Spanish Adverb: Antaño
Author: Johns SmithSpanish Adverb: Antaño
Pronunciation: Ahn-tah-nyoh
Translation: Times gone
Function: Adverb
‘Antaño’ is a very old word about very old times, and gives Spanish sentences the flavor of times gone past: ‘Ya no hacen vinos como los de antaño’ [they don´t make wines as in the old times] If you find it resembles the word ‘año’ [year], you are right, they are related: ‘antaño’ comes from ‘ante-’ [before -] and ‘año’ [year]
‘Como en antaño’ is very much in use, but the ‘en’ is out of place: ‘como antaño’ (‘como antes’) is the right way to use this word.
Example:
Las mujeres de antaño no podían estudiar en las universidades.
Translation:
In the old times, women couldn´t study in universities.
