This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Why would you make it a 'th' at the end??

[–] baahb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 day ago

Autocorrect is a motherfucker

The weird 'th' handling of 'c' isn't just a Catalan thing? Is that all of Spain? I know I'm biased as a North American, but preference for Mexican Spanish.

[–] sanzky@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

that is why the Barthelona thing is so pedantic. In Catalan is pronounced more like "barsalona"

The th pronunciation is Spanish.

In Catalan c before e or i is pronounced like a hard s.

Oh, thanks for the clarification!

[–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I have no idea about 'c' becoming 'th'. I was referring to the 't' at the end that the above comment made 'the' when breaking it down, which they have mentioned in a reply was an auto-correct error.

The Spanish I know is not generally NA influenced.

Ah, I guess they had fixed the autocorrect by the time I saw it.

Apparently it is most, but not quite all, of of Spain that does the 'th' business... Which makes me wonder if the horse's name should use the 'th' sound: https://youtube.com/shorts/dxBoVaOuw4Q?is=uFdY_uC6q6AjdcDF

It's the Spaniard pronunciation. Virtually everyone else would pronounce it as "see".
