telling "burrito" to someone in Mexico could be a funny way to mean you work a lot... "trabajas como burrito"

Borro = "dumb"

This term "borro" is used to describe someone who is dumb. It sounds to me as if someone was taking an apportunity to insult you to your face while making fun of you. I would probably avoid this person in the future.

Maybe it is time to take up Spanish so that this person can not have the best of you in the future. Inform yourself here at SpanishDict and get the best of the real "burros" in this world!

Sorry you had a bad experience with this posting. You will find that most of the people here are very helpful and enjoyable. Don't give up on us, and welcome to the forum!

where does it say the poster was called borrito? the poster could just have come across it in a magazine or something - chicasabrosa, FEB 26, 2010

The word burrito literally means "little donkey" in Spanish, coming from burro, which means "donkey".

I think you mean "burrito" as in the food. I that case, "burrito" in Spanish is "burrito" because it is originally a Hispanic food. Such as "taco" and "tortilla", both of which are Spanish words.


I know that you were asking for an English-to-Spanish translation, but, burrito, from Spanish-to-English can refer to the food cheese, a baby donkey (burro=donkey, burrito= little donkey) or stupid/ the not-so-nice phrase: jack-"butt"

"borrito" = "little dummy" "burrito" = the food or "little donkey" - renaerules, FEB 25, 2010

Borro is a real word in Spanish with the meaning of dumb or dolt.

Borrito would mean that someone is a "little dummy". This term has a belittling connotation. With native speakers, it cannot be confused with the general term for donkey because "donkey" is spelled "burro". Therefore the only meaning to "borrito" is "dummy". Look it up in our own dictionary sources and tell me what you think!
