what does "cizena" mean in english

Question

what does cizeña means in english

Answer 1

Welcome to the forum! A native speaker may be able to think of something else, but aside from a proper name, I can't come up with anything in Spanish for "cizeña".

If you possibly mean "cizaña", that literally means "tares", or "chaff" which is the useless plant material disposed of at the harvest of grain. Figuratively it means "discord". I don't know how common the word is outside of the Bible.

Have you heard the expression "meter cizaña"? It's quite common. "Ya está bastante enfadado. ¡No metas más cizaña!" - Cordobesa, Feb 29, 2012

Welcome to the forum, Alex

Jool and Cisco are right. As far as I know, Cizena doesn't exist in Spanish.

I think that "Cicena" is a surname in some South America countries.

Answer 3

¡Hola alek!...A warm welcome to Q&A. This doesn't appear to be any word that I've ever heard of. Perhaps it's a typing error, it happens quite a lot in some of the questions. Usually someone (like yourself) has seen the word written down and can't find it in 'any' dictionary. Quite often it doesn't exist, so the nearest word I can find to it is: 'Cizaña' which means, 'Discord'. If any native speakers are out there and happen to be reading this, then please give 'alek' the info: Regards...Jool.
