Culitho means “ass”
In Spanish.
- 29athrowaway 4y agoTechnically, does not mean anything. 1) th is not used in Spanish 2) th would be likely hispanized as z 3) taken literally would sound culit-jo If you ignore that you are left with "culito" which is ass + diminutive = small ass
- estebarb 4y agoIn Spanish the H is silent, except with the C consonant (like in chat, champagne...). So, Th would be pronounced like just T. For example, thermo and now culitho.
- 29athrowaway 4y agoThermo is a loan word that people hispanize as "termo" (the Spanish equivalent).
- longemen3000 4y agowell, thermo is from the greek word thérmē meaning heat. we use the termo- suffix for all things that involve heat (thermodynamics -> termodinámica, thermometer -> termómetro)
- jolmg 4y agoPrefix. Suffixes come at the end.
- 29athrowaway 4y agoI am aware of the etymology you refer to, but in this case I am referring to something different. The noun "termo" in Spanish is formally recognized by the RAE to refer to a vacuum insulated food jar (such as the ones sold by Thermos®), and that is the word I was referring to, as it is the most widely identifiable use of the word "termo" in Spanish. https://dle.rae.es/termo https://dle.rae.es/termo i.e.: "Pasame ese termo por favor?", "Se me ha quedado el termo en mi casa".
- pezezin 4y agoYeah, and "litho" is also a Greek root than in Spanish is written "lito": https://dle.rae.es/lito-#NRayp6C https://dle.rae.es/lito-#NRayp6C
- copperx 4y agoI'm a native Spanish speaker and 2 and 3 are completely false. 1 is true, but when pronouncing foreign words with th, the sound is invariably converted to a T. Thanos is "Tanos," Thermos is "termo," Ethernet is "Eternet," and so on.
- 29athrowaway 4y agoThe pronunciation of a word depends of a variety of factors, such as the path a loan word followed to get into the language. There is no such thing as "when pronouncing foreign words with th, the sound is invariably converted to a T". Which sound are you referring to, the Greek "Θά" ('θa")? Or the English "th" which becomes the voiced dental fricative /ð/ or the voiceless dental fricative /θ/? Does "ethernet" have a formally recognized translation by the RAE? No, it doesn't. You are being dishonest and making stuff up here. A formal translation for "Thanos" doesn't exist in Spanish, what does exist is a translation for the given name Ἀθανάσιος ("Thanos" is a shortened version of the given name "Athanasius"), which is translated to Spanish as Atanasio, because it arrived to Spanish from Greek. Another possible translation of Thanos may be the translations made by Marvel which I cannot care less about and do not carry any weight whatsoever. And the fact that you are native Spanish speaker makes little difference here. How trustworthy is a native Spanish speaker? You will know it when you navigate the Spanish speaking Internet and find most of it are antivaxxers, flat earthers and people that believe "US Navy" is a given name ("Usnavy"). I know this because I have native Spanish proficiency as well.

I know this because I have native Spanish proficiency as well. That's the Latino internet. European Spanish internet is more about the Black Legend, posts about Spanish Empire by a user who inevitably has a Burgundy cross avatar, Franco nostalgia and how England and Holland cheated them of glory.

- andresgottlieb 4y agoCould you please give an example of a word where th is hispanized as z?
- electroagenda 4y agoThe phoneme 'th' does not exist in Spanish. So, we tend to mispronounce it. Many of us, at least for the native European Spanish speakers, pronounce a Spanish 'z' instead of 'th'. By the way, the spanish phoneme 'z' is pronounced differently to the english phoneme 'z'.
- electroagenda 4y agoJust to be more precise: We can do that in "think" or "thanks". But not in "they". In the latter case we tend to mispronounce it as a Spanish phoneme 'd'.
- pezezin 4y agoActually the sound /ð/ exists in Spanish, but it is an allophone of /d/. For example, the word dedo is pronounced as /'deðo/. That means that for a native Spanish speaker it is very difficult to learn to separate both sounds. Taken from Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_phonology#Consonants https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_phonology#Consonants "The phonemes /b/, /d/, and /ɡ/ are realized as approximants (namely [β̞, ð̞, ɣ˕], hereafter represented without the downtacks) or fricatives[6] in all places except after a pause, after a nasal consonant, or—in the case of /d/—after a lateral consonant; in such contexts they are realized as voiced stops.[7] (In one region of Spain, the area around Madrid, word-final /d/ is sometimes pronounced [θ] especially in a colloquial pronunciation of its name, Madriz ([maˈðɾiθ]).[8]) "
- anthk 4y agoIt's more obvious with "dado". And, if the case of participles, we just nearly butcher the in-between 'd' in -ado as -ao, simillarly to the Southern speakers from the US on lots of words.
- atq2119 4y agoYes, but a cute one. It's the diminutive form.
