seanahan commented on the word pantomima
In English, we have pantomime and mime, the latter describing a funny guy with white face paint who pantomimes. Is there a similar Spanish word, i.e., mima?

frangarnes commented on the word pantomima
Yes, there are:
- mimo (noun) is the word for the person who mimes (a mime). It's the same for men and women; the word mima doesn't exist in Spanish.
- mímica-mímico is like mimic in English.
- mimetizar (verb) is the translation for 'to mime' (the verb). The word imitar has a similar meaning to mimetizar.
- mimar isn't very related to the others words. Mimar (verb) means several things in English: 'to spoil', 'to fuss over' or 'to flatter'.
