what is the Spanish translation to "donuts"--the plural form

Question

I am just looking for the Spanish translation of the English word "donuts". Thanks for your time.

Answer 1

Hi Rose and welcome to the forum,

Here is the dictionary entry for the word "donut":donut. To make it plural, add "es".

los dónutes

Answer 2

No, when is a foreign word in most of cases you keep the plural.

It would be "donuts" just like English.

You can also traslate the word and to say "rosquilla" or plural "rosquillas".

• I wholeheartedly agree with this answer. I have never heard "dónutes", sounds extremely weird to me, and I'd never use it. Where I hail from, we say "donas". - Gekkosan Mar 19, 2010

Answer 4

In Mexico we call them 'Donas', which I'm pretty sure came from 'donuts' Who knows! 'Rosquillas' is their "correct" name, if you call them that way in Mexico you'd be understood, however 'dona' is more common here .
