Cancha
This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word for October 30, 2009
cancha (feminine noun (la)) — field, pitch. Look up cancha in the dictionary Le pegó tan fuerte a la pelota que la sacó de la cancha. He hit the ball so hard it left the playing field. |
Uhmmm... :o Ok this is not directly about this word but on a word it looks very similar to (I hope you guys don't mind the digression..)
Now I hope this will not be considered rude..:o But a Peruvian guy recently told me about the word 'concha', meaning (apart from shell) also to be a reference to a certain female bodypart and this being quite a rude word for it (if in fact there is such a thing as a very polite word for it without using euphemisms..:D). I just wanted to check if this is indeed true and also, if this word is used like this in all Spanishspeaking countries? :confused: |
It word is used in likely in Spain, here generally is used that body female part is named for its name, therefore, I believe that it's used at least in Europe, and well I believe that in South American people can have another way to say the word with different mention.

There is nothing polite about it...:rolleyes: I do not know what other countries would use concha like that... maybe Uruguay and Paraguay but not sure. |
Ok !! :thumbsup:
¡Muchas gracias! :D :rose: |
I've heard this word from Latin American people. We don't say it (we have another ones :D ). I always think that Spanish is a rich language in many aspects... ;)

Pues creo que la mayoría de los idiomas tienen varios eufemismos anatómicos. ;)

Conchita is woman's name in Mexico, but then again Dick is a common name for men in most English-speaking regions.
