"El NiÃ±o" Is Spanish for "The NiÃ±o"	comment	A comedy trope where characters trying to understand or explain what a foreign word means ultimately conclude that the foreign word means... the foreign word. Related to Shaped Like Itself. Contrast Translate the Loanwords, Too and Too Long; Didn't Dub. Please note that as far as translation theory goes, this is entirely correct. While many words do often have one-for-one equivalents, words in general have so much linguistic and cultural baggage that no translation, no matter how equivalent in meaning, means exactly the same thing. Ironically, this is particularly true for the "El NiÃ±o" of the title. Whilst it literally translates as "the boy", it refers to the Central American weather system that is called El NiÃ±o even in English; the name was given in reference to this phenomenon peaking around Christmas, which in many Hispanic countries is known as "DÃa del NiÃ±o Dios" (Christ Child day). Contrast El Spanish "-o", You Are the Translated Foreign Word.

"El NiÃ±o" Is Spanish for "The NiÃ±o" / int_aa8d0ef0	comment	A few place names have come into English this way: the easy part is translated (typically a Spell My Name with a "The"), the hard part is just borrowed. Examples include The Hague (Dutch Den Haag, "the hedge"), Netherlands; The Dalles (French les dalles, either "the sluices" or "the flagstones"), Oregon; or The Pas (French Le Pas, itself a shortening of Cree opÃ¢skwÃªyÃ¢hk "at the wooded narrows"), Manitoba. Similarly for certain cases of countries that take or used to take a "the," such as "the Sudan" (Arabic (bilÄ�d) as-SÅ«dÄ�n, "(country of) the black people.") Frenchnote French uses definite articles for most countries, but not for most cities and some other European languages have done the same with Cairo (French: le Caire, Italian: Il Cairo), from Arabic al-QÄ�hirah.

"El NiÃ±o" Is Spanish for "The NiÃ±o" / int_f9f2c33	comment	This is a bit of a Running Gag in The Daily Show regarding Arabic phrases with the article "Al." For example, in one episode featuring an interview with an Al Jazeera reporter, Jon helpfully informs us that "Al Jazeera" means "The Jazeera" and that hopefully their guest will explain what a "Jazeera" is (he doesn't).note It means "the island," referring to the Arabian Peninsula.

"El NiÃ±o" Is Spanish for "The NiÃ±o" / int_fc151e9d	comment	Also from the Department of Redundancy Department page: An MGM short from 1935 called La Fiesta de Santa Barbara uses this for humorous effect during one of its narrator's helpful translations: "You may be asking, what is a 'fiesta'? Well, 'fiesta' comes from the Spanish word 'fiesta', which means... 'fiesta'."
