A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Estoy es muy triste, porque perdí mi racha de 473 días.
Yes, thanks to Duo, this is exactly my level of Spanish :p
¡Felicidades a nosotros!
Me gustan los memes españoles.
Also just so you guys know meme is pronounced may-may in spanish. Makes me laugh every time I hear one of my friends say it in spanish.
I've never thought about that, but that's hilarious.

It's more like meh-meh, our vowels don't have additional sounds.
For more accurate pronunciation you can think of Spanish vowels as if they had an 'h' at the end.
Ah
Eh
Ih
Oh
Uh
Adding the H to some of these letters wouldn't give the right sound for native english speakers. I would transcribe these vowels using american english like so:
A = ah : rhymes with ma
E = ay : rhymes with hey
I = ee : rhymes with tree
O = oh : rhymes with blow
U = oo : rhymes with shoe
It looks like there might be a slight misunderstanding, "e" is pronounced as the e in "metal", "test", "wrench".
We do not use a different sound for it, and it does not rhyme with hey at all :D

I think the only one that could be tricky would be the "uh" since it could be confused with the interjection "uhhh", but as you mentioned, it is indeed pronounced as "oo".
Perhaps it's just dialectal differences. I live in colombia and what I hear daily is an e sound that rhymes with hey, hay, or may.
First time I hear about that! Haven't talked with my Colombian friends in a while, but regions are indeed getting stronger differences every day although it is mostly with the marked s, c, g, h, j, r sounds, rarely with the vowels.
Anecdotally, I've never met a spanish speaker from any country (Colombia included) that pronounces the "e" as "ey" though, so it's interesting to think how that can happen. For context, tv and people in general use that pronunciation to mock (in a satirical way) English speakers trying to speak Spanish.

Why do y'all anglophones enjoy making language more complicated than it needs to be? Does it bring you joy to provoke suffering to the world?
Nah, it just distracts from the self-loathing.
Nooooooooo!
It's okay... I can take it... How do they pronounce gif?
They pronounce it like: "gif"
I heard a dude pronounce meme 'mee mee' once like 10 years ago, and that created a core memory for me for some reason.
I see my pal, Jon. Olé! Mother’s realistic Toyota
lmao
Norwegian:
"Det er ikke mye, men jeg liker en kuk i ræva"
Loistavaa! Puuttuu vain Hankkija-lippis
Now you're bringing Japanese trucks into this conversation?
Hey something is wrong with my Lemmy. Seems to be stuck in Spanish or something. How do change it back?
Li siento. No hablo Inglés.
One of my favorite stories to tell related to this was when I went to a stadium to do some work and needed a bathroom.
I noticed some people cleaning that looked Spanish, but I don't like to assume people don't know English so I started with "Do you happen to know where the bathroom is?" So they replied "lo siento, no hablo Ingles." Having taken Spanish in highschool I remember like 8 words and switched "donde estas el bano?" And they replied "no Ingles, no Ingles."
...but... I'm speaking your language now... Lol
Spectat sicut Anglis. Possum legere sine ullo negotio.
Thx Spanish classes
I like that my native language is so present in the Fediverse 🥲
Same here. I've been trying to immerse myself in Spanish. My grandparents were from there and they were always disappointed that none of their grandchildren became fluent.
Now I go back once per year as a sort of pilgrimage. Hopefully I'll be able to hold conversations soon.
It's difficult, but I never want to be that American who refuses to make even a token effort to learn the basics of the language when they're travelling abroad.
I feel so cultured.
