I was reading some Spanish grammar stuff, and it mentioned the word "cuyo" as basically meaning "whose". I've literally never heard of this word before, and I've studied Spanish since middle school and even spoken it with people conversationally, so I'm very confused.

It seems like this would be a really common word, but I swear I've never encountered it before. Is it regional, or rarely used, or have I just managed to overlook it for years?

    Interesting. Also, you've given me the idea to try reading cien años in It's original spanish, could be a fun undertaking.

      It is! It's honestly such beautiful prose. And reading with a dictionary (or smartphone) by your side is a great way to pick up new vocab!

      I intend to read it again before the Netflix miniseries comes out, I'm cautiously optimistic for that adaptation.
