Spanish Words That Don't Exist In English - Joanna Rants

Why is there only one word in English for love? What is Spanish for Awkward? Joanna is here to break down some Spanish and English words that are difficult to translate and what it means about the culture they belong in. Also, there's some talk about abuelas using kitten slippers so there's that...

Lampiño--A man incapable of growing much body hair. Quincena--A period of time of fifteen days. Tocayo--Someone who has the same name as you. Soler--A verb meaning to do something as a habit. Entrecejo--The space between your eyebrows. Estadounidense--A "United Statesian;" someone or something from the U.S. ("Americano/a" is seldom used because we are taught that North and South America are one. So, to us, the entire continent is called "América", and its inhabitants are "americano/a," much like there is Asia and they're called Asians, and there are the Chinese, Japanese, etc. within the general continent of Asia.) Anteayer--The day before yesterday. Estrenar--Means to literally "premiere," but it is most often used to express when you wear something for the first time. Manco--A one-armed man. Tuerto--A one-eyed man. Pardo--The color between gray and brown. Resol--The Sun's reflection off of any surface. Madrugar--To get up early; to be an early-bird.

[@insurgente07]

in English there is no word for "temblor" they always use the word earthquake even when there is not an earthquake... for Spanish speakers "temblor" is just a slight shaking of the earth without any material damage and "terremoto" is use when there is a violent shaking of the earth that cause damage in the infrastructure of certain area.

[@UncloudedHope06]

+insurgente07 isn't it tremor?

[@CarlosRuiz-po8zk]

+Alex A-che indeed it is

[@SanCacho]

+Alex A-che Tremor is the same as Temblor, and is the same as Terremoto (in one of their meanings). BUT (there's always a "but") each word has additional meanings, wich makes spanish a quite complex language. Tremor can be a slight shake (you can even feel a "tremor" when your loved or feared one comes into a room). Temblor can be any kind of shaking, usually harder than before, and you can feel it when you're in cold weather (or in panic, or deeply inloved, for example). And terremoto... well, only poetry can give other meanings to that (comes from "Terra", latin for Earth, and "motus", movement). Literally, it means "earth movement", no matter how strong it could be.

[@insurgente07]

+Alex A-che That should be the word, but you never hear the word Tremor in the news, there is always earthquake even when it is magnitude 2 or below. if you hear the word "terremoro" in the Spanish news you know that something really bad just happened while if you hear the word "earthquake" in the English news, well I least me, you don't know exactly what just happened.

[@patricksachs3655]

+insurgente07 Again, the difference is expressed through context, or qualification- the earthquake measured 3,3 on the Richter Scale, there was a small earthquake, respectively.

[@Gazulolima]

A word that I discovered recently that the English language does not have is "pescado". Pescado means a fish thats been fished. A dead fish that been fished to be eaten. A fish in an acuarium is not a "pescado", for example. That's it. Nice video.

[@mary__simone]

I think it depends on the country. I'm Puerto Rican, and I was raised to know both meant "I love you"; however, "te quiero" is used in my home as a sweet & gentle "i care about you", and "te amo" as a more passionate "I'm committed to you and will always be here for you!" And both phrases can be said to anyone you have a loving bond with---family, friend, or significant other.

[@mirandawatson99]

what she means is that there are no words in spanish that can really give the exact meaning as those words do. Awkward IS practically the same as uncomfortable, but not quite. If I say I'm awkward it's not the same as saying I'm uncomfortable... which is what a spanish person would understand if you said incomodo.

[@EnyaFarina]

mirandawatson99 The thing is, spanish is a very specific language; a little bit like german. There are words in spanish that can express the various meanings of akward. It could be: torpe/desmañado/embarazozo/incómodo, etc, etc, etc. It depends on the meaning behind it; because english in that way is much, much simpler. But there ARE translations to the words they are saying. A lot, actually. But, for example, there is no translation for "microwavable" (again, because english is all about making it short and simple). I have worked as a translator before!

@@that_quiet_kid Muy interesante que traigas este tema, justamente, es MUY distinto el amor que sentís por ejemplo a tu pareja, que a tus padres, o por ejemplo hijos (si tenés). Lo interesante es que los griegos tenían 3 palabras distintas para el amor: Philia, Eros y Ágape. Philia es el amor a largo plazo se podría decir, amor que sentís por tus amigos, de ahí vienen las palabras como afiliados. Eros es del enamoramiento (totalmente diferente al anterior). Y Ágape es dar, por más que salgas perdiendo, para que el otro esté mejor, o sea feliz, por ejemplo una madre que hace lo posible para que su hijo cumpla su objetivo de irse del país, por más que eso implique que no lo vaya a ver más; en realidad no termina sufriendo, porque lo está haciendo para que su hijo sea feliz, y eso es lo que la hace feliz.

Accountability no es responsabilidad, es algo por lo que se puede rendir cuentas. Awkard es una mezcla entre raro e incómodo, pero no exactamente lo mismo que cada una por separado. Trade-off tampoco es exactamente intercambio, significa tener que se tiene que perder algo para ganar otra cosa.

[@mariosblago94]

but... we do have Spanish words for those things you mentioned, they are just rarely used... Reliability- confianza, confiabilidad Awkward- embarazoso Tradeoff - intercambio. Accountability - responsabilidad (we also have "contabilidad" but it's used for something else) Roman languages have more words in general than Germanic languages because Latin literally has at least one unique word for everything. In English you just combine simple words to make new concepts: reliable: re [repeat] + lay + able [possible] butterfly: butter + fly etc... with few exceptions like "toes" Your point still stands, though. Words like reliability, accountability and responsibility have higher frequency in English than in Spanish even if we do have words for those concepts. BTW, there's also another word for love in English, agape, but since it comes from Greek we also have it in Spanish.

[@mariosblago94]

***** feedback is just a lazy way to say reaction, reply or response. You can just translate those.

[@galynnzitnik4600]

One thousand years ago, old English had three verbs that meant “to be”. These verbs were: béon, sindon and wesan. The slightly different meanings of the verbs were similar to the different uses of estar and ser in Spanish. Over the years the three verbs coalesced into one verb. For example I am comes from sindon, be quiet! comes from béon, and I was comes from wesan.

+Emilia Martinez I guess that depends on the context. Couple of examples: Situation n°1: -Sir 1: "I pick my nose and touch my brain" -Sir 2: "You're awkward" Sir2 is telling to Sir 1 that he is a really weird person, this can be interpreted like "raro", since Sir 1 knows that Picking your nose and scratching your cell brains is not normal. Situation n°2: -Sir 1: "Everytime i'm near you i feel wet..." -Sir 2: "...and I'm feel awkward now" :/ What this means is that Sir 1 is making thing uneasy for Sir 2. Which, in this case, awkward can be interpreted like "Incomodo", since is not describing a person but the feeling. To recap: Feeling 'Awkward' = Incomodo; 'Awkward' as adjective = Raro

believe me folks, it gets really interesting when speaking german, english and spanish. german is definetly the fucking master of intranslatable words. "Schadenfreude" - the joy you feel when something bad happens to a person you don't like "Weltschmerz" (lit. world pain) - a Melancholy that you feel when thinking about all the bad things happening in the world , "Kummerspeck" (lit. sadness bacon) weight you gain when you're sad or heartbroken and eat a ton of junk food , and many more. what really confused me in spanish, was that there is no verb really for "stand". there's levantarse for "stand up" and estar de pie for "being on your feet" , but nothing exactly to describe it :D apparently in spanish, everytone seems to move all the time :D the "dedos" thing also seemed weird to me at first^^

[@maryangelica5319]

+DiscordiasReturn I'm not a German speaker, but from what I understand about the structure of the language, it tends to connect words together into one "ultra-compound" word easily when when one want to put several ideas together, whereas Spanish and English will put the words together in an idiomatic phrase. It's largely a structural thing about languages. In Spanish, I use the term "pararse" for to stand. It's pretty common. "parar" can mean "to stop", bu it can also mean to set something up, and the reflexive makes yourself the thing that is set up.

[@discordiasreturn1222]

[@RavenCelestia]

+DiscordiasReturn Hey on what you said about stand, i think there is really a word for a literal translation, we always say pararse, yo estoy parado, parate de la silla, parense, estar parado, also means to stop and is a synonym of detenerse, but in the uses i mentioned i think it is a very literal translation and conveys the meaning of standing, standing up, pretty well.

One word that doesn't exist in English is "merienda", which makes clear we eat A LOT. I don't know how Americans can survive eating only two big meals plus a sandwich at 12.

[@FrozenNicolas]

Also, I didn't know in Latin America you say "friolento". In Spain is "friolero".

[@adorable1799]

We do have snacks between lunch and dinner.

[@Indigoqueer]

Merienda is just the word we use in the U.S for a snack at any time of the day. Though some old folks in the state I am from use that word to mean picnic....

[@JDweeeeee]

there are the words lunch or breaks

[@FrozenNicolas]

In Spain it has a different meaning. It's a meal at mid-aternoon, and we usually eat a sandwich, cookies or cereal, always with milk. The meal in the night would be "cena".

[@raichu1866]

We actually say "Te amo" to our parents. It doesn't mean "I'm in love with you".

[@AnnRav44]

fingers of the feet? hahahaha wtf?!

[@What__japens]

Iris Flash hahaha and I didn't know you have an exact word for them 😂 lol (I'm a Spanish speaker)

[@Stefy421]

it sounds stupid when you say it in english hahahaha

[@baykkus]

Why not? Get away from your english speaking mind for a second and think logically, why would you need two sets of names for two things that are essentially the same?

[@spaghettigal]

Julio Ruiz yeah, I mean, why call it rain when you can just say "water of the sky." No way is better than the other; they're just different.

Los dedos de las manos y los dedos de los pies, la polla y lo cojones todo suma veintitrés. ...That's poetry.

[@luishenrique-rr1gk]

here in Brazil Sobremesa means dessert! also we have the word Saudade, it's used when you miss someone very very VERY much. like maybe you have a grandma that died and you say "que saudade da minha avó" or someone's gone to another country and you say "que saudade de ____". it's pretty handy dandy

[@fernandorodrig]

Accountability - "Responsabilidad" if you are accountable for something, "Contabilidad" Reliability - "Fiabilidad" Awkward - "Incómodo"

[@mep6302]

You're wrong. Responsabilidad = Responsability

[@CesarJoel94]

Juan Fernando Rodríguez Alvarado don’t try to act like a smartasss when it’s very clear you are wrong Lmao

[@christophermartinez9304]

1:02 made me think she was talking to me my name is Christopher 😂😂

[@kaylactic]

Meh, I say "Te amo" to my parents and it's okay.

[@lynxddragon]

When you're parents ask you what that one word means and it has no translation.

[@gokutilapa]

Accountability-Acontabilidad, trade-off= compensasion, Awkard- Embarazoso. Reliability-confiabilidad.... Toes- well wtf... Hahaha

[@gokutilapa]

for me those are words that actually do translate.

[@LiaLetLoveRule]

Acontabilidad is not actually a word... That sounds like Spanglish. Same with confiabilidad...

[@marcan42]

+LiaLetLoveRule "Acontabilidad" is not a word, but "responsabilidad" - responsibility - is, and it means pretty much the same thing as accountability. "Confiabilidad" is a word, though, but so is "fiabilidad", which is what I'd translate "reliability" as. I'd never heard "confiabilidad" (though it's in the dictionary), but "fiabilidad" is a common word. "Trade-off" is problematic though. You could translate it as "compromiso" (compromise) or "compensación" (compensation) or "concesión mutua" (mutual concession) depending on what you're trying to say. There's no single good word for that in Spanish.

[@DavidVaquero]

+LiaLetLoveRule Fiscalizar, sería lo más cercano :)

[@topette]

+Goku Dragon Accountability tengo entendido que es: Rendición de cuentas

[@Indigoqueer]

As an American Spanish speaker, it frustrates me so much that there is not a succinct way to say "to lock" in Spanish. "Cerrar" (to close) is not specific enough and "cerrar con llave" is cumbersome and annoying. I will admit it, I just use the Spanglish "loquear" most times unless I am trying to sound fancy or some shit.

[@Eduiiko]

candar vale para puertas etc (poner el candado si lo prefieres) o también bloquear

[@oscarardila1969]

+John Rovell Yeah, actually, I was thinking how to say that. Maybe you could try "asegurar" but there's a problem because it can be understood as To be sure, and that doesn't synthesize the accurate meaning but that's the closest word I can think of.

[@Eduiiko]

Stockton Prod candar, is a verb that comes from candado, and means that

[@satyre81]

+John Rovell I always heard "poner el pestillo" or "con pestillo". I'm part Cuban.

[@Indigoqueer]

+Eduardo Pereda No puedo encontrar esa palabra "candar" en mi diccionario. ¿Es algo régional? He escuchado "poner el candado" pero en una manera eufemistica.....

[@Enyeii]

I'm Venezuelan so I can't really tell, but I think "Te Quiero" can be use like "Te amo" in Spain. When I see english to spanish translations, the "Te Quiero" is the word they use for "I Love You" even if in a sentimental way lol

[@natutw71]

Supongo que ante la duda, ponen "Te quiero", para que no se malinterprete si era en sentido de amistad o cariño

[@wangfluenza]

In Spain "te amo" can't be used in the place for "te quiero". It holds a deeper meaning and feeling towards the person, however as it is very rare and weird to say "te amo" people usually use "te quiero".

[@david86804]

Its normal to say "Te Amo" to a family member or close friends, its like saying "I love you" and theres nothing wrong with that :p
