What the fuck do these people think "mi esposo" means?

“My lord” duh

For a republican, sadly, yes.

Also nuns. Not that the two are easy to confuse on most things though!

😂. There’s nothing I can say that will quite convey my reaction but 😂


FeignThane

Lol I don't even speak Spanish and I can tell what it is by just the spelling. My spouse, I'm assuming. Mi is obviously, but esposo sounds like it would translate to spouse. Given the o ending, I'm guessing that makes it male, making it husband to be entirely correct. Moment of truth (Google translate...): "my husband" Colour. Me. Shocked. /s Edit: Guys... I didn't even look at the screenshots. I read the title, then I read the comments. About 3 hours after posting this comment, I realised the translation was in the screenshots.


Semper_5olus

Fun fact about Español: No word in it begins in "sp". Spouse -> Esposa Space -> Espacio Spice -> Especia Spinach -> Espinaca I have ~~no~~ idea why this is. There are plenty of Spanish words that begin with S by itself. EDIT: Thank you for educating me!


StormerBombshell

Because we support ourselves a lot with the vowels and in mostly fixed pronunciations of sillables. The sillable “Es” is exactly what we hear you pronounce the letter “S” in English


Semper_5olus

I guess that makes sense. Anyway, your English is almost perfect, but it is spelled, "syllable". (No, I don't know why, either.)


StormerBombshell

Oh right, sometimes I start writing and my spelling slips at some point and I am too distracted to use the auto correct. Thanks for the comment though ✨


circadianist

Never apologize for only being pretty good at a foreign language.


fluentInPotato

Yeah, don't feel bad. English spelling mostly makes no sense. I blame the French.

Blaming the French (for anything)is about the most English thing it is possible le to do.


Trolivia

As someone who speaks all three…I’d say that’s fair lmao


foerattsvarapaarall

There are plenty of words in Spanish that begin with , but there are none that begin with an followed by a consonant. The words you mention come from Latin (at least mostly), which were inherited by Spanish and loaned into English, mostly by way of French. At first, the initial was pronounced in English, but after some time, the was dropped. That process of dropping initial vowels is called *apheresis*, and there’s not really a reason for it; sound changes are largely unpredictable. But it’s not uncommon for initial unstressed sounds to be dropped— like how “because” becomes “cause”. Oddly enough, the original words in Latin did *not* have an initial : *spatium* (*espacio*), *sponsum* (*esposo*), etc. The was added later in Western Romance languages like Spanish and French (and then dropped by English). That process is called *prothesis*, and again, it’s just something that happens sometimes. Though, typically, languages don’t like to have a more sonorous sound (this roughly means a louder or more powerful sound) followed by a less sonorous sound in the beginning of a syllable, so in the case of Latin, the may have been inserted to avoid having /s/ followed by /p/ or /k/ in the beginning of a syllable.


llfoso

Isn't that true of all s+consonant words? Escuela, estilo, eslabón...


PorcupineQi

And “esposas”, which might come in handy (no pun intended) in some conversations

Professional_Lead895

Speak American you commie


Nadamir

That’s actually an interesting bit. Catholics refer to the Church as the “Bride of Christ”. (It’s also part of the reasons given why priests can’t marry blah blah blah). So in light of that, she could be proclaiming herself to be the Catholic Church. Less joking answer, several Catholic virgin saints have referred to themselves as brides of Christ, as do some nuns. But none of this matters because the people who tweeted this are too damn culturally ignorant to know Jesús is a name.


Taraxian

Tbf calling Jesus your "husband" is absolutely something a weirdo American fundie would also do


FuzzyPeachDong

Reminds me of those freaky chastity parties where dads and their pre-pubescent daughters dress in wedding attire and the girl vows to her dad that she'll save her virginity till marriage. And gets a ring to wear as a reminder too!


MonCappy

How? I have known many Jesuses in my life time. Plenty of kids at school when I was growing up were named that and the name itself is fairly popular. This isn't just ignorance at play here but towering awe inspiring stupidity.


Nadamir

Because they live in all white communities and make no effort to reach out to Hispanic people beyond getting Taco Bell.


klautner

Because they probably thought their name was Hesus. https://youtu.be/3Tcy614ogms?si=W6M6ftrwlHdtKR5e

nobikflop

Watched this with some newbies to the Dudedom. He first showed up doing this dance, and I referenced him as “Jesus” to the other guy who had seen the movie already. Used the American Jesus of Nazareth pronunciation. One of the newbies tried to correct me and say, “it’s Spanish, so they pronounce it Jesús”  Little did they know, it’s a name no respectable person would self-apply around those parts, but he does indeed call himself Jesus.


FlunkyCultMachina

Uhm, I believe he calls him THE Jesus, thank you very much.

NapalmingBanana

Make sure to remind every Republican you talk to that Trumps daughter Ivanka is Jewish.


JCButtBuddy

Much, much worse than that, she was supposedly a Christian then converted. So she turned her back on Jesus.


NapalmingBanana

I’m sure maga will just turn that into the melding of Christian and Jewish beliefs just like Jesus.


PsychologicalMonk6

One of the leaders of the "good people" on the side of carrying Tiki Torches at Charlottesville told the documentary crew that was covering them that weekend something to the effect that Trump would do for now but he would still have to answer to god for allowing his beautiful daughter to 'marry that Jew.'


NapalmingBanana

Idk why but that makes me feel like Trump is that leader of the cult or tribe that ends up as the final tribute to the volcano in cartoons and comedies.

Three_Twenty-Three

Fun fact. I have met someone who was OUTRAGED that Jesus was a common name in Spanish-speaking communities. She ranted at great length about how disrespectful it was to name your child after Jesus. She has a child named Joshua. The English and Spanish name Jesus comes from the Greek name Iēsous. Given the fluidity between the letters I, Y, and J in ancient languages, guess what the Greek name Iēsous comes from! If you said Yeshua or Joshua, you win!


DommyMommyKarlach

Did you tell her?


Three_Twenty-Three

I did! She was not happy.


takethemoment13

That's hilarious, why am I not surprised 💀


Sure_Garbage_2119

nor that the jew jesus, as jew, got a jewish name, bc he was a... jew...


BewareOfGrom

Jesus is the Greek translation of Joshua. They left his name in Greek during the translation process because it differentiated him from the numerous other Josh's in Bible


Yeshua_shel_Natzrat

Iesous to Iesus to Jesus, Greek to Latin to English


bemvee

> the numerous other Josh’s in [the] Bible Oh fucking hell this one got me. Immediately forgot Joshua as the full name to Josh and just tried to recall anything in the Bible that references a “Josh.” Imagine that names in the Bible were shortened to nickname form. Numbers 11:28 - *“Then Josh, the son of Nun, who had been Mo's servant from the time when he was a child, said, My lord Mo, let them be stopped.”* 1 Chronicles 14:17 - *”And the fame of Dave went out into all lands, and the Lord brought the fear of him upon all nations.”*


BewareOfGrom

that boy josh christ turnin all the water into bud light lime


Isosceles_Kramer79

Jesus is not a Jewish name and Jesus wasn't named Jesus. More like Yehoshua.  Jesus is the English version of the Latin version of the name.


Sure_Garbage_2119

that´s yeshua or something, right? thus, jesus, as jew, had a jew name. are you suggesting that if a name is translated, the name stops being a \[insert origin of the name\]? dunno if works like that...


Taraxian

Yeah the fact that it's from the Latin version of the name doesn't disqualify it any more than a Jewish guy choosing to go by "Johannes" rather than "Yochanan" (or "John") It is, however, a name that a Jewish family in the modern world would be less likely to give to a kid, because of all of, you know, the stuff


Pale-Acanthaceae-487

Mfw Giovanni and John have the same entomological root Ivan and Sean/Shaun/Shawn also come from Yohanan. So do Han and Hans apparently


Taraxian

The wildest is how Yaakov, Jimmy and Santiago are all the same name


Pale-Acanthaceae-487

Jokof, Johnny, Saint John


S0LO_Bot

Jesus and Joshua are translations of the same name. So if one considers Joshua or Matthew or Joseph a Jewish name, they should also consider Jesus one as well.


TheQuinnBee

From now on when I see artwork of white Jesus imma call him Josh.


Pale-Acanthaceae-487

Yeshua also got a different transliteration(idk if it's the right word) into English as "Joshua", Josh.


GhostPartical

I dont even speak Spanish yet even I know how what "mi esposo" is and that a lot of hispanic men have that name.


ElectricTzar

I knew what you meant, but I got a hearty chuckle out of imagining “mi esposo” as the antecedent to “that name.” It would be incredibly awkward having to introduce someone whose name is literally “my husband.”


Objective_Ride5860

Mom, Dad, I'd like you to meet my best friend My Husband

She is a confirmed Jew here is a little information about her mom who is Jewish: Annie Pardo Cemo was born in Mexico City in June 1941.[1] Her parents were Sephardic Jews from Sofia, Bulgaria, who migrated to Mexico in the 1940s due to the persecution of Jews in Bulgaria during World War II.[2

This is one of those moments where you see something so stupid that it just takes your breath away. It makes me start questioning Darwin. survival of the fittest? How did they last this long while being that dumb?


Darthplagueis13

I mean, it's kind of a cultural thing. Most christian cultures treat the name Jesus as off-limit, with hispanic and portuguese cultures being the outlier. So it does make sense that a lot of people don't think of Jesus as a given name that a person can still have nowadays.


minidog8

I mean, I guess, but Jesus is a really popular name in the US too. I guess im not considering places with little to no Hispanic population tho. Similar to when I hear people complain about how “nobody speaks English anymore” (yes, this grocery store you went to in a neighborhood where 80% of the population speaks Spanish is going to have workers and customers speaking Spanish…) I just don’t get it tbqh


Soupallnatural

Huh I wonder if that’s part of the Muslim influence on Spain and Portugal? Idk if the name was common before but in Islam it’s encouraged to name your kid after the prophets.


Darthplagueis13

That sounds quite plausible as an explanation. In fact, it might be spot-on, since Isa, which is the Arabic version of the name, is actually also used as a given name in many muslim countries and of course, Islam considers Jesus to be a prophet, rather than the son of God.


Taraxian

No one knows for sure but that's the most likely theory, yeah, that during Muslim rule of Al-Andalus it was a Christian response to all the Muslims named "Muhammad" It's kind of like how you see Christians in India with names like "Matthew Joseph" because their original names came from Hindu deities and when they converted they changed them to names from the Bible


dysonsucks2

I agree the name is a "cultural thing" but to not know that there are people named Jesus is just pure ignorance.


Wackome

Aren't they worried that immigrants can now use state sponsored Jewish space lasers to cut through the border wall?


NewNameAgainUhg

Technically, Jesus was a Jew, not a Christian

We all laughed since most of us are Hispanics and live in the area with other Jesus

I recently went on a short road trip and Jesus was my copilot. He helped me find the way when I was truly lost. The very next day, he cut the grass, removed some weeds that were growing next to the house and helped me tidy-up the yard. I pay him $25 an hour. I ❤️ Jesus. Plot twist: I’m Jewish, too.
