arroba f (medida) Spanish unit of weight and of liquid measure, varying according to region
* * *arroba nf1. [unidad de peso] = 11.5 kg;Figpor arrobas by the sackful2. [unidad de volumen] [para vino] = approx 16 litres;[para aceite] = approx 12 litres“juan, arroba mundonet, punto, es” “juan, at mundonet, dot, es”ARROBA “\@”In standard Spanish grammar, where nouns, adjectives and pronouns have masculine and feminine forms, the masculine plural form is used when referring to a group which includes men and women (cf. the now old-fashioned use of “mankind” to mean “all humanity” in English). Although this is an inheritance from Latin, it has been criticized by many who say it “makes women invisible”. However, unless one explicitly uses both forms in full (“ellos y ellas” or “alumnos y alumnas” etc), the rules of grammar dictate the choice. In recent years, however, an informal alternative has emerged using the “\@” symbol, and this has become especially popular on the Internet. Thus “hola a tod\@s” (hello everyone) can stand for “todos” and “todas”. This usage has been criticised and has yet to migrate into formal written contexts, and there is no spoken equivalent (other than the wordy “hola a todos y todas”), but it is a sign that even in a gender-inflected language like Spanish there are moves to get round gender stereotyping.* * *f INFOR at sign, \@;josé arroba … josé at …* * *arroba nf: arroba (Spanish unit of measurement) -
