I want to share with you a funny experience that recently took place. I want to share this story with you because it illustrates two very common mistakes that English speakers make when speaking Spanish. You will also learn the following:
1. How To Say Male Animal In Spanish
2. How To Say Female Animal In Spanish
3. How To Say Male In Spanish
One morning I went with a Colombian “amigo” to buy a “perrito” (puppy) for his daughter’s birthday.
While in the “tienda de mascota” (pet shop), I noticed an English speaking male with his wife or girlfriend. I couldn’t figure out where he was from by listening to his accent. He wasn’t American. But his native language was English. I believe that he was from New Zealand or Australia.
And I heard him ask the “muchacha” (girl) working in the “tienda de mascota” a question about one of the puppies.
He asked,
¿Ese perrito es un muchacho?
Is that puppy a boy?
The “muchacha” working in the store then gave him a very confused look.
And then he asked her:
¿Ese perrito es un hombre?
Is that puppy a man?
Then she turned and looked at her “compañera de trabajo” (co-worker) as if she wanted to ask “do you understand this foreigner? Why is he asking is an animal a human?”
How To Say Male Animal In Spanish
Well, it is a common mistake for English speakers to refer to male animals as “muchachos” (boys) or “hombres” (men) when speaking Spanish. But the correct word for a male animal is “macho.” For example:
Mi perra tuvo una camada de siete cachorros, cuatro hembras y tres machos.
My dog had a litter of seven puppies, four females and three males.
Back to the incident that took place this morning . . .
The English speaker then asked the “muchacha” (girl) another question. Referring to the same puppy, he asked:
¿Es una mujer? Is it a woman?
And again, the “muchacha” turned and looked at her “compañera de trabajo” (co-worker) with a very puzzled look.
How To Say Female Animal In Spanish
Well, it is also a common mistake for English speakers to refer to female animals as “mujeres” (women) or “muchachas” when speaking Spanish. The correct word for a female animal is “hembra.”
How To Say Male In Spanish
By the way, when referring to a human, the Spanish word for male is “varón.”
As we were leaving the “tienda de mascota” (pet shop), my Colombian “amigo” who also speaks English fluently — and happens to have a very warped “sentido del humor” (sense of humor) then said to me:
“Patrick, the Gringo’s mistake could have been worse. Imagine if he had made a mistake with his Spanish and asked the question in reverse: ‘¿Esa mujer es una perra?'”
By the way, in Colombia, I noticed that Colombians have a tendency to refer to any English-speaking foreigner as a “Gringo” — not just Americans.
