don't be stupid! -> ¡no seas estúpido!

Welcome to forum smile You can look up words like "stupid" by typing them in the "translate" bar above and get a great translation with examples.

stupida/stupido does mean stupid, but you use tonto/tonta to describe someone as stupid

I think it's a little silly myself when other users tell you to look it up in the dictionary, especially with derogatory terms it is best to ask the Forum. Don't use estúpido/a to say "stupid" if you can avoid it because it carries a stronger connotation, it's more of an insult in Spanish than in English. Try tonto/a, and if you really want to put someone down or piss them off or speak poorly of them use estúpido/a. It's actually more like saying "dumbass", so be careful...

Like most Spanish in the US, the impact doesn't sound as bad as it would in other latino countries due to the influence of English, but it's still an insult - pilipina, Feb 11, 2010
