Answer 1

I think that the word 'nerd' is pretty universal and everyone will understand you if you just say 'nerd'.

Me gusta su camiseta. - a-YU-dar, Dec 9, 2012

Heshould be wearing an anorak! - annierats, Dec 10, 2012

Answer 2

Best not to say it at all, But if you must say something "Especial" works for me.

The dictionary says "el pazguato" or petardo(a)

Answer 3

Bienvenid@ al foro

Corrección:Por favor, ayúdenme

Se dice "nerd" y también oí "empollón" hace unos meses en un podcast de España.

Additional corrections: Spanish (capital 's' ...'sh' not 'ch')

Answer 4

In Colombia, I used and heard, "cerebrito", "sabelotodo", "teso or tesa"

Nerds are not sabelotodos, because they are fixed on nerdy things.. - annierats, Dec 10, 2012

Hey Farallon! ¿Cuánto tiempo! :) - Kiwi-Girl, Dec 10, 2012

I know Kiwi! I needed a break! How are things going? - farallon7, Dec 10, 2012

Annie, that is not what wikipedia says! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerd, (overly intelectual, obsessive, and even socially impaired = those are typical qualities of a "sabelotodo or cerebrito") - farallon7, Dec 10, 2012

Good thanks, nice to see you around :) - Kiwi-Girl, Dec 10, 2012

Thanks! Same here! - farallon7, Dec 10, 2012

Answer 7

¿Tiene pinta de anorak?

In English nerd and anorak are fairly interchangeable, but the garment may not have taken on this meaning in Spanish speaking countries.

Answer 8

He looked kind of nerdy. / Tenía un poco de pinta de empollón.

I doubt there is an "equivalent" in Spanish.
