Spanish Noun:Federico- Fede Verónica- Vero
Pronunciation:Fay-dayh, Bay-roh
Translation:Frederick, Veronica
Function: noun
You’ll find nowadays new shortened names in use. Don’t take these funny, but classic ones as ‘Beto’ [short for Roberto] or ‘Lupe’ [short for Guadalupe] are being used less, and ‘Robe’ or ‘Guada’ are in fashion instead.
Practically anything goes, and the rule is easy: just chop the final one or two syllables.
Example:Diles Vero y Fede, no Verónica y Federico
Translation:Tell them Vero and Fede, not Veronica and Federico
