Funny they say France is Father Christmas but Spain it's Daddy Christmas when they're the same words technically. Maybe they confused Papá with Papí?

Yeah that's an error, he's father Christmas here. On a side note, papi has no accent

[–] Lumisal 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Dang it, I corrected it to the wrong thing.

I never use Papi so I didn't remember if it had one

Papá has one to mark the intonation and to differentiate it from Papa, the pope.

Papi is said with the same intonation as Daddy so it doesn't have an accent.

Papa is also potato in America, but in Spain we use patata

[–] Lumisal 1 points 1 week ago

Yup, but also means pope, so my dad would joke about the potato pope
