    Me gustan los memes españoles.

    Also just so you guys know meme is pronounced may-may in spanish. Makes me laugh every time I hear one of my friends say it in spanish.

      It’s more like meh-meh, our vowels don’t have additional sounds.

      For more accurate pronunciation you can think of Spanish vowels as if they had an ‘h’ at the end.

      Ah

      Eh

      Ih

      Oh

      Uh

        Adding the H to some of these letters wouldn’t give the right sound for native english speakers. I would transcribe these vowels using american english like so:

        A = ah : rhymes with ma

        E = ay : rhymes with hey

        I = ee : rhymes with tree

        O = oh : rhymes with blow

        U = oo : rhymes with shoe

      Why do y’all anglophones enjoy making language more complicated than it needs to be? Does it bring you joy to provoke suffering to the world?

      Thanks to watching La Casa de Papel with original sound and English subtitles, I can understand this meme.

        One of my favorite stories to tell related to this was when I went to a stadium to do some work and needed a bathroom.

        I noticed some people cleaning that looked Spanish, but I don’t like to assume people don’t know English so I started with “Do you happen to know where the bathroom is?” So they replied “lo siento, no hablo Ingles.” Having taken Spanish in highschool I remember like 8 words and switched “donde estas el bano?” And they replied “no Ingles, no Ingles.”

        …but… I’m speaking your language now… Lol

    I literally dont understand and I wish I could block memes that aren’t in English. They can’t even be easily translated because text in image.

      It’s just the same meme you have always seen, saying the same thing it always says. If you haven’t seen the meme before, you won’t know what it says. Everyone is just having fun “translating” what they have already memorized (meme-orized?).

      Sync supports native OCR extraction and translation of images as well as fully translating posts and comments. I don’t even recall it having that feature in Reddit, but it’s pretty awesome to have now.

      A lot of Lemmy communities require alt-text to display any text in the image, along with a descriptor for the visually-impared users of Lemmy.

      Not this post though, apparently.
