Greater Buenos Aires Explanation: The *gran* indicates that it is the whole urban area, not just the political entity. In English, we use the comparative form of great to convey that meaning. (cf: greater Boston; greater London, etc.) |

API: "Great Buenos Aires" is OK... Explanation: ... "province of BA" includes other areas outside the Gran Buenos Aires, so it would not be correct. If you're translating for the US, you can also say "Buenos Aires suburbs", which would be readily understood here. Suerte Elena |
