It's helpful if you know the English word quixotic, which is derived from The Man of La Mancha's last name.

it would be. I am not sure though how much it would help now, cause the way I know it is pronounced, is very different as the word quixotic >

I know it to be pronounced as ki - ho - tay. or ki - shot (te) And written as quichote

And quixote is apparently ( looked it up) pronounced as quick -sot

Any chance that you can take Quijote or don Quijote for don Quixote? Quijote is the actual Spanish spelling of the word and how it appears in the original work.

If you order fromage, you should get fromage. Unless the french serve you everything other than what you want.

Technically Air Force One only applies to USAF aircraft, Marine One and Army One are usually helicopters but the only Navy One so far was fixed wing - I don't think there's been a Coast Guard One or Space Force One yet, but they're both possible. US civilian aircraft use Executive One, I have no idea what foreigners would do.

If you just ask for "fromage", that would be entirely justified. You don't go to a wine shop and ask for "a wine", right? Right?

Maybe tuna is the animal and tunafish is what you eat, like cow/beef. Not sure though.
