paint ball
How do you say "paint ball" in Spanish? I'm referring to the game.
Example sentence: I played paint ball last weekend with my brother. Thanks for your help! |

Re: paint ball
I'm from Spain and I usually play paintball. We say it like that, "paintball". We use it also to name the place where you play it, the arena.
Your sentence translated would be: El fin de semana pasado fui al Paintball con mi hermano. Little bit more slanged: El pasado fin de semana eché un Paintball con mi hermano. Cheers!  |

Re: paint ball
Concuerdo, el uso mas commun es paintball en inglés. La palabra en español es muy poco usada e incluso mucha gente puede que no sepa a que te refieres.

Re: paint ball
Has anyone heard of "gocha"? Someone told me that's the way they say "paintball" in Mexico.
Thanks for your help! |

Re: paint ball
Aquí en Venezuela se dice algo como eso, Gotcha, pero no se como se escribe porque parece una palabra en inglés mál pronunciada (Got you)

Re: paint ball
Paintball is also called Gotcha in some English and Spanish speaking countries.

Re: paint ball
Perhaps using Gotcha is a more Latin American thing. In Puerto Rico they use both Gotcha and Paintball. In any case, I think its best not to translate the term since it's so widely used in English. Just make sure to put the word in italics.
