Capitalization Rules
Use lowercase 'nobel' when referring to the person who won ('un nobel'), but use uppercase 'Nobel' when referring to the official name of the award ('Premio Nobel').
Plural Forms
When talking about the people who won, you can say 'los nobeles'. However, when referring to the prizes themselves, say 'los premios Nobel' (the word Nobel doesn't change).
The 'B' vs 'V' Trap
Mistake: “Using 'novel' to mean the prize winner.”
Correction: Use 'nobel' (with a B) for the prize. 'Novel' (with a V) means a beginner or someone new to a profession. They sound exactly the same in Spanish!
