ess del AH-nyoh meel kee-NYEN-tohs noh-VEN-tah ee SEEN-koh
[ess del AH-nyoh meel kee-NYEN-tohs noh-VEN-tah ee SEEN-koh]
💬 Usage Tip: Spanish says years as one whole number: mil quinientos noventa y cinco, literally "one thousand five hundred ninety-five". It never splits them into pairs like English "fifteen ninety-five".
🇪🇸 In Spain: Many Seville brotherhoods go back to the 1500s and 1600s. Founding dates are a real point of pride, so asking about them is a good way to start a conversation.
