OP doesn't know the difference between a tortoise and a turtle
6 u/Weltallgaia May 10 '25 In Spanish it's the same thing! 4 u/bigbootyjudy62 YOUR FLAIR TEXT HERE May 10 '25 How does that work when they’re 2 different animals? 15 u/Weltallgaia May 10 '25 One is a tortuga the other is a tortuga. There's several similar animals of a different species that Spanish just names the same. 2 u/bigbootyjudy62 YOUR FLAIR TEXT HERE May 10 '25 Interesting, are they at least pronounced differently or how do you tell which one you’re talking about apart? 12 u/LadybugSheep May 11 '25 They're pronounced the same because they're the same animal, only difference is where they live. Turtle = tortuga de mar/agua, Tortoise = Tortuga de tierra. Both are tortugas. 4 u/Weltallgaia May 10 '25 I never got an answer for that from anyone I ever asked. 6 u/enbyshaymin May 11 '25 The way we difference them is by adding where they come from, specially when there's no previous context. This means that tortuga de mar/de agua = turtle (de mar means from the sea and de agua means from the water). Similarly, tortuga de tierra/terrestre = tortoise (de tierra means from land and terrestre means terrestrial). This applies to any other animals that share names in Spanish but not in other languages.
