I know in Spain and México the word "dojo" (pronounced "doyo") is used, yet I don't see it appear in DRAE nor Moliner.

Can anyone confirm "dojo" is the correct spelling in Spanish?

Any other comments or data on the word will be appreciated as well! :)

I didn't know this word, but in Google you can find "dojo", although I'm not sure. :thinking: :)

Thank you, Irmamar... (I thought you went to the dojo every day to practice self-defense...) ;) :D

No, I don't need it; I have my dog, who protects me better than I would do. :D

Ah, you don't need the dojo, because you have a dog-o... sorry, not a dogo at all, an Alsatian or German shepherd, rather... ;) :D

Well, if anyone in Spain is familiar with "dojos"... or has an authoritative answer, say something...

(Dogo in Spanish = Mastiff, Great Dane)

:)

Yes, dojo is the correct word in Spanish also.

¡Gracias, Chileno!

La palabra orginal es dojo (doyo) y se utiliza tal cual....
saludos :D

Gracias Sosia. (¡Dojonudo!) :rolleyes: :D
