tisu

Question

Hello,

I am curious as to why a Spanish-speaking first grade boy (or two) would point to my daughter and say "tisu." She perceives it as teasing but, given the meaning of the word, I don't understand a negative context.

Any ideas?

Thank you!
Tim

they are sayind something in the grounds of " ur his " it is two words ti and Su ti can mean you su is you or yours " ur his no ur his" like they were arguing who she belonged too.

Thank you for your insight. She asked them what it meant and they told her "tissue" so it wasn't clear what was happening. Thank you, again, very much.

Answer 4

Might be that your daughter had a cold? and they or he was saying, or wanted to say use a tissue.

Answer 5

HI Tim, I cannot think of any negative meaning to tisu...at all. I mean, it would be very unusual to be called tisu, I can't think of any context.
