Me gustan los memes españoles.

Also just so you guys know meme is pronounced may-may in spanish. Makes me laugh every time I hear one of my friends say it in spanish.

I've never thought about that, but that's hilarious.

Why do y'all anglophones enjoy making language more complicated than it needs to be? Does it bring you joy to provoke suffering to the world?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Nah, it just distracts from the self-loathing.

Nooooooooo!

It's okay... I can take it... How do they pronounce gif?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

They pronounce it like: "gif"

I heard a dude pronounce meme 'mee mee' once like 10 years ago, and that created a core memory for me for some reason.

Hey something is wrong with my Lemmy. Seems to be stuck in Spanish or something. How do change it back?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Li siento. No hablo Inglés.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

One of my favorite stories to tell related to this was when I went to a stadium to do some work and needed a bathroom.

I noticed some people cleaning that looked Spanish, but I don't like to assume people don't know English so I started with "Do you happen to know where the bathroom is?" So they replied "lo siento, no hablo Ingles." Having taken Spanish in highschool I remember like 8 words and switched "donde estas el bano?" And they replied "no Ingles, no Ingles."

...but... I'm speaking your language now... Lol

Spectat sicut Anglis. Possum legere sine ullo negotio.

Thx Spanish classes

I like that my native language is so present in the Fediverse 🥲

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Same here. I've been trying to immerse myself in Spanish. My grandparents were from there and they were always disappointed that none of their grandchildren became fluent.

Now I go back once per year as a sort of pilgrimage. Hopefully I'll be able to hold conversations soon.

It's difficult, but I never want to be that American who refuses to make even a token effort to learn the basics of the language when they're travelling abroad.

thanks to knowing portuguese i can understand this spanish meme

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks to watching La Casa de Papel with original sound and English subtitles, I can understand this meme.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I feel so cultured.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I understood because I’m portuguese. Idk about the rest

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

It ain't much, but its honest work

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Si, entiendo!
