"El Espíritu Santo."

Translation: The Holy Spirit.

Let me be the first to thank El Espiritu Santo for helping through this course

I love the way Duo correctly used capital letters

[ilovehugs79]

Same :)

Anybody know how to say someone is speaking in tongues?

[jindr004]

Unsurprisingly, since this is a practice originating in the American Pentecostal tradition, it is a word for word translation: Hablar en lenguas.

Por ejemplo: El bautismo con el Espíritu Santo no es únicamente el hablar en lenguas.

I’m quite surprised that nobody has commented on this thread complaining about how they prefer saying “the Holy Ghost.”

[knickknacks12]

Both are perfectly acceptable, though "Holy Spirit" is used more in general conversation.

[sguthrie1]

I suspect that "holy ghost" or "holy spirit" depends on the religious denomination.
I grew up with "holy ghost."

[Ampus_Questor]

So did I. Morphed into 'Holy Spirit' possibly because 'ghost' has connotations of figures in white sheets going 'Wooooo...'

[EpicPowerHero]

The only time I really hear it used that way is in the Doxology.

[deactivated user]

Actually it got the lower case...

Priest and Bible: "The Holy Spirit will help you to speak in many foreign tongues."
Me: gets confirmed
misses ten questions in a row
Me: "¿¡QUE TU QUIERO, ESPIRITU SANTO?!"

I like how her voice got very solemn on this one

[cKf1r]

I heard a male voice.

"The saint spirit:" is it correct English usage? "The Holy Spirit "is the generally accepted term.

[PeterB44]

Hi Safkakar, I don't know if saint spirit is correct English or not, but it is not a term that is used - as far as i know. In England we say either holy ghost or holy spirit, but in church services Spiritus Sanctus is used ( Latin I guess ) which may translate to saint spirit. Hope this helps ????

[ScottBoggs3]

This section is super Christianity-centric.

[omirek]

And that's to be expected, as the same is true for Spanish-speaking countries.

[SuzonOx]

I Usually Avoid using capital letters to work more quickly.
The holy spirit was marked wrong

[Robbymyler]

Technically it is supposed to be capitalized, but I have never know Duolingo to mark it wrong because of it. Check spellings.
