Just a side note, maybe they learned with Duolingo, because Duo is super bad about this shit and it annoys me. It will spend 100 lessons pushing “Smøren as butter, the suddenly start using it as “lubrication” and using the proper word for Butter. Spanish has this a lot. And you might also wonder, “how do you know if you are learning it.” Sometimes it’s really obvious based on the word clearly relating to a root word. Like recently where I am, it’s pushing “anticuado” as “outdated”. Except that is obviously “Antiquated”. Which has a very very similar meaning, but it’s a different word. Though this translator app is almost as bad because it’s telling me outdated is “Obsoleto”, which once again, is similar but not the same, and clearly “obsolete”. The app also suggests “obliguado” which seems most likely the actual correct match, but only because I don’t see an obvious similar English word there. Sorry, I am just ranting on a meme. But also when teaching languages, I wish these systems were much more precise. Don’t give me similar words or synonyms, don’t slightly rearrange the sentence structure in the translation, make it as close as possible. I am trying to learn Spanish, not “learn how to translate the spirit of the meaning.”
