Remember when Pinkie was singing in Spanish when Cheese Sandwich came to town? Yeah. She speaks Spanish.

Mi nombre es Pinkie!

It was a beautiful morning in the quiet town of Ponyville. The skies were clear, the sun was beating down on everyone's faces, birds chirping lovely melodies, and the flowers were blossoming to greet the new day. Everything was perfect in this little town.

Pinkie seemed to think the same thing.

Sure, Ponyville has had a lot of problems ever since her PFF, Twilight Sparkle, came to town. Nightmare Moon came to town and threatened to put their land in eternal night, Winter Wrap Up was going to be even later again, no thanks to Twilight, Discord came back, the town was put in a doll-loving frenzy (again, Twilight), the Tree of Harmony needed the elements of harmony back, otherwise the town would be destroyed...

Okay, Pinkie thought. Maybe I should get my mind off that. Now rainbow cupcakes, that is something to think about.

Pinkie was bouncing over to Twilight's house, which is now a castle. She decided to hang out with Twilight today, since she hasn't seen her in a while. After the whole Tirek incident, Twilight barely hung out with her friends anymore. Either she was ordering even more books since a lot of them were destroyed in the fire, or she was just really busy with the princesses. But Pinkie didn't care much. What was important was that her friend needed to have some fun! She had a whole day planned ahead.

Arriving at the doors, Pinkie knocked on the door, grinning widely. After a few moments, Twilight opens the door, while levitating a cup of coffee.

"Oh, good morning, Pinkie! Please come inside!" she said, letting her friend inside.

Pinkie said nothing, but gladly bounced right inside Twilight's home. The castle was big and roomy, with the ceilings higher than the sky itself. There were seven chairs in the sitting room, each and every one of them with her friends' cutie marks on them. The seventh one was very small, which was Spike's seat. It didn't have a cutie mark, just a bunch of crumbs from eating gems. Pinkie sat in her seat, eager to tell Twilight the exciting day she had planned.

"So," Twilight said, sitting in her throne, "What brings you here?"

Pinkie opened her mouth and said, "Tengo un día emocionante planeado con anticipación para nosotros!"

Twilight blinked, put a hoof in her ear to pull anything out, which there was nothing, and chuckled nervously, "Um...come again?"

Pinkie repeated, "Tengo un día emocionante planeado con anticipación para nosotros!"

Twilight stared Pinkie, looked at her coffee which she had put down earlier, then back at Pinkie. Was she hearing things? Surely Pinkie didn't just speak a different language that wasn't Equestrian, did she?

"Um, Pinkie, can you please say that in Equestrian, please?" Twilight asked.

"Caray, ¿cuántas veces tengo que decir que nos vamos a tener diversión hoy?" Pinkie sighed.

"Okay, calm down, Twilight. You're just going a bit crazy. You're only hearing things. She's just being Pinkie Pie." Twilight tried to reassure herself, but to no avail.

"¿Por qué hablas de ti mismo?" Pinkie asked, confused.

"Okay, Pinkie, can you understand me?" Twilight asked.

"Si!" Pinkie replied.

"Is that a yes or a no?" Twilight asked, tilting her head.

"Si!" Pinkie exclaimed.

Twilight sighed. Clearly this wasn't taking her anywhere. Spike was coming down the stairs, carrying a Power Ponies comic in his hand. Not even looking up, he greeted the bubbly pink mare.

"Hey Pinkie."

"Hola, Spike, ¿cómo estás?" Pinkie asked politely.

"I'm good, and you?"

"Estoy muy bien, gracias!"

Twilight was clearly dumbfounded at this point, "Wait, you can understand her?"

Spike looked at Twilight like she had two horns, "Can't you?"

"No! All morning long, Pinkie has been speaking some crazy language and it's driving me crazy!"

"Twilight, she's fine. Can't you see?"

"No!" Twilight shouted, "I can't see!"

"Espera, por lo que es ciego? Yo no sabía que llevabas contactos!" Pinkie said.

"No, Pinkie, she doesn't wear contacts. She just doesn't think you're fine." Spike told her.

"Yo estoy bien, veo?" Pinkie made crazy faces and started spitting confetti out of her mouth.

"See Twilight? She's fine." Spike said. "You should probably go back to sleep, Twi. You look a little-"

"NO! I am going to prove to you that I am not going crazy," Twilight said, opening the door. "Just watch me!"


About a half hour later, Twilight came back with the other girls, forcing them to sit down in their seats. The girls were clearly confused on why Twilight brought them there in the first place. She never said anything, just told them to follow her back to the castle. During all the confusion, Twilight broke the silence.

"Alright, you guys. I need your help. All morning long, Pinkie has been speaking some language that isn't even Equestrian! Spike thinks I'm going crazy, but I am not crazy!" Twilight's eye twitched and one of her pupils were smaller than the other. "So I need you to prove that I am not crazy!"

"Twilight, are you sure? I mean, Pinkie is Pinkie after all. Maybe you do need to rest." Rarity requested.

"No! Pinkie, please speak!" Twilight demanded.

"Hola chicas, ¿Quieres saber cuánto tiempo puedo aguantar la respiración bajo el agua?!" Pinkie asked, excitedly.

The girls looked at Pinkie with confused looks on their faces, then turned back to Twilight.

"I don't get it." Rainbow Dash said.

"Thank you! Finally, I proved my point! Pinkie Pie-"

"...is completely fine!" Rainbow looked back at Pinkie, "How long?"

"45 minutos!" Pinkie exclaimed.

With a chorus of "oohs" and "ahhs", Twilight looked at all of her friends, really confused.

"Wait, YOU can understand her, too?" Twilight asked.

"Twilight, we all understand her," Applejack said. "She's fine."

"No, she's not! She's speaking...what are you speaking?"

"Español!" Pinkie replied.

"Spanish." Fluttershy translated.

"Spanish? You mean the language that most ponies speak down in South Equestria?" Twilight asked.

"Yes, it's Pinkie's native language. She's from Marezil! How exotic!"

"But I-I thought she grew up on a rock farm!"

"Well yeah, but those aren't her biological parents. She was in an orphanage, and she dug 1,000 holes to get here." Rainbow explained.

"How come I didn't know any of this?"

"Because this was before you moved to Ponyville. She wears a collar that translate everything she says! Guess she forgot it at home."

"Why didn't I know that? And why didn't you guys tell me any of this?"

"We didn't want you to freak out, that's all." Rarity said.

"That didn't work much, did it?" AJ chuckled.

"But that still doesn't explain how all of you understand her..."

"A couple years ago, Ponyville decided to have their citizens speak Spanish for a year!"

"I'm surprised we still understand Spanish in the first place. I totally forgot about the language until now!" Fluttershy smiled.

"Wait, but doesn't explain how Spike understands Spanish." Twilight turned to the dragon in question.

"Remember the time I left town for a few weeks, when we were living in Canterlot?"

Twilight nodded.

"Yeah, I jumped the border and went to Marezil! I needed a break from all that noise your mom and dad kept making at night. I couldn't sleep."

Twilight stared at Spike blankly until she realized what he was talking about and blushed a bright crimson, with everypony else doing the same. Spike looked at all of them, clearly befuddled.

"What? What is it?"

Pinkie giggled, "Spike, ¿sabes lo que es el sexo?"


In the elegant city of Canterlot, there was a castle. Princess Celestia sat in that castle, with a telescope and a speaker right next to her. She seemed to be laughing at something. Luna looked up from her book as her eyes landed on her laughing older sister.

"Tia, what's so funny?"

Celestia turned away from the telescope, stiffing giggles while trying to speak.

"Pfffttt...hehe...Pinkie is about to explain to Spike...haha...what s-sex is!"

Author's Note:

I originally got this idea from when Cheese Sandwich came to town. I remember Pinkie was singing in Spanish on a giant pinata, so I thought: Spanish in Equestria?
Then I realized Pinkie was being Pinkie, despite knowing a different language than everypony else. I'm surprised no one made a story about this yet. And if you did, I'm sorry I didn't know about this before. It's my first time on FIMfic, so I haven't read a lot of stories here.

So, what did you think? Comment, like, and suggestions on how to get better.

I'll post what she said in the comments.

"Tengo un día emocionante planeado con anticipación para nosotros!"

I have an excited day planned ahead for us!

"Me dijo: Tengo un día emocionante planeado con anticipación para nosotros!"

I said: ...

Caray, ¿cuántas veces tengo que decir que nos vamos a tener diversión hoy?

Geez, how many times I have to say we're going to have fun today?

¿Por qué hablas de ti mismo?

Why are you talking to yourself?

"Espera, por lo que es ciego? Yo no sabía que llevabas contactos!"

Wait, you're blind? I didn't know you wore contacts!

"Yo estoy bien, veo?"

I'm fine, see?

"Hola chicas, ¿Quieres saber cuánto tiempo puedo aguantar la respiración bajo el agua?!"

Hey girls, you wanna know how long I can hold my breath underwater?!

"45 minutos!"

45 minutes

Spike, ¿sabes lo que es el sexo?

Spike, do you know what sex is?

There were other Spanish words and terms, but they are the basics that at least most of you should know. :pinkiehappy:

Eh, Pinkie is talking too formal in spanish and "Me dijo" means "S/he told me" not "I said."

Oh, sorry. I don't really speak Spanish, I used Google Translate. Clearly, it made a mistake. :ajbemused: I will fix it.
I can't really do anything about Pinkie's Spanish formality...that's how everything came out. :ajsleepy:

You, madam, have made something great. :eeyup:

4821347 so if you want a little help with the spanish expresion i can help

Caray, ¿cuántas veces tengo que decir que nos vamos a tener diversión hoy?

or ¿Cuantas veces debo decirte que hoy nos vamos a divertir?

¿Por qué hablas de ti mismo?

this mmm... ¿Por qué hablas contigo misma?

"Espera, por lo que es ciego? Yo no sabía que llevabas contactos!"

Espera, eres ciega? No sabia que usaras contactos!

"Yo estoy bien, veo?"

Yo estoy bien,¿vez?

"Hola chicas, ¿Quieres saber cuánto tiempo puedo aguantar la respiración bajo el agua?!"

i hope that is could be useful, some of them are not literally put in

... and that's it well if someone put somethink like this before me this could be very awkward :twilightblush:

good story BTW :rainbowdetermined2: :pinkiehappy:

4821632
Dude, this story is funny but the google spanish is way too distracting for hispanic readers. I can help with more in date spanish if you want.

I loved it! :pinkiesmile: There were some mistakes with the Spanish translation, but even I, as a native speaker, have problems with grammar and all that hard stuff.

She was in an orphanage, and she dug 1,000 holes to get here."

Friendship is Witchcraft
Nice:rainbowlaugh:

Iba a ofrecerte mi ayuda pero parece que ya tienes voluntarios para eso. Nice try anyway :ajsmug:

I know this is probably my fault, but I don't get it. Equestrian isn't English, either. I read this and think of those YouTube splices of foreign dubs of MLP, and the premise crumbles for me.

On the other hand, other people seem to have enjoyed it, so I'm not going to downrate it just because I don't get why it's funny.

Never trust Google Translate. The gender and number are hardly ever correct, and sometimes a negation "no" is added for no reason.

There are plenty of Spanish speakers here, you should have asked for our help. :twilightsmile:

4821699 You sound like my Mom whenever I mess up speaking Spanish... Except there's much more yelling.

"Yes, it's Pinkie's native language. She's from Marezil! How exotic!"

So why is she speaking Spanish? Because if she's from Marezil, her native language would be Portugese...

4825701

spanish, portugese same diff :trollestia:

I got a lot of laughs out of this, well done. :rainbowlaugh: :pinkiehappy:

You should see my face right now

Oh my goodness!!!!! You did SOOO well for your first time!!!

"Caray, ¿cuántas veces tengo que decir que nos vamos a tener diversión hoy?"

Vamos a divertirnos, you mean.

"Espera, por lo que es ciego? Yo no sabía que llevabas contactos!" Pinkie said.

You mean, "estas ciega"

"Yo estoy bien, veo?"

bien, ves?

singing in Spanish on a giant pinata

Now that's something you don't hear every day.

Estuvo muy bien el capitulo, me diverti mucho.
Translation...
The chapter was great, I had fun.:raritywink:

hey DB,

don't worry. I don't speak Spanish either. I tend to use BABELFISH for help.
anyhoo, very well done and it's nice to hear our little Equestrians exercise
their foreign language skills. wonderful change of pace and interesting twist
on Pinkie being adopted.

You, madam, deserve the tier 2 favorites bookshelf. In you go.

pppft... loved the ending!!!

Pinkie speaking Spanish has always been funny to me. This was a bit random, but not too much so.

Era interesante.No era lo que estaba buscando pero era un buen forma de pasar el tiempo.

NOPONY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION

Applejack is a farmer, which means she probably has gardens too...




Is AJ a Mare-xican?:moustache:

But... But... If Marezil is Brazil for us... she should be talking in Pontuguese.. really from all the countries in South America/ South Equestria, you had to pick the one that doesn't speak spanish? xD

If she's from Marezil, which I assume is the Equestrian equivalent to Brazil, she should be speaking Portuguese. Not Spanish. Nevertheless, funny story.

OMNI:While that is true,that is only because there is no such thing.
