How would you translate the word “badass” to Spanish? I confirm that the polysemous word “cabrón”, in one sense and in the right context, is exactly “badass” in Spain (as it is in Mexico). “Chingón” (with a Mexican flavor and also polysemous, I believe) would be understood, but is not used. More specifically but probably only in Spain, “to be a badass” could be translated as “ser un broncas”, which is informal, but not vulgar or coarse as “cabrón” and “badass” are. This is by the way a strange informal construction, with the verb and the article in singular and “broncas” in plural (“Juan es un broncas”). |

Various translations of “ticket” In defense of the user hippietrail: I'm a Spaniard and I say ticket. Yes, it's an anglicism, but we use it. |

Why is “voy” used in “voy perdiendo” instead of “estoy”? @tchrist. Excellent translation. Thanks. |

What is the abbreviation for World War II? And what about the hundreds of academic papers published in History journals year after year? Written by authors from every Spanish-speaking country, they always use the acronym SGM. This unanimity is not surprising, as SGM is the natural and standard way of abbreviating Segunda Guerra Mundial in Spanish. |

Early childhood Spanish language immersion accent exposure +1 for your laconic but accurate answer to both questions by the original poster: "I don't think so". |

¿Por qué razón en España suelen pronunciar los extranjerismos de acuerdo a las reglas del español y no a las reglas del idioma original? Este asunto es muy interesante pero complejo. No se puede despachar ni mucho menos con una respuesta a vuelapluma. Para empezar, a veces los extranjerismos “se parecen” a la pronunciación original y otras veces no, pero nunca se conserva la pronunciación original, siempre hay adaptación. |

¿Por qué razón en España suelen pronunciar los extranjerismos de acuerdo a las reglas del español y no a las reglas del idioma original? -1. Por la retahíla de tópicos y por la ausencia de documentación sobre anglicismos. |
