That’s Mexican, not Spanish

Do Mexicans speak Mexican? Or Spanish?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Most Mexicans don't speak their native language. Spanish is the language of the people who colonized them and that they altered forced to adopt. It's more accurate to say they speak Spanish imo. Otherwise, that's like saying Cherokee Native Americans, when speaking English, are speaking "Cherokee" just because they may have some slang that other English speakers don't have. And no, they aren't speaking "Cherokee," that language was forcibly removed from their culture just like many native languages were removed by the Spanish and to a lesser extent, the Portuguese.

Eh Spanish but not Castellano. In truth you could probably be more granular to describe the various country variants and dialects, but I'm not sure they have words for those divisions, not to the degree of considering them to be other languages.

It's been decades since it took Spanish class, but it's been a lot fewer years since I worked with anyone who spoke Spanish. And if you work with people that speak Spanish and don't pick up the swears, then you don't actually work with people that speak Spanish.

excellante

I have my doubts about how well the writer of this sign speaks Spanish. "Naranja" is a fruit; the color orange is "anaranjado".

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago

Naranja is also used for the color orange in a lot of latin countries.

More likely Spanglish

also no accent over más

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

Capital Letters don't usually have accents, no?

The average maga can't even pronounce quesadilla this sign will unfortunately accomplish nothing.

Bennys nachos! Poor favor... do y'all have more of them jall-a-penos for my kayso-dilla? Grassy-ass.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Case o' dilla?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Case of dildos!

Sorry, all sold out since that convention in Milwaukee.

Maybe it is to get non Maga people to actually vote. You know, so the Naranja doesn't win from gerrymandring

Note as a non-Spanish speaker I don't understand the first word

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's translated as "fuck your maga"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ahhhh thanks for that! "chinga tu maga" then right?

I don't speak much Spanish so I was struggling to figure out what that first word was assuming it was all one word lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

You might encounter "chinga tu madre" used as an insult from time to time. I assume the sign creator here is well aware of that expression.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Believe it or not, some Latinos are going to vote for him. This sign is far from pointless

Uncle Toma always knows best.
