Thread: ¿Cuál es la forma correcta: neoyorquino o neoyorkino?

Hi Amayo, I don't think we're only argentinians, but all Spanish speakers says "Nueva York", that's because we know perfectly well that "New" translates as "Nueva", but how to translate the word "York"? in other cases we have "invented" the translation of other proper nouns, for example "New Zealand"->"Nueva Zelanda".

This is hilarious!!!! haha

Mira, no tenia idea que se puede usar las dos. Nunca escuche neoyorkino.

Quise decir que nunca lo vi escrito de esa manera.
