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.

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?
