minus-square@rauls4@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish1•1 year agoIn Spanish the right and left are called diestra (dexterous) and siniestra (sinister) respectively.
minus-square@jmcs@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglish10•1 year agoThat’s Italian, in Spanish it’s Derecha and izquierda.
minus-squareRVGamer06linkfedilinkEnglish3•edit-21 year agoThat would be “destra” and “sinistra”, actually. “diestra” sounds like something made up by an American LARPing as an Italian

minus-square@jmcs@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglish6•1 year agoNever heard a Spanish person use diestra or siniestra on a day to day basis. I assume that’s like destra e sinistra in Portuguese (my native language) that are very rare synonyms used when someone wants to sound pretentious.

minus-square@rauls4@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish9•1 year agoWell. It’s Spanish. Most of it originated from Latin.
