minus-squarei_love_FFT@jlai.lulinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoIn French, “papa” is the informal way to call your own father, while “père” describes the relationship. I don’t know enough about Spanish to compare, but the french translation feels right to me. (Actually… Translating “Noël” into a word that talks about Christ and Masses feels weird to me!)
