dupla

pair; duo

noun DOO-plah Rare

Usage Note

Dupla is predominantly used in Latin America (especially Argentina, Uruguay, Chile) to mean a pair or duo — often in sports (a striking partnership), music, or work. In Spain dúo or pareja would be more natural. The masculine duplo exists but means 'double the amount' (a numeral), not a pair of people.

Examples

"Forman una dupla imparable en el campo."

Natural Translation

They form an unstoppable duo on the pitch.
