pH, más que hamor, frensi.

Since the first time that I was abroad, I have been wondering why the most of the spanish who try to speak English use the spanish sound of "j" for words starting by "h". For example:

Hello = jelou
How are yoy? = jau ar iu?

The funniest point is that for spanish people, the "h" hasn't got any sound in their language!

Does somebody know any explanation?

Pretty simple. The letter "h" is an aspirated sound in English - with a few exceptions, like "hour" or heir" - and the closest equivalent in Spanish is the fricative velar [x] (that is, "j" or "g" in "ge, gi"). So when you are confronted to a sound you don't have in your native language, you tend to substitute it with the closest equivalent available in you language.

Curiously, Andalusian learners can pronounce better the English [h], as our pronunciation of [j] is much softer than that of northern Spaniards. One of my classmates was from Madrid and hearing her "house" was painful indeed.

PS My first post here is in English. Funny isn't it?

If you don't like my topic, you have two options:

1.- Don't read it.
2.- Read it anyway and cry.

If you don't like an english forum, you have two options as well:

1.- Don't enter here.
2.- Enter and say something really funny but stupid like:

Si te digo "que te den por el ano", tienes dos opciones:

1) Ir, y que te den por el ano.

2) Quedarte, y entonces quien te va a dar por el ano soy yo.




Kisses.

We all have to say things in english in this subforum, Nicotin, so if you want to say something to Merleneyer or to somebody else, there is a proper way:

Que te den por el ano -> means, literally, what they give you by the anus, which is a very significant expression in every single part, from Tanzania to St. Petersburg.

Another ways to express the same thing are:

May your anus be wide open for a bunch of zulu warriors to spread their seed into it.

You are going to be impaled by my percheron horse, and you are going to cry loud enough to be heared in Sussex.

You are likely to be inseminated by a giant cock full of veins.

You can´t choose only one, can you?

brother in laaaaaaw!
