That one word everyone says it means love or some type of compliment to call your girlfriend.
But actually means whore.
Person1: Hey you should call your Latina gf my puta
Person 2:Why?
Person1: its a compliment in Spanish Person 2: "Texts" my puta to her gf
GF: breaks up with the guy
What does puta mean? Don't say this around tu abuela.. Puta (plural, putas) literally means "whore" in Spanish, but depending on the context, it can also function like the English fucking, bitch, and motherfucker. It is often exclaimed in frustration or surprise.
Girl: ew do you see that puta over there im about to beat her up
Boy: Why?
Girl: sHeS a ToTaL BiTcH
As a native Spanish and fluent French speaker, I can say that the previous definitions are either definitely wrong, or are private jokes.
Puta means whore in Spanish. The equivalent word in French is Pute or Putain, not Puta.
The origin of both the French and Spanish words is Putida, which refers to a stinky woman in Latin. In other Latin-derived languages you find Puta in Portuguese, and Putana in Italian.
Spanish: Eres un hijo de puta! You are a son of a bitch
French:
Fils de pute! Son of a bitch.
Ginette a beau se définir comme une escort, mais elle est simplement une putain un peu chère que les tapineuses. Ginette may say that she is an escort, she’s simply a whore more expensive than the streetwalkers.
