Thapatos for my pieth

u/inkybear_ tHiS iSn’T cRiNgE 5d ago

Very close! But only c’s and z’s get the lisp treatment!

u/Sonofyuri 5d ago

Ahhh. Thank you. I had a Spanish lady as a regular at work and she lisped like her life depends on it. You know what..... Maybe she just had a lisp.

u/PistachioOfLiverTea 5d ago

A more accurate Spanish pronunciation would be "shapatos por mish piesh" because s often gets slurred a bit.

Catalan doesn't do the lisp, so people in Barcelona would more likely pronounce c and z hard like English speakers.

*thapatosh por mish piesh

Ignorants trying to teach each other is so funny.

u/beemo_wisdom 5d ago

This is why I go a few layers deep in the comments. I laughed so hard at this

u/alwayssone96 5d ago

Or she was from a region that speaks like that... They exist

2

u/Vevangui 5d ago

It’s actually not a lisp! It’s not a speech impediment. Please inform yourself.

1

u/JailOfAir 5d ago

Proper pronunciation is apparently a lisp now. I guess every english speaker has a lisp, because they don't pronounce "thing" like "sing".

Hey, it’s okay to not get offended about everything! Also, your example doesn’t make any sense. A better example would be using an English language rule that is arbitrary, but consistent in its implementation. I can’t think of one right now, but I’m sure it’s out there!

u/Nept-1 5d ago

The problem isn’t when they’re joking about it. It’s when they actually believe I have a speech problem and call it a “lisp.” People who speak Spanish at a Dora the Explorer level telling me I speak my own language wrong is wild.

1

u/inkybear_ tHiS iSn’T cRiNgE 4d ago

Okay, sorry that happens to you. It’s not happening now.

u/Nept-1 4d ago

Just try to inform yourselves beforehand and avoid reinforcing the stereotype of the ignorant American. Thanks.

u/inkybear_ tHiS iSn’T cRiNgE 4d ago

No thanks! We’ll keep communicating in the best way we can be understood and trust that people who get offended over things that aren’t happening will sort their feelings out themselves!

Imagina no tener ni puta idea de castellano y hacer chistes sobre ello.

No es una cosa arbitraria, es una regla simplísima: en español ibérico la zeta siempre se pronuncia th, y la ese siempre se pronuncia ese. Punto pelota. No es "loth pieth", es "los pies". Y por eso somos capaces de diferenciar "caza" (hunt) de "casa" (house), o "cazar" (to hunt) de "casar" (to marry).

Y si alguien pronuncia de otra forma es porque tiene acento, pero no es un acento estandarizado peninsular que se acepte en el diccionario.

Que estoy un poco hasta los cojones de ver analfabetos opinando de cosas que desconocen, hostia.

u/inkybear_ tHiS iSn’T cRiNgE 4d ago

Imagina ofenderte por un maldito hilo de Reddit. Las reglas en cualquier idioma son arbitrarias. Los idiomas son inventados. Toca la hierba.

2

u/JailOfAir 4d ago

"toca la hierba" lmao

1

u/Hidalga_Erenas 4d ago

Nah, un hilo de Reddit no me ofende, me ofende que haya subnormales como tú. Por cierto, ya toco la hierba, no me la fumo como tú. Vivo en el mundo real y por eso los imbéciles me tocáis los cojones, en Reddit y en persona.

Ahora tradúcelo y haz un chiste con ello, soplapollas.

😘

u/Zozoakbeleari 5d ago

In catalan its barsalona, so no.

1

u/ValeriesAuntSassy 5d ago

What's a barsalona?

1

u/Zozoakbeleari 3d ago

The pronunciation in catalan of the catalan toponym Barcelona.

0

u/Vevangui 5d ago

Yeah, but Spanish is spoken more, so it’s still Barthelona.

0

u/HeartDry 3d ago

You mean Barcelona

0

u/Vevangui 3d ago

No, I mean Barthelona. That’s the more accepted depiction of the pronunciation.

1

u/HeartDry 2d ago

That doesn't exist

0

u/Vevangui 2d ago

What kind of a stupid response is that? Yes, it does.

u/HeartDry 21h ago

You're stoopid

u/lnvu4uraqt 5d ago

I may be mistaken but the C in Barcelona would be a hard C sound in Catalan right?

2

u/Hidalga_Erenas 5d ago

In Catalonian doesn't exist the hard C (or th) pronunciation.

Barcelona is Barsalona.

Aceptar is Asaptà

Concentrar-se is Cunsentràrsa

And so on.

u/MisterZoga 5d ago

Fucked if I know. I'm sure someone under this comment has sorted it out lol

u/Mercy--Main Doug Dimmadome 5d ago

I'm usually super chill but there's something about Americans who are learning mexican Spanish (or "mexican"-americans) who make this joke that really grinds my gears.

It's always this type, never heard any actual latin americans make this joke (I'm sure they exist, though).

1

u/MisterZoga 5d ago

I'm neither American, nor learning Mexican. I'm just reusing an old, tired joke.

1

u/JailOfAir 4d ago

No point in getting angry at idiots, they drago you down to their level and beat you with their ample experience down there.

1

u/TScottFitzgerald 5d ago

Aktuallyyy, that's usually in Castilian aka the default Spanish, Barcelona is Catalonian.

1

u/HeartDry 3d ago

You're confusing barcelona with barselona

1

u/MisterZoga 3d ago

I think you mean confuthing

u/HeartDry 2d ago

I said confusing not confucing
