Etymology

edit

From English fort. Originally, this word meant "fort" and specifically referred to Fort Zeelandia, but since Fort Zeelandia and Parimaribo are closely connected, the meaning was transferred to the later.[1] Nowadays, it can refer to any town.

Pronunciation

edit

Noun

edit

foto

  1. city, town
    • 2022, “Moi les di yu kan leri fu Bijbel”, in Yehovah Kotoigi [Jehovah's Witnesses][3], Les 52: Wan bigi legre di de leki faya:
      Di a kon sabi taki Elisa ben de na ini a foto Dotan, a seni a legre fu Siria fu go teki en.
      He found out that Elisha was in the city of Dothan, and he sent the Syrian army there to capture him.
  2. (informal) Paramaribo
    Synonyms: Paramaribo, Par'bo

Usage notes

edit
  • Sense 2: within Paramaribo, "foto" refers specifically to downtown. However, outside of Paramaribo, it can denote any location in town.[2]
