novio
boyfriend; groom
Pronunciation
/ˈnobjo/
Cultural Note
Novio means both 'boyfriend' and 'groom' depending on context. In many Latin American countries, calling someone your novio/novia implies a more formal, committed relationship than just dating. The transition from 'salir' (going out) to being novios is a meaningful relationship milestone.
