My son has to write sentences, one of the words is mono - the n is an "enya" but I don't know how to type that in

Thanks

Answer 1

An "enya"? Is that an ñ? (we call it eñe)

Mono = monkey
Moño = topknot

Copy & paste from here.

Answer 5

Although topknot is correct, the more common word for this women's hairstyle is "bun." At least in American English...

We use topknot for those old-fashioned Japanese and Chinese hairstyles, among others.

Answer 6

Thank you all, can someone tell me how to key in "ene" for future translations?

Strange that a 1st graders spelling word means topknot or bun. He is in a Spanish Immersion class, I just wish they'd give the parents the English translation we need to help them with their homework.
Thanks goodness for this site, I've started taking the basic lessons here myself.

And I was trying to avoid "bun" because I thought it was too much of a vague word (i.e. a bun is a kind of bread, or the bottom).

Answer 9

When I hear moño I think of a bow, like a ribbon tied in a bow. But I think the question was how to type an eñe. In your word processor program you should be able to insert it as a symbol. But depending on which one you have there should be an easier way to do it. On mine I hold down Ctrl and Shift at the same time, while doing that I push the button to the left of the 1 key (it has the tilde above what looks like a reversed comma.) Then I let go of all that and hit the n. On my version of Word that does it.

There are a number of ways to type accents. there are topics on the forum about it that can be searched out. If you don't want to go to too much trouble , and you are using Windows, There is also a program in Windows called Character map that will let you paste special characters into your document.

Answer 13

"When I hear moño I think of a bow, like a ribbon tied in a bow."

I too was under the impression that moño meant possibly a ribbon tied in a bow, but also a bow tie, like part of a tuxedo. Perhaps that´s what his vocab word was referring too'

Answer 14

Look under the forum FAQ for "How do I type the Spanish accent marks'".

Answer 15

A quick answer if that's the only letter you want, is ALT held down and then 164 on the numerical pad.
