An important part of each language is abusive words. Usually they are taboo in society, but nevertheless people use them quite actively. At the same time, people often miss obscene vocabulary when studying foreign languages, but in vain. Indeed, it is often enough to make a mistake on one letter, and you already become a snapper. As an example, the Spanish words pollo and polla. Do not see the difference? Further in the article we will tell you everything.
Why is it important to study profanity when learning a foreign language
Everything is quite simple. As you know, a person, in order to fully assimilate in a foreign language society, needs absolute knowledge of a foreign language. However, without knowledge of profanity, a person cannot claim to be fluent in the language. Indeed, in colloquial speech, people often use mat (where without it!). Therefore, it is unfortunate that people pay little attention to this topic, and we will now devote the reader to the world of Spanish curses.
What is the peculiarity of Spanish obscene language?
In general, as many people know, European languages are quite poor in vocabulary. If in the Russian language you can find a million synonyms for each word, then in European languages you can hardly pick up 1-2, if at all. Swearing is no exception. Spanish curses, for example, are not diverse. However, the same as English, French and any others.
Why did this happen, not a single linguist scientist can answer. And this is strange enough, because Europeans colonized the whole world, which means that their languages should have a variety of vocabulary.
But back to the curses in Spanish. All of them can be divided into several groups:
- The first group is female insults. These words are aimed at insulting a woman.
- The second group is male insults. As you might guess, these words offend men.
- The third, largest group is the mat, attached to the genitals.
- And the last, fourth group - sexual abuse.
In appearance, it may seem that the supply of Spanish curses is quite large. However, in each group of these words there are only a few curses. Now we will consider them.
Spanish swear words with translation
First, consider the words of the first group. So, female insults in Spanish:
- la idiota - idiot;
- bruja - the witch;
- zorra - prostitute;
- puta is a bitch.
As we can see, a fairly limited number of words and almost no variety. Now let's see men's curses:
- asqueroso - bastard;
- cabeza de mierda - asshole;
- cabron - bastard;
- cutre - idiot;
- hijo de la puta - son of a bitch;
- imbecil - moron;
- janion - fat;
- joto - bugger;
- malparido - bastard;
- maricon is homosexual.
Male curses are somewhat different from female ones in their diversity. To offend a man in Spanish will be more elegant than a woman.
So, now the third group is the Spanish mat, tied to the genitals:
- chocha- female genital;
- polla - male genital organ.
Of course, there are a number of synonyms for these words, but it is not so great.
Now consider the last group of Spanish curses. Sexual abuse:
- Chupa!
- Chupa-chupa peruly!
- Chupeme!
- Mamar.
- Chingar.
Since it is quite difficult to find adequate censorship synonyms for them, we will leave this without translation.
Now that we have examined the shades of the Spanish mat, we can draw a small conclusion. Spanish curses, like their synonyms from other European languages, are not diverse, but they have sufficient specificity.
Pronunciation
In fact, people learning Spanish are quite lucky. In many languages, people practice pronunciation before learning vocabulary and grammar rules. However, in Spanish, mostly words are read in the same way as they are written. This is a rather unique property that no Romance language has. Therefore, the pronunciation of the above curses is not difficult. Just spell them.
Conclusion
Swearing has long been a common part of our lives. In the period of globalization, people are diligently studying foreign languages. An important part of them is abusive language. Unfortunately, many when learning languages miss this part.
At the very beginning of the article, we mentioned two words: pollo and polla. Now, if you carefully read the article, you can understand the difference: pollo is a chicken, and polla is a swear word, meaning male genital. It seems to be one letter, a very small mistake, but because of it you can get serious problems. Therefore, you need to be able to use special vocabulary.
Spanish cursing with transcription is what a beginner needs. Although transcription may not be necessary, in Spanish words are read in the same way as they are written.
