Discussion Learn the proper use of words before you start yelling them out.
So this is in response to the fan that has been called out for allegedly yelling “Ni hao” at Son after our last game. If you care to go on Facebook, he’s plead his case and seems pretty genuine that he was not saying “ni hao” but rather “mijo”. Mijo meaning what he believed to be Son in Spanish. Close, but not exactly. Son in Spanish is “hijo”. “Mijo” is a contraction of “mi hijo” meaning “my son”.
When you watch the video, you hear what you want to hear. Anyone that is a baseball fan and a Redditor can probably recall the controversy with the Rockies and their mascot. I won’t go into it. Look it up.
Either way, let’s try to understand what the intent was first and please make sure you’re using the right words when you’re speaking a non-native language. If that is his native language, then do better all around.
