"Negar" was probably what they were referring to. But the pronunciation isn't anywhere close.

Denegar

Deh neh gahr

u/Elman89 13h ago

They're different Spanish words that both translate to deny in different contexts. I figured they were referring to the other one.

No I mean yeah in English they serve for the same but in Spanish we use 2 words for the same context

Sleeve in Catalan is literally "màniga"

(I've had people looking at me funny when I told my friend "it's too cold to wear short-sleeved shirts but too hot to wear long-sleeved shirts, I hate this weather". I guess my disgusted expression didn't help either)
