Talk:eme

Hungarian

I don't think eme can only be used with words beginning with a consonant. It is universal, at least in modern use. Just google "eme okos" (712 hits) and "emez okos" (4 hits). Qorilla 01:44, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Eőry Vilma says in her etymology dictionary at the "emez" entry: mutató névmás (mássalhangzóval kezdődő szó előtt:) eme. --Panda10 22:00, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

@Mar vin kaiser which one? Mlgc1998 (talk) 12:32, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

@Mlgc1998: On where you got the etymology of "mierda". --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 12:49, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

@Mlgc1998: Just to clarify, since I can't find the word "mierda" in the Further Reading links, that's your own theory, right? --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 22:28, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

@Mlgc1998: Oh, I get it now. You got it from the Spanish entry here. I'd have to check how credible that is. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 00:22, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

@Mar vin kaiser Yeah, KWF said that it's from Spanish and DRAE talked about it at "eme²", which "eme¹" talks about the default letter definition and "eme²" for their slang sense, which looks like has extended to Tagalog as well at some point but many might not know anymore. Here's a book talking about it for Spanish. At pp.86-87, they talk about how by default, it meant the letter "m" in Spanish (Abecedario), which they normally pronounce as "Eme.", but it can also stand for a bad word in Spanish, which means "shit" because "Mierda."
