Domain hacks

Domain hacks for the .si TLD are quite popular, since ''si'' is second person singular of the verb 'to be' in Slovene and some other Slavic languages. As such, many domains have been created that are using such domain hacks, one of the most popular being ''zadovoljna.si'' ('You are pleased', feminine form). ''Sí'' also translates from Spanish as ''yes,'' so the TLD has been used by some Spanish-language websites. A notable example of this is the Mexican political party MORENA, whose website is found at ''morena.si''. Italian party Sinistra Italiana (abbreviation: SI) also uses Slovenian domain for its website (sinistraitaliana.si).
