sonría

sonría is a Spanish word that translates to "smile" in English. It is the imperative form of the verb sonreír, meaning "to smile." Specifically, it is the formal singular imperative (usted) or the informal plural imperative (vosotros). Therefore, "sonría" is a command or an instruction to smile directed at one person formally or a group of people informally. The verb sonreír originates from the Latin word subrīdēre, which also means "to smile." The act of smiling is a universal human expression often associated with happiness, amusement, or politeness. In Spanish-speaking cultures, as elsewhere, a smile can convey a range of emotions and social cues. The word "sonría" itself carries a gentle and positive connotation, encouraging a facial expression that generally elicits positive responses.
