Semi-serious question: Would the u in TU have an accent mark like ú? Does it make a difference grammatically?
The reason for the question is my High School Spanish is a bit rusty so I went to Google Translate to figure out "chinga tu maga". I get what the sign is for, but typed the whole phrase into Translate for completion's sake. Going from Spanish to English and using the regular u, as seen on the sign, returned the phrase "fuck you magician". Replacing the u in TU to the accented ú changes the translation to "fuck you, bitch", comma and all. Just triggered a laugh and a small intrest in Spanish grammar.
Tu - your
Tú - you
Why that makes one bitch is beyond me, though. (Maga means female magician)
That's what confused me, too. Thanks for the answer!
