

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.

anginas = tonsils

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

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.'
