rico
adjective: rich
-
Just like English rich, rico can refer to literal wealth:
la gente
rica rich or wealthy people -
When something is rich in something else, the preposition you use is en:
la gente
rica rich or wealthy peopleTenemos una dieta excesivamenterica en proteínas. We have a diet which is excessively rich in proteins. -
Rico differs from English rich in referring to delicious food and flavours. Notice that you use estar, not ser:
la gente
rica rich or wealthy peopleTenemos una dieta excesivamenterica en proteínas. We have a diet which is excessively rich in proteins.Prueba esta ensaladilla, está muyrica , que la mahonesa es casera. Try some of this Russian salad, it’s delicious, the mayonnaise is homemade.
