    "TIQUISMIQUIS" IN ENGLISH?

    This is a word that I only recently came across (phrasal verb = encontrar por casualidad). To be honest I have never heard anybody Spanish use this word but a follower of my posts sent me a message to ask me what the proper translation would be.

    The first word that comes to my mind when I think of "tiquismiquis" is "picky". So, for example: "He is a bit picky about his food" or "She is very picky about the type of decoration in her house".

    ​​I hope that helps! If you are interested in AVOIDING more Spanglish mistakes then you can check out my 5-star rated book "365 consejos para mejorar tu inglés" on Amazon! ​

    It's a pity you have never Heard that Word. It shows that even language, in the last few years, has become more violent. Probably most of the times you can use "tiquismiquis" in Spanish is replaced nowadays by something stronger, as "gilipollas" or something like that.
    I don't know, perhaps I am too "tiquismiquis".
    Thanks for your blog!

    It means fussy in Spain. Also “quisquilloso” would be equivalent. It depends on the context, but we do use it quite a lot.
