Wow what a good one, that's true.

That's funny to me, because it seems like Spanish barely has a word for "parents" or "grandparents", but yet it has a word for aunt and uncle as a couple. If I'm talking about my two grandfathers, it sounds the same as if I'm talking about my grandfather and grandmother.

That word is not specific, it can also mean a group of uncles and aunts or only a group of uncles.

@@dagman85 in Puerto Rico they say "padres" and "abuelos".

thats true bc i've noticed a lot of people will say either "I'm going to my aunt's house" or "i'm going to my uncle's house" instead of "i'm going to my aunt and uncles house" for the sake of shortening it when in spanish you could just say "Voy a la casa de mis tios"

There are many English words to describe your significant other. "lover", "sweetheart", "partner", "soulmate", and "spouse" off the top of my head. I'm sure there is more.

what about "we're a couple"?

"We're a couple" is as short as you can make it.

@@infinteuniverse, Wrong. There are many ways to make it shorter. "We're dating", or We're courting" for example. As the word "we're" is a contraction as still counts as two words, the example "we're dating" is still 3 words as opposed to 2 words in Spanish, "Somos novios".

​@@aoj-iy9fz, dude, those phrases don't mean anywhere near what "somos novios" means. That's real annoying what you did. "WrOnG.. bLaH bLah. I kNoW EvErYtHiNg." I guarantee you that if you do that in real life, you won't have many friends.

"Tengo ganas" can also mean "I need to go to the bathroom"

thats why we south americans always get so salty about it

I first ran into this "problem" of people from the United States calling themselves "Americans" while doing some graduate work at a university in Texas. I understand the anger and resentment built up in south and central America toward the United States as a result of the US not treating those countries fairly, basically, throughout our history. That said, I find the disdain for the people of the United States calling themselves "Americans" to be somewhat specious. There is no other country in this hemisphere that has ever called themselves Americans, so it is not like "Americans" have appropriated a word that was commonly used as a general description of any other group of people.

@@franktyred9195 I think a lot of the anger comes from the unfair treatment through the years in great part because of the Monroe doctrine, how was/ is interpreted and implemented . The truth is, America is not only for the United States which is the correct name. The phrase Of America can be used for every single country in the North America, Central America and South America. We know the term America comes from Americo Vespucio, the Italian explorer who realized what Columbus "discovered" really was the New World. The lack of a gentilicio for the US citizen is one of the main reason for the liberal use of the word/name America by US citizens. I mean go to Google Translate write down estadounidense and what it is translated to U.S. I don't think this issue is not as you say specious. America and I'm referencing the New World has a painful history and we must start using the name America and its derivatives correctly.

If you were to ask any person from any country in the Americas, who is not American, their nationality or citizenship, do you think they would answer American? No, they would say Argentinian, Mexican, Colombian, etc. Nobody responds with saying they are American, but people with American citizenship. So I do not see the problem.

glenn kane the problem in my opinion is the fact that it’s almost like acting like the people from anywhere in north or South America that isn’t from the US is not American. It’s all America and to say your American to me is rude for people who live in America (south) and can’t say their American because people associate that with a citizen of the United states of America

This one is SO good! It's my favorite thing to teach when asked of something cool in Spanish haha

When you are with your girlfriend or your boyfriend you say TE AMO, When you are with your parents or son ... you say TE QUIERO. But when you want to tell something similar to your friend is better say TE APRECIO. Maybe similar in concept but is better distinguish between wife, blood family and friends.

I've listened that is complicated to undertand to a English speaker.. Do you have a advice to learn English better and faster? I'm studying your language jejejje. Espero te haya ayudado. Ask to your boyfriend explain to you about de Las conjugaciones verbales. In Spanish are there a lot of tiempos verbales, and it means that to a verb there are a lot of formas de escribir: Verb: CAMINAR (to walk). Yo camino. Yo caminaré. Yo caminé. Yo caminaba. Yo estaba caminando. Yo ando caminando. Etc. Note: Frecuently la persona (in my example "YO") is omited because el verbo ya menciona a la persona o sujeto por sí solo. Its the same Yo caminé en el parque. Caminé en el parque. Caminé ya dice el YO. There are a lot of things ti explain.

Ummm "ajeno" works for everything. If it doesn't belongs to you, it's ajeno, for example: a bedroom in your house that's not yours. You teach children to not enter in "dormitorios ajenos" (other's bedrooms) without calling first, even if it's their parent's bedroom or a sibling's one... Also you can't take husband's or daughter's phone without permission, it's ajeno too. That's exactly what "ajeno" means: something that isn't yours.

@@flavihok if you live in your family's house then it's yours, if not, it's ajena too. Of course, the way you act in a "casa ajena" can be different depending on the relationship between you and the owners. A family member, a friend, a neighbor, an unknown person, your boss... You act different in every place but all of them are "ajenos"

Taylor Dugan I’m sorry. Did you just say the differences between European and American Spanish are akin to those between current and 16th century English?? Wtf. Are you okay?

@@Gabriel-hs9mv I simply meant, as I clarified in my comment, that the difference is "HUGE...not that one sounds more out-of-date than the other." A bit of an over-exaggeration, sure, but there is an undeniable learning curve when going from American to European Spanish that reminded me of being a freshman in high school studying Shakespeare. It sounded like complete gibberish at first, but with a little time and dedication I was able to understand it just fine. The same thing happened when I moved to Spain after spending my entire adolescence in the U.S. learning to speak English from primarily Chilean and Mexican professors. The difference was staggering at first...the vocabulary, verb choice, accent, idioms (even from one side of Spain to another) seemed entirely new and were totally dizzying for a time before I got used to things. To answer your question, yep. I've never been better!

Taylor Dugan Yes, I agree it was more than a bit of an exaggeration, or rather an absurd statement. For a number of reasons: even if we were to pretend we can talk about European Spanish, as if it were a homogenous whole, there is no realistic way to do the same for American Spanish. Spanish-speaking countries in America have substantially different varieties of the language themselves, and it is in fact the case that, say, Cuban Spanish, albeit American, resembles Southern Spanish dialects more than anything else. There is no such thing as American Spanish and hence the comparison with its European variant is pointless. Let us then take a country in America. Mexico, if you like. A Mexican and a Spaniard will always be able to understand each other. Always. No gibberish. No nonsense. No nothing. Yes some words do change, but these can be easily clarified, and most educated speakers will be familiar with the other country’s lingo anyway. Your linguistic shock upon arrival in Spain has more to do with you not being a native speaker than with the HUUUUGE differences between the dialects. In summary, I don’t think the abyss you claim exists between European and American Spanish is so, and I am very suspicious of people who try to make it look as such, suspicious all they seek is to separate Spain from the rest of the Spanish-speaking world.

@@Gabriel-hs9mv Forgive my use of the terms "American" and "European" Spanish. I only did so in response to your comment in which you yourself used those terms. I should have stuck by my original descriptions. I'm well aware that Spanish is difficult to define in this way (as you said, many varieties and dialects that depend on the origin of the speaker) and I'm certainly not attempting to separate Spain from the rest of the Spanish-speaking world in any way that they are not already separated: by geography, gastronomy, and certain elements of the Spanish culture that I haven't found in my journeys through North, Central, and South America. I'm inclined to agree that my comment about my experiences does have quite a lot to do with the fact that I'm not a native speaker. I was only speaking for myself, as a non-native speaker with a degree in Spanish language and culture, various travels to Spanish-speaking countries in the Americas, and time spent living in Spain myself (which I personally have found to be rather incomparable with my lifestyle in America) as well as for my colleagues who have expressed the same sentiments. Even after a decade, I know I still have quite a lot to learn. With that said, you're the only person to have taken any issue with my original comment since I posted it more than a month ago, so perhaps there are people out there in similar situations who feel similarly to me. Regardless, I don't need my personal experiences validated. In fact, I forgot all about writing this comment here until now. Perhaps if you re-read my comment through a lens of humor and light-hearted frustration as a non-native speaker who enjoys the hilarity and intrigue of Spanish as a second language, you might understand my use of figurative language (in this case, a hyperbole) a little bit better. Whether you intended for the tone of your comments to be sarcastic and combatant, I don't want to assume one way or another. If that was not your intention, I urge you to rethink your diction a little bit because both felt like attacks on my intellect, which I don't appreciate and to which I won't respond further. However, if that was your intention, you can continue to argue over spilled milk and moot points in the comments on your own. :)

Taylor Dugan oh, not at all. I was merely challenging you so you would explain yourself a bit further, you sounded interested on the topic of discussion, as am I, and I thought I would squeeze for a little more juice on the subject. I am referring to my second comment, my first one remains a crestfallen reaction to your bizarre comparison with Shakespearian English ahahha Apart from that, I see from your last response that we came to concur on everything else. So I am happy to end it here. Have a nice day.

check this out though. lema.rae.es/dpd/srv/search?key=anteayer

Right, so maybe the Mexicans learnt Spanish directly from the Roman Legions(and probably that's why they call themselves "Latinos"). In Spain that "antier" thing is unheard of; and it doesn't even appear in the RAE Dictionary: www.rae.es/search/node/antier BTW; that "ante ayer" you talk about...that's not a thing either, I think you meant "anteayer" or "antes de ayer".

Nigel Bumblefoot dle.rae.es/?id=2rYjC70

U. m. en Am It is therefore a Latin American thing, not Spanish. Tell me a single region of Spain where you could hear someone saying "antier". Your argument is that "antier" "came straight out of Latin"...I'm just curious how could it jump from Rome to Mexico without going through Spain

Tino = Puntería

Maybe it’s because a lot of French was incorporated into English?

France kind of invaded part of today's english territory for a long time. However most of those words can come from Arabic or pre-latin iberic words.

French and Spanish both share words due to Latin.. Howbeit, English is a Germainic language, sharing many things with German and other Germainic rooted languages

The answer is simple. The French Normans invaded England hundreds of years ago when the English language was still developing and incorporated tons of French and Latin words into the English language. You'd think that French would be similar to English since they're both Romance languages but Spanish is like the 3rd closest language to ancient Latin while French is dead last in similarity to Latin.

Portuguese and Spanish are pretty similar... Cuz Spain and Portugal share boundaries and Portugal was part of Spain from 1580 to 1640
