Spanish Noun: Sabio

Spanish Noun: Sabio

Translation: Wise and educated

Function: Noun

One who has both talent and knowledge, and also gets to produce new ideas is known in Spanish as ‘sabio’. Sometimes the word is mistakenly used as ‘erudito’ [erudite], but this last word means knowing many things about many topics, not necessarily related with one another.

Also, if you get to know about somebody who knows a great deal about one subject, but doesn´t produce that many new ideas, you can call him/her ‘docto’ [taught]

Example:

No solo era erudita sino sabia también

Translation:

Not only did she was an erudite, but a wise woman as well
