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?

Nah, it just distracts from the self-loathing.

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 8 months ago (1 children)

Li siento. No hablo Inglés.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago
