City, town or village

Question

Let's see. I want to check if I am right about the meaning of these words:

City- ciudad grande

Town- ciudad o pueblo grande

Village- pueblo

As always, thank you.

Answer 1

You are exactly right, Nila.

I would not change anything!

This is simple and straightforward.

Answer 2

I'd agree with Renae and say this is perfect Great job!

Answer 3

I don't mean to muddy the waters, because in essence I agree with Renae and hLs. But...

This just happens to be a topic about which I have had friendly debates with my friends over the years. The reason that there can even be a debate is because there is a wide range of understanding what these three words mean, at least in the USA.

So Nila my short answer is: What you said is correct.

My long answer is:

The City of Pineville, Kentucky USA Population: 1,990

The City of Louisville, Kentucky USA Population: 713,877

The Town of Tuxedo, New York USA Population: 719

The Town of Hempstead, New York USA Population: 765,111

The Village of Sagaponack, New York USA Population: 618

The Village of Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin USA Population: 34,607

You decide!

True. The titles such a municiplality depend on incorporation laws that vary widely from state to state. Size or population is only one factor. - 0074b507, Feb 26, 2010

As you will understand I am not going to complicate my life with your links, chaparrito. I prefer Renae's answer. This way at least,, I know something. - nila45, Feb 26, 2010

Yo haría igual, si fuera tú. :-) - chaparrito, Feb 26, 2010

Answer 4

City- Ciudad. Town- Pueblo. Village- Aldea.

Awesome, but in this case, Nila is asking about English, Hansen - renaerules, Feb 26, 2010
