To form the conjugation of "voseo", you should better use it's origin which is the 2nd of plural minus the "i". It came from the formal treatment of "Vos" (equivalent and ancient as "thou"), which I don't know why, rolled down to the informal register. Another difference is the second of plural that in Spain would be "vosotros" and in Americas is "Ustedes" and it conjugates like the 3rd of plural (Ellos/Ellas).
@NuisanceMan Жыл бұрын
@@lysandroabelcher2592 Actually, "thou" in English was the informal or familiar form, like "tu." It's even distantly cognate to "tu." It faded from English in much the same way that "tu" did from Rioplatense, so now we all use "you" all the time, which was originally the plural and later either plural or formal singular.

I first started learning Spanish on my own, I was looking for an online chat to practice and stumbled upon some group chat of La Plata, Argentina. So I was learning Rioplatense Spanish, but I didn't know that. Later I took a Spanish course at the university and I was baffled why the teacher couldn't understand me, how come she didn't know some of the words I was using and why did she pronounce llegar like "yegar" and not "shegar". :))) So I started speaking castellano in class, but the rioplatense has always been closest to my heart.

Oh no! I'm always happy to help people with their spanish pronunciation, but I do tell them in advance that my pronunciation can only be applied to Argentina and Uruguay, and I even ask if they want to hear a more "neutral" pronunciation, some ask for both examples which make me really happy, some just for the rioplatense (ig because they want to be respectful), and some others are honest and just ask for the neutral one without caring for the rioplatense..

I'm German and I learned Spanish for a few months in a language school in Buenos Aires, Argentina some 15 years ago. I understand Rioplatense MUCH better than "mainland castellano", as it's being spoken in Spain. Also, I find the grammar easier to learn due to the "voseo": Here, second person singular is always the infinitive form with the -r replaced by an -s in the end of the word with the last syllable always stressed. Plus, in Rioplatense, you commonly use only one form of past tense: The pretérito indefinido. In my experience, there is no need to use the pretérito perfecto at all. The real crazy thing about Spanish are the regional dialects and most importantly: Words, which can have a completely different meaning, depending on your region. One prime example is the word "cojer", which means "to fetch" in regular Spanish, however, in Argentina it means "to f*ck". There are endless examples like that in the Spanish language.
@mep6302 Жыл бұрын
I'm from Argentina and thinking there's no need to use pretérito perfecto is very wrong and silly. Many Argentinians use it, including myself. It really shows you've only been to Buenos Aires and nowhere else. Besides, it's used everywhere outside of Argentina as well.

I'm brazilian, and due to my admiration for Argentina I decided to take "porteño" as my variant of Spanish. I speak it quite well, and it sounds so different that I can hide my non native speaker accent behind it: when I talk to Spanish native speakers they commonly think I come from Argentina or Uruguay. Except for people from these countries ... they identify me immediately as a non Spanish native speaker ... and sometimes they even have no doubt I'm brazilian!
@mep6302 Жыл бұрын
I think it's because of your intonation or sometimes pronunciation. I've met some Brazilians and when I think they're from here then I listen to their intonation much more clearly and I realize "I think this person is Brazilian" Other times it's because they nasalize vowels + n or m. That's a good indicator of a Brazilian speaking Spanish.

Tip for you: Brazilians are immediately recognizable because they have very obvious nasal vowels. If you can hide that, you will make a much more credible "native spanish".

Muy buen video! Me gustaría aclarar que si bien la palabra "boludo/a" puede tener varios significados y el expresado en el video es válido, el origen que le dio mas popularidad en su uso es bastante distinto. Tanto "boludo" como "pelotudo" tienen sus raíces en las guerras por la independencia de España. En la formación de combate, los gauchos se organizaban en tres filas. La primera estaba compuesta por los "pelotudos", quienes llevaban pelotas de piedra atadas con un lazo. La segunda fila la conformaban los "lanceros", armados con facones y lanzas, y la tercera fila estaba integrada por los "boludos", que utilizaban boleadoras o bolas. Estos gauchos se encontraban en desventaja, ya que los españoles tenían armas de fuego, artillería y corazas. En 1890, un diputado de la Nación utilizó el término "pelotudo" de manera despectiva para referirse a aquellos que se exponían al frente de batalla sin sentido. Con el tiempo, esta forma de utilizar el término se popularizó y "boludo" se convirtió en un sinónimo. Saludos

As a native Spanish speaker. The problem between varieties is exactly what the Spanish person told you, the slang. Many Latin American countries use the same common Spanish words as slang, but with completely different meaning, so communication might be difficult between speakers of different varieties unless they are aware of the slang of the other, or if they both drop the slang completely. One example is when I helped a person from Chile in something and told me “¡Eres un seco!”. in México that can be understood as an impolite person or someone who’s limiting the communication to the minimum, maybe due to not liking the other person. In Chile that means you’re really good at something. So I thought this person was insulting me, when in reality I was being praised.

To me as a Puerto Rican, I was exposed to Rioplatense Spanish through old television programs from Argentina, which by now are rather scarce in local television (of course, now there are live feeds from Argentinean media everywhere). To us, if was like a dialect of Italian, with a lot of roller coaster intonations, the peculiar verb conjugations that require some mental gymnastics to get used to, and the occasional slang, verres and lunfardo words thrown in for spice. With time, the strong yeismo from Buenos Aires and Montevideo have softened quite a bit, along with the dramatic neo-Italian swag… it is a bit less peculiar, and has become easier to understand to us who live far from that area.

Speaking about verbs, you could add that we don't use "vosotros" (the second plural) but "ustedes" with the form of the verb of the third plural: "ustedes son" . The third plural also uses that form: "ellos/ellas son". When I was a child we were told at school that we spoke a bad spanish because the correct one was the one spoken in Spain. Fortunately times have changed and now we can respect and be proud of our own way of speaking.

I'm Brazilian and I've been to Argentina many times in my life. I love the country and its people. Today I speak Spanish fluently with Argentinian accent, and I must change it every time I talk to other Spanish speakers. From my very first impression I noticed that there are much more similarities between Brazilian Portuguese and Rioplatense than I could imagine. For instance there are many words in Brazilian Portuguese that came from Lunfardo ("mina", "bandear", "engrupir", "afanar", "bronca", "mina", etc.), there's "che" in South Brazil too, "vos" is very similar to "você" that came from ancient "vosmecê", the sound of Portuguese /j/ in /ll/ and /y/, and the intonation.

When this video popped up, I was so happy because the past 2 years I've been spending a month each year with a group of Argentinians here in Mumbai, and I looooooove the accent. They make fun of my using vosotros and its conjugations, but I've learned to sprinkle vos and ustedes here and there (as well as using gender neutral terms like amigues for example). I found it a little difficult in the beginning to understand, but with the amount of exposure I am pretty comfortable with it now.

As a native Rioplatense speaker, I have to say that yes, people have a lot of trouble understanding me if I speak normally. I have to "neutralise" my speech because the amount of slang words that we use on a regular basis is pretty high. Also, take into account that even formal speech changes. "Dígame" (tell me) changes to "Digamé". The problem is that when speaking casually some of us not even pronounce the first syllable of verbs, as the strongest one is always at the end. "Escucha" changes to "Cuchá". The worst for other spanish speakers is lower class rioplatense, what you showed is the base, what came from Italy and France, but later a lot of slang developed ON TOP

And the reason for that its that we (me as an argentian too) make up words constantly. We are never satisfy with words and keep inventing them in the moment. And a lot of them become popular and are added to the repertoire, all over the country. Of course the tv and memes also do their job. So the languaje is always evolving.

I would agree that most issues with other spanish speakers understanding spanish from the Río de la Plata comes mostly from specific regional vocabulary and slang. Even between Argentina and Uruguay we have those situations sometimes. For example when we call buses "Ómnibus" in Uruguay and they call them "Colectivo" in Argentina. Or "Championes" vs "Zapatillas", "Bizcochos" vs "Facturas", etc.

Also, to my mind, there are slight differences between people on how we pronounce some words, but it's just the way we speak.

Fun fact about the words boludo/pelotudo: those were the name given to gauchos who fought in regional wars, they were called like that because they were front-liners carrying "bolas" and "pelotas", a very characteristics gaucho item. Of course, they belonged to various marginalized groups such as being mixed with indigenous and black descent, so they were the first ones to d*e during combat. Gauchos were not wanted groups in Argentine society at the time, no one really cared about them, no one knew where the came from and they were rejected either by high or average argentine society or indigenous congregations.

Ive been in latin america for 7 months, moving from Argentina (actually I started in Uruguay) up to colombia. In ecuador i was in a hostel watching my friend with generally much better Spanish than me (both being non native speakers) check in. He's been traveling from colombia, going south so kinda the reverse of me. The hostel's receptionist was from Argentina originally, and even though my friend was way better in daily use and conversation than me he was totally thrown off when the receptionist was asking for his apellido, because of the sh sound. I got a rare moment to be the knowledgeable one and explain to him what the receptionist was asking. To me its not really better or worse to hear Argentinian pronunciation cause I started really learning with it, and I spent a plurality of my time with the language in rioplatense regions. But it also was really easy to switch to tuteo when I first left argentina (to bolivia) and later when I ended up circling back into Argentina it was easy to get back into it. Most people in chile weren't that difficult to understand, but every once and a while I'd encounter someone who really layed on the famous Chileno accent. Overall the hardest accent has probably been some old guys in Paraguay, which was really worth going to to hear and try to get used to.

It’s used a lot and, as someone from Buenos Aires, I find it really hard to find alternatives when talking to someone who speaks a different variety of Spanish 😂 Some examples are: Estuvo re rica la comida = the food was really good. “Che, querés ir a comer mañana?” “¡Sí, re!” = “Hey, do you wanna grab dinner tomorrow?” “Yeah, totally!” Nos re cagó el profesor, nos dio una banda de tarea = Our teacher really did us dirty, he gave us a ton of homework

I agree with what you say, it's very true, and I hate to be the Grammar police. But in spanish when combining a word with a prefix there are no spaces in between («re» being a prefix), it should be: «¡Sí, re!» and «Nos recagó el profe, nos dio una banda de deberes». At least in Uruguay «deberes» is used instead of «tarea».

It’s not the same use of the prefix “re” meaning the reiteration of something (which, in that case, is not written separately, as you said).

As a native Spanish speaker who uses mostly “vos” I really liked the way you taught how to conjugate verbs for “vos”, it’s way simpler than the way I knew, which is: use the same conjugation from “vosotros” and for the last syllable, remove the second vowel. For instance: estáis -> estás, coméis-> comés, bebéis-> bebés. This one does work to explain some Chilean conjugations, but instead of removing the second vowel, you remove the final s. Estáis-> estai, coméis-> comei, bebéis -> comei.

As a Colombian, I don't have problems understanding the pronunciation. The "y, ll" pronunciation is a quirk you get over quickly, the aspirated S is featured in many Latinamerican dialects (here in Colombia it happens in Costeño and Vallecaucano, for example) and the voseo is a also a feature of Paisa Spanish. What might be a little challenge is the slang, but thanks to music and the Internet, we get exposed to it and words like "mina, guita, laburo" are widely understood by the rest of Latin America.

At first the voseo, although I was familiar with it, still seemed foreign and I found that I resisted using it myself. It was clear in any case that I was an outsider. I also think people avoided using a lot of slang in addressing me as an outsider. All told, the people were fantastic: warm, welcoming, very laid back. I imagine one would get used to this dialect of Spanish over time. Thanks, Paul, for another great video.

Rioplatense ended up being the dialect I learned to speak. Two really useful additional notes: (1) the "vos" conjugation is really easy if you remember that it's the same as "vosotros" but you drop the "i" (e.g., sois a sos, pensaís a pensás), (2) most people I knew said "castellano" instead of "español", and I had to train myself not to use the former when talking to other Spanish speakers.

"Castellano" and "español" mean one and the same thing. There are many people having arguments online (and offline) because they think one of the two terms means Peninsular Spanish. The thing is that the Spanish everyone speaks in América is the variety used in Spain for unifying different kingdoms: castellano. And around the same time, the one brought to América with the "conquest". I believe in both Argentina and Uruguay (I can only speak for Uruguay) this fact is taught in formal education, even though some people then still confuse the meanings.

For a brazilian I think rioplatense is the easiest spanish accent, because some words sound amazingly similar to portuguese. For example, the spanish word for rain, "lluvia" is pronounced almost like the portuguese word for rain, "chuva". The voseo also is similar to the ancient portuguese way to speak "vós", that nowadays became "você" in the brazilian portuguese. In fact I suspect that these similarities are not just coincidences, but maybe the way to speak spanish in Argentina and Uruguay was influenced by the contact with the brazilian portuguese, mainly during the Paraguay War, when argentinians, uruguayans and brazilians fought on the same side

@@elfelon9465 I already noticed that. I am not an expert on the subject, but I read somewhere that the reason is that are some sounds in portuguese that don't exist in spanish, like the "ão", for example (coração, joão, pão, etc). On the other hand, for brazilians is much easier to understand spanish, if it is spoken slowly. That gives the ilusion for some brazilians that they can speak spanish without studying it, which is not true. Most of times they will use words that don't exist in spanish or similar words with different meanings (false friends), speaking in fact a language known as "portuñol"

Just finished watching the video! The only correction I would make as a "rioplatense" (that word is correct but it's so formal, we almost never use it haha) is that "jermu" doesn't literally mean "mujer", but it's often used as a reference to one's wife. Example used in a sentence: "Me voy a casa porque si no mi jermu me mata" (I better go home before my wife kills me). It's not commonly used in women in general. We use "mina" for that purpose, also mentioned in this video. Other than that, this video was VERY educational about my own native language, so I'm really thankful that you're sharing this information with people around the world! You really go deep in your research!!! From my point of view, our spanish is kinda dirty and messy. I speak fast and often forget that our slang is a little bit weird, so I'd say yes, people from other spanish speaking countries some times have a hard time to understand what I'm saying. My favorite spanish accents are colombian and venezuelan. Loved the video!!! Thank you for creating this kind of content!!!

Couple things: as an albeit amateur speaker of both Spanish (I’m half Mexican) and Italian (wife is half Italian), it stood out right away that “Che” is from Italian literally meaning “what”. Even in American English in some areas I’ve heard people great each other just by saying “wuuuut”. Secondly I wanted to add as someone who isn’t fluent in Spanish, but the Spanish I learned was of the northern Mexican variety: I do get confused at times listening to Argentinian Spanish the same as Puerto Rican Spanish where the “S’s” commonly take a soft, “H”, or unspoken sound. It can change the meaning of a word when strung together with other words speaking fast. Context usually can help fill the gaps but to make sense but it takes more work when I’m already not fluent.

I don’t think people in other countries have a hard time understanding me when I speak rioplatense Spanish, but there are definitely some words that they always ask me about, so I usually change my vocabulary when I’m outside of Argentina/Uruguay. I try to use more neutral words like “bus, maíz, piscina, estufa” instead of “colectivo, choclo, pileta, cocina” and I normally use “tú” instead of “vos” unless I know the person well and they know how I normally talk. I think rioplatense Spanish is easier to learn than other dialects, like how much simpler the voseo conjugations are than tuteo, which has so many irregulars. If you learn some specific vocabulary (copado, che, boludo, bombilla, colectivo, etc.), it’s actually a pretty easy accent.

Amazing video as always! As an Argentinian native speaker, what happens a lot is that we have to clarify the meaning of some slang, even more, not necessarily slang but words which we use with a different meaning. Great understanding of the uses of "mal", it's a very interesting topic related to grammaticalization (same with "alto"). I made some work about "mal" and it turns out there are at least 3 uses besides "wrong", and there are chronolectal variations too. For example, the second use you mention leads to some older people to consider agrammatical some sentences which young people undoubtedly consider grammatical. Great video!

I was born in Chile but moved to Argentina at a young age. While my whole family is Chilean, my unadulterated everyday Spanish is definitively Argentinian, but I can modulate my Spanish when talking to family members or friends from Chile. For the last 8 years, I've been living in Europe and have had plenty of opportunities to gauge the intelligibility of both varieties of Spanish for Spaniards and Spanish L2 speakers. Chilean spoken informally is definitively the one that's harder to understand for both Spanish native speakers and L2 speakers. Argentinian has the advantage of relatively high exposure among other Spanish speakers. There are many reasons for this (large diaspora, popular tv series, internet etc.). I think this is also the reason why you encounter many Spanish speakers with an opinion on Argentinian Spanish.

I loved how accurate this video was and how including you were by adding Uruguay in the headline. As a Uruguayan, I believe that speaking Rioplatense Spanish covers much more grammar than standard Spanish as you don't only learn the "tú" conjugations but also the "vos" and that expands your grammar so much more. Fun fact, even we Argentinians and Uruguayans have trouble understanding certain vocab that it's said so differently in each country. For example, the famous Rioplatense pastry "Bizcochos" in Uruguay are called "Facturas" in Argentina, which funny enough facturas also mean bills

Also, we don't use "pileta" for "swimming pools". Even in Rioplatense Spanish there are differences between Argentinian and Uruguayan Spanish. But, of course, we're more similar than different.

The only time I had that problem is when a tourist asked me at work if I had "cinta scotch" instead of "cinta adhesiva" (adhesive tape) and my mind went blank, so I told them no.

It is also very typical the use of "Che", but for those not very aware of "our" spanish, is NEVER use with people you are not familiar, and even less (this is rude) by the expression "Che, boludo" (those two words are very comonly used between people that are FAMILIAR with each other).
