    Default ¿Cómo se traduce "día de los inocentes" al inglés?

    ¡Hola, foreros!

    Hoy, 28 de diciembre, es el día de los inocentes en Argentina (y creo que en todo América Latina también).

    ¿Podrán decirme cuál es el equivalente de esta fecha en inglés y cuándo se festeja?

    ¡Muchas gracias!

    Hi Agustina:

    I think that would be April Fool's Day which is on April 1st in the US.

    But April Fool's is a different celebration, isn't it?

    Apparently, the tradition is spread worldwide.
    But I don't know where it originated. Does anybody know?

    The innocent day or naive day?

    Well, obviously it means Day of the innocents (or naive as Iyuanobi says) but in the US it is April Fool's Day (April 1st); the day that the naive can be made fools of.

    So, it is called the Fool's Day.
    Nowadays, ppl are using more neutral terms such as person with limited resources for the poor and person with limited ability for the handicapped. So, maybe we can take April Fool's Day a step further and make it April Pure Heart's Day? It gives it a touch of divinity. LOL.

    It's an interesting idea, you should have a look a this thread: "What is mansplaining?" We ended up discussing the creation of male/female-specific terminology... But I guess we could include all sorts of categories.
