Lost in translation


Okay now that my first week in Spain has passed I am ready to post my list of words to look up. I would write a word down in Spanish (or English) and find the definition next time I had wifi. So go ahead and enjoy my troubles. This may be telling:

 

Confused-confundido

Manta-blanket

Maricon-fag

Loud-fuerte

Noise-ruido

Heels-tacones

Diablo-devil

Matar-to kill

Bruto/asco-gross

Pesa-heavy

Guay o guau-cool

Estas seguro-are you sure?

 

Anyways there's the bulk of them but add in all the misunderstandings. Like Americans pronounce wifi as why-fie and Spaniards pronounce it whiff-iee. That one took a while to catch on...as do many others.
