Pennywise
Pennywise is the Spanish name for the evil clown character from the novel and movies titled It.
Is it said differently in some regions?
In Spain, the character is often referred to as Eso el Payaso.
Did you know?
- In Spanish, the word eso used for the character's title is a neuter pronoun, which makes the entity feel more like an abstract object or an undefined force than a person.
- The Spanish word for clown, payaso, also means 'buffoon' or 'fool' when used as an insult, adding a layer of mockery to the character's identity that the English 'clown' does not always carry.
- In certain Latin American marketing materials, the character is called Pennywise el Bailarín. This adds the title of 'the dancer' to his name, a detail that does not exist in the original English version.
Examples in context
- Pennywise es un payaso muy aterrador.Pennywise is a very terrifying clown.
