zombi
/ˈθombi/ · B1 · noun · mf
zombi
🧟 Same word as English; Spain says it with a lisped z: THOM-bee
Both words come from Haitian Creole zonbi, probably from Kongo nzambi (god) or zumbi (spirit). In Spain the z sounds like English th, so it's THOM-bee. Latin Americans say SOM-bee. It's mf: el zombi or la zombi.
