That’s super cool. Absolutely nothing to do with Liturgy and Sacraments, but super cool anyway.¡ ¿uʍop ǝpısdn ǝɔuǝʇuǝs ǝןoɥʍ ǝɥʇ ʇnoqɐ ʍoɥ
Copy and paste works for me.

Up until Windows XP there was a character map. I thought Windows 7 had it too, but I’ve no idea where it is.
In any case, one can also always try the ascii equivalents, which are not dependent on the version of Windows.

For those who don’t know how this works:
Hold down the ALT key and hit (on the NUMLOCK side) 168 then release ALT key for ¿
For upside down “!” hit the 173 keys for ¡

mass - misaI don’t know Spanish enough to know why it’s “santisimo” instead of “adoracìon”, perhaps “santisimo” refers to the monstrance, the Host, I’m sure if you had said “adoracìon” they would’ve nodded yes.
Father John will be here at 6:30. Padre Juan
Spanish Mass is at 3:00 PM El mass??? espanol es a las tres (not sure about this one)
Lo siento, no soy un sacerdote.
bautismo
Deacon- diácono
Phone numbers are generally given out in this format #-##-##-## so 555-1234 would be cinco - cincuenta y cinco - doce - treinta y cuatro
I am just finished up a month of Intensive Pastoral Spanish in San Antonio, TX.
La Santisimo is the Holy Sacrament

¡Muchas gracias, hermano David!
In case anyone wonders about the accents(acento escrito), they’re there to tell you where to place the tonic accent, they’re always placed on irregular words, irregular in that they don’t follow the usual norms on where to place the tonic accent in words with 2-3 syllables, different endings etc. For those who wonder what the tonic accent is, take for instance the word “photography”, the accent is clearly on the “to”, the emphasis if you will. “Diàcono”, emphasis on the “a”, if there were no accent, the emphasis would be on the “co”, if memory serves.

It’s actually El Santisimo, since God is male , wouldn’t want people to think you are calling God female, brother
It’s often easy to figure out since words that end in o are male and words that end in a are female, for other words you just have to memorize it.
And we don’t call refer to it as Adoracion although that’s what we are doing,
we often just say I’m going to El Santisimo, or where is the Santisimo I want to pray, etc.
Hope that helps, native Spanish speaker here!

Well OP, I learned today that “coffee” with an accent on the last “e” means coffee/brown in Mexican Spanish, but it’s a different word in s.american Spanish and European Spanish. So I’ve been teaching my class Mexican slang. /sigh. At least one of the parents was kind enough to correct me!

The thing is, she pointed to the picture of the monstrance but then move her index finger across the word Adoration and said “Santisimo” out loud. I naturally assumed that santisimo meant adoration.
Well, at least I know now, and Google Translate is on my phone. This is a super interesting thread for me.

It’s a very good reminder that much of the Spanish (and its endings) comes from Latin.
“Bless” or “blessed” though is an Anglophone “made-up” word, according to my research. We’ve translated “benedicere” (speak well of) as “bless” but modern day usage seems to have distorted its original meaning. Sanctissimum is probably better translated as “Most Holy,” though “holy” is another Anglophone “made-up” word. The superlative however brings out its truer meaning IMO.

Yes you got it, Adoracion is what you do and Santisimo is the actual Body of Christ in the monstrance. If you want to learn spanish you can start going to Spanish mass and pick up more words there:thumbsup:
