This.

It's actually written Quijote in Spanish, not sure why it's translated as Quixote.

Donkey Hot

Quick's Oat Tick

Was Cervantes a proto-anarcho primitivist? hard to shake the image of a man jousting with the symbol of the agricultural revolution.

>>16744150
Quixote is actually how it was written originally -- J hadn't become common in Spanish yet. It's spelled Quijote in Spanish now for the benefit of modern readers

>>16744180
Had no idea, thanks fren

wasn't it actually pronounced "quicks-otay" in Cervantes's time?

>>16744239
What?

I name my Portuguese Explorer in Age of Empires III Donkey Hotey. I think it’s funny

Oh by the way OP here, was talking about the word ‘quixotic’, it should be pronounced Qui-ho-tic

>>16743792
key-haw-teh

>>16744239
in Cervantes' times the /sh/ sound already got to /x/, so no...

>>16744173
We have dreamed for centuries. Ovid even touches on the subject at the start of Metamorphoses

>>16744239
Back then it was Kee-shot-ayy
But now the correct is Kee-hot-ayy
"cks" never ever, that's anglo nonsense

>>16744476
So I should say someone is being very quishotick?

>>16744994

I must admit, I do love how we live in your head. Almost every thread you can't help but take the challenge and lash out.

>>16745281
How truly flagellant, trying to find pride in being hated and lambasted
When the West collapses under its own degeneracy, I'll have the last laugh

>>16743792
We don't pronounce it "Qui-xo-tee" do we? So we as Anglos, should we pronounce it as "Qui-xo-tic"?

Make the right choice, pronounce it responsibly.

>>16744435
What do you think about the part where the gods have to transform the dyke into a boy so he can get married with his gf

>>16745683
Exactly. So I’m gonna say Key-hotic

>>16744150
>not sure why it's translated as Quixote.
XVIth century Spanish used "x" in place of "j". same with "f" instead of "h", for instance. Is not a translation thing but rather grammar that has fallen into obscurity

>>16745738
Roman culture was typical scared little male shit.
The Golden Age was what I was referring to.

Key-hoe-tay

When you said you were a frustrated artist earlier I thought it was pretension, but you do have an artist's sensibilities.

>>16743792
How do you pronounce the Don? Is the tongue suppose to tap the back of the upper teeth?

It literally is pronounced "key-otic" numbskull. The only people who pronounce it quix-otic are the retard Brits.

>>16743792
>It should be pronounced ‘Qui-ho-tic’

>>16744150
"j" sound was represented by "x" then. they chaged that to remove ambiguity unlike anglos that have a shitty language where one has no way of knowing how the fuck to pronounce words.
same with texas. its pronounced tejas and means tiles.

>>16747509
I've never read a translation of anything written in Latin that made me want to read Latin.

Don Quick saw tick.
