Antonyms
luto
A general term for a celebration, party, or festival. It can refer to any social gathering for enjoyment, but it is often used specifically to denote a public holiday, religious festival, or traditional cultural celebration, particularly in Spanish-speaking countries, carrying a nuance that a simple translation like 'party' or 'celebration' might not fully capture.
