"It's pronounced 'Mah-kwis', peasant. And it is not my name, but title bestowed upon my line by the Queen, and you WILL address me as the 'The Most Honourable The Marquez of I'll-Feed-You-Your-Own-Balls if you know that is good for you!" Wait no. No, that'll really get the M'lady motors revving.

Isn't white guys suddenly getting an Hispanic accent whenever they come across a Spanish word in the presences of a Latino a running joke? "Hey Joe, I'm heading down to May Hick Oh for fireworks. Maybe drink some tay qweeeel ah. You want anything?"

I live in Texas and I see more people pronouncing names wrong seemingly on purpose, because they wouldn't be caught dead knowing the right pronunciation More often with names other than Spanish, though

I try not to be cynical, but when someone tells me they're doing a lunch run to "THA-co Bell and ask if I want them to bring me a kEH-sah-deeejah and a Baghhha Blast," after they just asked the dude next to me if he wants a gordita or enchirito it seems like they either think I won't understand the English pronunciations or that I might take offense and ride around the place on a horse firing pistolas into the air. The inverse of this, which I find equally irritating is when my like 4th generation Hispanic friends who I know can pronounce words without an accent will suddenly throw Spanish inflections into regular English conversation to bump up their Latino cred.. Do you need to use the Spanish pronunciation of Los Angeles when you talk about the Dodgers game you just watched? Does my white blonde friend Angelica need to have the g-turned into h/j sound when you talk about her? Mr. 47 posted:Wow. And to think, the best pick-up line I could think of is, "Hey, how's it going. Are you into [whatever] books, too?" I seriously need to get gud at grrls. If their book is something you're genuinely interested in and can talk about, then that's probably you're best option. My brother went out with the same girl from middle school until the beginning of college, so he had no experience meeting random girls and talking them up. A few years later he and I were at Half Price Books and this kind of pixie looking granola chick was smiling at him and I told him he she was waiting for him to to go say hi. He walks up and says something like "Hey, whats up? So do you like [glances at the books in her hand] uh.....Wicca.....?" and I could see his face drop into wtf mode, but she said not really, but the books just looked kind of different and interesting and shifted her hand so that the cover of the top book is visible and the title was something like "Wiccan Sexual Magick" and you could almost hear the ka-ching in his head. I still give him poo poo about this every time we go to HPB.

La Jolla is 'la hoya' for example. e: and g is just g so if they are pronouncing 'Angelica' as 'Anhelica' they're again just being retards Moridin920 fucked around with this message at 17:43 on Aug 23, 2016 |

I wanted to respond to the PallasAthene's post with a clip from the movie club dread where a character tries to pick up by saying "what a beautiful name...penolope"(mispronounced as peena-lope) but when i googled 'what a beautiful name' the first suggestion was how to say "that is a beautiful name" in spanish.

Moridin920 posted:does it make you mad if someone says 'baha blast' versus using the hard 'j' sound though? Baha Blast is how I say it. But when people go out of their way to say it with an accent, they almost always overdo it like crazy. Unless I was talking to someone who only spoke Spanish, I would say "la hoya." If the whole conversation was in Spanish it would just flow into the sentence. I guess it would be like if I was talking to a person whose family was German for example and went out of my way to say Boodvieser, it would feel pretty condescending. Especially if that wasn't even the right way to say it because I just guessed how it sounded based on however the German equivalent of Speedy Gonzalez talks. Also, Speedy Gonzalez is one of my favorite literary characters.

Moridin920 posted:but that's note even how those words are pronounced in Spanish lol so yeah they're being annoying idiots And it's always loving Spanish with these people. Even in Canada. One time while wasted at a family event my mother in law said that they like to go to Cuba and Mexico every year or so because she "speaks a bit of Spanish." The reality is that she struggles to pronounce even the simplest words and the closest thing she's come to learning it is a phrasebook that's kept in the kitchen that collects dust most of the time until her husband picks it up to quiz her on random words neither of them can pronounce. We once showed them the Spanish course on Duolingo, because it's a stupid easy and proven way to learn the basics of a new language and we were hoping they would be really excited about it but they could not have been any less interested. Nobody seems to be this way for French or any other language, except maybe nerdy weebs with Japanese. Mak0rz fucked around with this message at 17:53 on Aug 23, 2016 |

Well it sounds like they're less trying to use Spanish accents and more just trying to be purposefully offensive by exaggerating it into a stereotype? And yeah that sounds annoying as hell lol Speedy is dope. Mak0rz posted:And it's always loving Spanish with these people.

Back when I was working a job that required me to call out customers names I was always really worried about appearing ignorant by mispronouncing foreign or exotic names. So to make it seem like I was just retarded rather than bigoted I would purposely mispronounce all names including the common anglo ones, until I got in trouble for pronouncing colin as colon.

Ok mostly because that's what I call my dog when I take him out for his evening walk because I usually have to wake him up and it takes time five minutes to process the word "outside". And once we're outside he just kinda wanders aimlessly till it clicks that he needs to pee.

The two Spanish speakers I interact with the most are both Spaniards and about 90% of the Spanish literature I read is by Spaniards so I guess that's why?
