inglesa

Englishwoman

noun eeng-GLEH-sah Rare

Also means

English (woman)

Usage Note

Inglesa is the feminine form of inglés and functions both as a noun (an Englishwoman) and as an adjective (la cultura inglesa). Note that in Spanish, nationalities are not capitalised. A false friend note: in Spanish inglés/inglesa refers specifically to English people (from England), while británico/a covers the broader British identity — a distinction English speakers sometimes overlook.

Examples

"La inglesa habló español con mucho acento."

Natural Translation

The Englishwoman spoke Spanish with a strong accent.
