Amiga is female right?

however, in Latin-American Spanish sometimes they use the word "computadora"...

Aqui en California hay muchas personas quien hablan espanol, y nunca usamos la palabra, "ordenador."  Usamos "computadora."

In latin american Spanish speaking countries youth tend to use English words instead of Spanish ones, and also to create "barbarisms" probably due to lack of knowledge of the language.

Que insulto!

in the younger generations TV has probably ruined it.

Joven?!  Yo?!  Gracias por esa!

thanks for trying to write in Spanish but next time please don't use google translate ;-)

Aaa, tenemos un experto aqui con el idioma y sus dialectos.  Cuantos anos he usado espanol en la clase?  Como 36 anos!

Sorry... getting back to topic.  My Spanish-speaking students in the class have seen the Commodore and Amiga computers I bring into the classroom, and of course, they are interested in both.  They curiously look at the Amiga computer, wondering why it is called Amiga.

No Spanish speaker translates Commodore, Wolkswagen, Firestone... Never ever.

Just like the Mr. Clean brand became Don Limpio in Espana.
