Answer 2

Hello Rosa,

Welcome to the SpanishDict forum

You asked:

How do you say Groomsmen in spanish?i know we say padrinos or chamberlanes but is there another word perhaps more clear or sufisticated?

I think you mean the word: sophisticated

I also think that the word you mean in Spanish is chambelanes (singular: chambélan) There is quite a bg difference in meaning between chambelanes at a formal dance (ball) which are escorts and padrinos which can mean several thngs as I have shown in my post further down..

What exactly are you trying to say in English, please? How are you intending to use the word. I ask this becuase people sometimes choose the wrong word or try to use it in the wrong way!

When you say 'groomsman' do you mean a groom (the man who is getting married) at a wedding?

The groom at a wedding is translared as el novio and the bride is la novia and together they are referred to as: los novios.

padrino can mean several things:

1.padrino at a baptism signfies = godfather

2.padrino at a wedding signifies = the man who gives away teh bride, usually the bride's father

3.as a protector it can mean = sponsor

4.in a duel can mean the second (Yes, I know that duels are dated have been outlawed!)

If this does not answer your question you need to rephrase it more clearly by telling us what you are trying to say in English.

I hope this helps

Feliz, in the US, a "groomsman" is a male friend or family member who stands at the front of the church with the groom at a wedding. They may also act as ushers before the service, and they usually escort the bridesmaids (the bride's friends or family) - Winkfish, Feb 11, 2016

to stand with the bride at the front. In the US, there are usually the same number of groomsmen as bridesmaids. I'd guess "attendant" might be a good alternative English word. - Winkfish, Feb 11, 2016

Thank you for the explanation,, Wink :) That is the big problem wth these expressions: they can mean different things in different countries and sometmes questioners assume a common knowledge or understanding and so don't eplain what they mean ! - - FELIZ77, Feb 12, 2016
