In this thread: Americans bewildered that someone might prefer to speak their native language instead of English.
- red75prime 1y agoI'm not a native English speaker and I'm bewildered that people care whether technical vocabulary is native or loaned. I understand political arguments (cultural cohesion, antiglobalism, diversity, etc), but, damn, it's technical, not some culturally foundational stuff.
- anthk 1y agoSpaniard here: localized terms from English are kinda vanilla in Spanish: stack -> pila push -> lit. empujar; or meter (put sth in) pull -> sacar (get sth out) . Pull it's literally 'tirar de', but that means 'pull from', that's it, semantically you don't get the item. Thus, 'sacar' it's perfect for this. Altough I don't like what Latinoamericans did to 'array', which is 'arreglo' (repair, fix, setting). "Formación" (already used in military as a sorted array of soldiers, in English too) would be far better.
