In text language spanish people write "aqf" which stands for ay que fony in spanish. What is the translation of "ay que fony?"

This is a clear example of a Spanglish word. "ay que fony" means "What a funny" or "so funny" It is just an degeneration of the english language into the spanish:Spanglish You might find more words like this, here are a few examples: Guacha= to watch, to observe. Cora= quarter, 25 cents. Chaqueta=jacket. Puchar= to push

You are probably correct I just couldn't believe tht people could murder a language so much through text talk - FELIZ77, Dec 28, 2010
I am from Texas, and there are some places where the official language is "Spanglish", and expressions like this are typically used - neobarba, Dec 28, 2010

'Chaqueta' is not spanglish, it does actually mean 'jacket' in Spanish :P - InésDelRío, Dec 29, 2010
Chaqueta comes from the Frech word 'jaquette' :) - InésDelRío, Dec 29, 2010

Maybe it was Spanglish and they were saying 'Ay, Qué funny'?

"spanglish" is such an abomination that it doesn't deserve capitalization.

ay que would mean Hay que = it is necessary /or you must

eg: Siempre hay que lavar los manos antes de comer

=You must always wash your hands before eating

fony could be street slang/text slang for telephone but I have not been able to find the word in my Spanish Dictionaries: either my huge Oxford Spanish Dictionary or my smaller Collins version

In which case you could say: hay que llamar por telefono su mamá /tus amigos

You should call/phone your mum/or your friends

A final thought: Fony could actually be fone the last 4 letters of telefone

I hope this helps grin

Another good guess. You never really know with spanglish - 005faa61, Dec 28, 2010

ay que = hay que = one must

fony has me baffled, unless it just means "phone", as in "to call on the phone".
