La palabra primorosa

Question

"primorosa", how is it used? Is this word that means Gorgeous or exquisite in common use in any areas? I seem to be the only one using this word.

Answer 1

It is not a common used word, but it is not a strange. I have hear it a lot of times in the weddings:

La novia va primorosa

The bride looks exquisite

Answer 2

primoroso, primorosa adjetivo

1.
Que es bello y está hecho con habilidad, cuidado o delicadeza.
"la decoración del anverso es de hilo de oro trenzado formando primorosa filigrana"
2.
[persona] Que tiene habilidad, cuidado o delicadeza al hacer o decir una cosa.
"es un pintor primoroso que cuida todos los detalles"

To be honest, I never use that word. But let's wait for others to see if it's used in other places! Some other words that I would normally use in the examples from the definition above are prolijo and fino.

Answer 3

I think it's becoming old fashioned. Only a few older people use it over here, e.g.

¡Es un primoroso día!

Hey!!! Watch that about "older people"!!!! ;-) - Winkfish, Aug 13, 2015
