Pajaroto, amigo de Pocoyo

Question

On the show Pocoyo, one of the characters is a largish bird called Pajaroto. In the English version of the show, this character is called Sleepy Bird.

Is there something about the name Pajaroto that would tell me it refers to a sleepy bird or is the English translation merely contextual (since he does tend to laze about)?

Answer 1

The translation of Pajaroto in reality is "Broken Bird" and the translation of Sleepy Bird to Spanish is "Pajarodormilon" "Pajarosonñoliento" but this sounds horrible.

Sorry for my English again.

Answer 2

Maybe they have changed the bird's name. In the YouTube videos of Pocoyó en Español Neutro (para América Latina), he is called Pájaro Dormilón.

This show is good for easy listening and learning new vocabulary, such as huellas y patinetas (which I learned today).

Answer 3

Could this be related to pajarota ?

pajarota [pah-hah-ro’-tah]

noun

1. A false, idle report, a hoax

I doubt it. Before hearing an English version of the show, I assumed pajaroto meant big or fat bird. - hyrumt, Sep 15, 2011
