Anyone know what "ESPONGA" means?
Someone said it's Italian, but, didn't know the meaning.

Any Italian here?

I really would like to know the meaning because
I registered the esponga.com, .net and .org :)

I googled esponga and result was 116,000.

I just hope it doesn't have any ugly meaning.

Thanks

Actually, NO.
It is Italian and spelling is correct :)

I checked it myself since no one posted on this thread for sometime.
I still don't know the exact meaning of it.
However, it got something to do with "expose" and it is Italian :-)

I still appreciate your input, though.
Now I know "Esponja" is sponge :)

Hi Copper,

I sent you PM, but i also post here.

It comes out from the verb "ESPORRE" that means: "to put out", "to set out", "to expose". But also "to show" and "to exhibit".

Esponga is the imperative mood of the verb ESPORRE.
It is used when we ask someone to show, exhibit, etcetera. It is a polite form that does not exist in the English language.
In English you use "you" both when you are talking with your friends and with people you are not confident with.

In italian we use "TU" (you) for friends, buddies, etc.
And we use "LEI" (you) for people we are not confident with.

ESPONGA is the imperative, used with people you are not confident with.

(If you were confident, you would prefer to use ESPONI).

Hope it may help.

Regards.

Jean
