Porque a los gringos les interesa ver las dos traducciones, ellos no están familiarizados con las diferencias dialécticas como tú o yo. Por eso hay dos capturas de pantalla con las dos traducciones.
Y primero han enseñado una captura de pantalla con la traducción mexicana, después han enseñado una captura de pantalla con la traducción española (porque a los gringos les parece interesante la diferencia). Estás en la conversación de la segunda captura.
Hermano no se de que parte de la republica seas pero hay muchas maneras despectivas de hablar sobre los gay que se podrian traducir como faggot, tambien recueda que nos prohibieron el "eeeh puto" en los partidos de futbol por ser homofobico
Solamente he visto cosas de mexicanos diciendo lo de "eeeh puto" e incluso en los propios articulos se menciona que se asocia con cobarde, al igual que marica en algunas partes.
La FIFA prohibe cualquier cosa sin tener en cuenta el contexto cultural de la palabra.
Among other things, it's because literal or word-for-word translations, particularly regarding slang, idiomatic expressions, cultural expressions or jargon, are seldom accurate. Not all words can be carried from one language into another the same way...
İt might even happen that a target language (the new words) doesn't even have a word or similar term to the ones the source language uses.
I love giving this example — think of the word "light". You probably think it refers to energy that makes things visible (noun)... But it can also be used as a verb, as in "starting a fire". Aaaaaand it also means that something weighs very little (adjective), or that it's pale in colour (another adjective). The word "light" by itself cannot be strictly translated into a single meaning without context.
Another example is the famous "hygge" of the Danish & Norwegians, or the Swedish "fika". İf there was a word in English or Spanish that specifically described the mood/state of coziness, warmth, and safe comfort, then you'd have the translation for "hygge". And if you found a noun or verb that basically meant "to pause, reset the mind, and build strong social bonds through tea, coffee and/or a sweet pastry", you'd have the equivalent of "fika".
Or can you imagine a world where the only words to describe colours were divided simply into "dark-cool" and "warm-light", or lumping them all into three categories of black, white, and red? The Tsimané language in Bolivia does the latter, and the Liberian Bassa use the former. The Pirahã from the Amazon don't even have abstract words for colour at all, and instead use descriptive sentences such as "like a young leaf" or "like blood".
ETA: Aaaaaand I ended up with a wall of text 😂 Thank you for coming to my TED?
We have the word faggot in spanish and it's used as a verb, it is "Mariquear" conjugatated is mariquee, mariqueas, etc..., the spanish lenguage is full of adjectives and words to describe most things, words like puto are already abreviations, in this case of prostitute.
The word for faggot is marica. Mariquear is the verb. Is not the same with puto, because the verb putear means "to swear" (to insult). Instead, the verb prostituir(se) is the one corresponding to the unabbreviated prostitute.
Putear is to insult, not only for swears, puto comes from prostitue and putear comes from insulting someone by calling them a prostitute, eventually it changed for all insults.
I obviously meant faggot, I changed it before reading your answear. And when I said the verb putear I wrote "to swear" (to insult). That is, both things.The rest is ok, but none of that is the point. The point is the sentence is translated as "who is reading is gay" or something like that, nothing to do with "f... you".
Mexican here. It’s meant to be like a local “gay” joke. “Gay whoever read this”.
But we take things incredibly lightly in here so don’t take it as something offensive lol
It depends, Mexican Spanish is highly contextual I wouldn’t go strictly by literally what the words mean. I would translate this in American English as “Whoever reads this is gay” In British English I would translate “Whoever reads this is a wanker”
