dbo:abstract
  • Los Dulces 16​​ (en inglés, sweet sixteen) es una fiesta de aproximación de edad para celebrar el cumpleaños número 16 de un adolescente en Norteamérica, principalmente en los Estados Unidos y Canadá.​ Un sweet sixteen es similar a la quinceañera hispanoamericana. Como una boda, este evento puede ser formal, casual o semi formal. Los Dulces 16 pueden variar desde modestas fiestas en casa con familiares cercanos a grandes eventos con un DJ contratado, maquillaje, peinado, vestidos costosos y salones de hotel. Aunque sea una pequeña fiesta, el objetivo principal es celebrar que la persona llega a ser "mayor" y entra en una etapa diferente de su vida. Por lo general se trata de la última gran fiesta de cumpleaños que tendría un adolescente.​ Aunque es común que los Sweet Sixteens se celebren sobre todo para las niñas, también se puede celebrar para los niños.​ (es)
  • A sweet sixteen is a coming of age party celebrating a person's 16th birthday, mainly celebrated in some parts of the United States and Canada. While some families throw large, lavish celebrations, others choose to celebrate the birthday as if it were a normal occurrence. This event can be formal, casual, or semi-formal. While traditionally it is common that sweet sixteens are mostly celebrated by girls, they can also be celebrated by boys. Sweet sixteens can range from modest parties at home with close family to large parties with a hired DJ, makeup, hair styling, expensive gowns and dresses, and hotel ballrooms. Even if it is a small party, the main purpose of the party is to celebrate the person's earliest stage of adulthood. Alternative sweet sixteen celebrations in the United States can include a religious or church ceremony also, like a Mass or a blessing at church. This religious or church ceremony has its origins in the Quinceañera style, but since there are many American-born Hispanic people, many choose to blend a sweet sixteen American style with their Quinceañera tradition. For example, the girl may go to the church for the religious ceremony and, then, while in the party, choose to have the sixteen-candle ceremony. The religious ceremony comes from the Hispanic tradition, while the sixteen candles ceremony comes from the American tradition. (en)
