i guess the most familiar analogies are websites/domains or email address? neither is a perfect explanation, obvs 

 A diferença que eles não precisam decorar, apenas ter uma forma prática de usá-las e segura de guarda-la. 

 Yeah this one might be confusing. I thought something like maybe “profile” or “profile page” have no idea 

 Maybe something like “a cryptographic address to find people or services”. It’s a common way to address/identify people or services in the nostr way. 

 Haha that’s more over complicated for none technical people than public key. 
Someone just mentioned “user ID” seems like that might be it 

 Maybe depends a bit on the specifics of who you’re describing NPUBs too and how deep their understanding already goes on this kinda stuff 

 For example here is the reason why I brought it up. 

nostr:note17mt43kckffjafervd0rupf87rgjks2vq5xs00a858z35d9e97mkqq6n999 

 I tried out some additional language to see if it helps at all:

nostr:note17grgk5xmcs9v9ygwmxknuyhj7xr6kngu8cls9e50hr06uamaefhsy5ymjc 

 perhaps they aren't meant to understand. 

 They should 

 npub is user id surely? 

 Yes 

 yeah, y'all need to ditch the techie talk and translate this to English. from English, all other languages can be translated to. 

otherwise this will all be techie gobbledy gook and nobody will use Nostr. 

 There is autotrsnlate feature that lets you read it on english.
