sauno

sauna

noun SAH-oo-noh Rare

Origin: Borrowed from Finnish sauna.

Usage Note

Sauno is a rare, non-standard variant; the usual word is sauna, which is feminine: la sauna. Despite the -a ending being unexpected for a borrowing, Spanish treats sauna as feminine. Learners should use la sauna in normal speech.

Natural Translation
