Hot Wheels
The phrase "hot wheels" in Spanish is Hot Wheels.
The phrase refers to the brand of die-cast toy cars.
Did you know?
- Because Spanish is a phonetic language, some speakers may pronounce the brand as ot uíls, reflecting the natural tendency to avoid starting words with a hard 'h' sound which doesn't exist in Spanish.
- While the brand name is always Hot Wheels, collectors in many Spanish-speaking countries describe the search for rare models as a cacería, which means a literal 'hunt'.
- While the brand name remains Hot Wheels, Spanish speakers often use the generic term carritos to describe them, which literally means 'little cars' using a diminutive that denotes affection or small size.
Examples in context
- Mi hijo quiere un coche de Hot Wheels.My son wants a Hot Wheels car.
