Dedo
This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word for January 6, 2009
dedo - masculine noun (el) - finger, toe. Look up dedo in the dictionary Tenemos diez dedos en las manos y diez dedos en los pies. We have ten fingers on our hands and ten toes on our feet. |
People keep telling me that we have 8 fingers, because thumbs aren't fingers. Is that true? I don't think so.

It depends on the context. If you're comparing fingers and thumbs, then thumbs aren't fingers. If you're comparing fingers and toes, then thumbs are fingers too. :) Ask anyone how many fingers and how many toes they have, and they will answer 10 and 10. Technically, they're all phalanges anyway.
|
oh ok and toes can be los dedos del pie (of one foot)
right? |
That's correct. Los dedos del pie son toes en inglés. You don't have to say del pie if it's understood you're talking about the feet.
|
How do you pronounce this word? Do the d's sound more like the English 'th' or do they make the hard d sound?
|
I think it's the hard d sound.
I don't know. :( |
