Show Today’s topic is “How To Say The Names Of The Five Fingers In Spanish.” I am not going to get into a debate about whether or not the thumb is actually a finger or not. But I was browsing through the Net a few days ago and visiting some of the online community sites where people learning Spanish and people learning English like to meet. That’s where I found a question about Spanish vocabulary that someone posted. So I decided to make a blog post on this topic in case this is a Spanish vocabulary question that you also want answered. How To Say The Names of the 5 Fingers in Spanish1. pulgar (dedo gordo) — thumb – And the word “pulgada” means “inch.” So I guess a thumb is called a “pulgar” because a thumb is the size on an inch more or less — or a “pulgar” is the size of a “pulgada” — más o menos.  2. índice — index finger. To remember this one, just think of the Spanish verb “indicar” which means to indicate or to point out. 3. medio — middle finger 4. anular — ring finger 5. meñique — pinky And always remember that “dedo” can mean either “toe” or “finger.” To make it clear — which one you are referring to, just say “dedo de mano” for “finger” and “dedo de pie” for “toe”.
