La Palabra curiosa
“trasgo”
Do you know what trasgo means?
In the folklore of northern Spain, a trasgo is a mischievous household spirit that hides things, makes strange noises and plays tricks on the people who live there.
There isn’t an exact equivalent in English: think somewhere between a goblin and a poltergeist. Spooky! 👻
Anoche un trasgo escondió las llaves y no nos dejó dormir.
Last night, a mischievous spirit hid the keys and kept us awake.
