Monday
in Mexico was a holiday to commemorate the birth of Benito Juarez, president of
Mexico in the 19th century and lawyer.
These
are 5 minutes of Spanish, are we going to talk about history?
No,
that would not be good judgment, I only commented on Juarez because today we
are going to talk about the pronunciation of words with J, such as judgment.
Yes,
the pronunciation of the J has a sound that does not exist in English: Japón,
Javier, juego.
It is
also the pronunciation of u as in music or hula. That's why in this podcast
number 143 we talk about the word trial.
Juicio - judgment, trial
Juzgar
- to judge
Abogado
defensor - defense attorney
Fiscal
- prosecutor
The
word “juicio” can have different meanings, depending on the context in which it
is used. In general, it refers to an assessment of a situation or person. What
are the most common uses of the word “juicio”?
First,
it is used for the process of making a decision and rendering a verdict.
For
example, El Pais journal last month said:
The
Secretary of Public Security during the Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderon
administrations was found guilty of five charges in the highest-profile trial
against a former Mexican official in the U.S.
This
word is also used when referring to a person.
For
example, a reasonable and discerning person has good judgment.
What
if he loses the “juicio” (trial, temper, mind)?
Well,
you can lose a legal trial and have to pay the costs of the trial?
Or you
can be crazy and that means losing the mind. Not my case, of course.
And
with respect to other people?
You
can have a good or bad judgment of another person and those are going to be
influenced by a lot of circumstances.
Maria
has a bad judgment of her classmate because he changed girlfriends many times
and that seems bad to her.
