UstedPorno.com

Spanish...translates to: "You Porn".com

Also:

PornoUsted.com ("Porn You".com)

Interesting article here about Spanish domains:

Thanks....

First of all, this should be in the adult section.

Second, "you" in Spanish has two forms, the most popular being the informal "[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]tú".
"Usted" is used as a formal form of addressing a senior, a person of importance, God, etc.

So, it makes no sense addressing someone formally and tagging the word "porn" next to it. Unless you're trying to make up something along the lines of "youtube". But the English play on words fails completely in the Spanish version. So I don't see any value in this name.

On the other hand, "your" in Spanish is "su", so "SuPorno.com" would make sense. It seems only the .com is taken, so you might want to take a stab at the other TLD's.

Sorry about the wrong section. Maybe a Mod will move it.

But I did ask a Hispanic friend who is from Mexico and he told me that "Usted" does make more sense on this domain in his opinion. He said "su" is more like him or his ...etc...Of course "Tu" would be the best choice, but thats all taken. Now I don't know about the other Spanish speaking countries...

It doesn't make more sense, sorry.

Usted is almost like thou (that's the equivalent that I could come up with). It's a formal way to address someone, and doesn't make sense at all. UstedPorno is about as grammatically correct as ThouPorn. It doesn't sound good, and it doesn't really work.

In most cases its better to avoid word combinations in a foreign language that you don't know that well.

Jonathan is spot on.
