Alpo Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Saying that Spanish is the language they speak in Mexico is like saying that English is the language we speak here in America. They speak English in England. We speak American. It sounds very similar, and it's even close enough that we can generally make ourselves understood. But it's not the same language. I took Spanish in elementary school. They taught us Mexican, which really didn't make sense since this was in Tampa where a whole bunch of Cubans had gone to when Fidel took over. It would have made more sense for them to teach us Cuban. Then when I started going to Puerto Rico in the early 2000s I found out that they don't speak Cuban or Mexican. They also don't speak Spanish. They speak Puerto Rican. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Louse egg. They are very small, and hard to see, so if you are a nitpicker you are concentrating real hard about finding all the little bitty stuff. Ain't you never heard "nits make lice"?

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 On a trip in Spain a few years back, we were touring the Alhambra with a Spanish guide. When it was time to move to another spot, he'd say " Vamonos". Someone in our group said " 'Andale" at the same time. The guide said, "That's not Spanish, it's Mexican." I have two physician friends, one from Colombia and one from Mexico. I've had several conversations with them over the years about various Latin American "Spanishes". They agree that Colombian is pretty pure, Cuban very hard to understand, Argentinian good, and Venezuelan incomprehensible..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 I was requested to make something with chorizo and I figured it’d be nice if I could pronounce it correctly. Most of the Hispanics around here are Puerto Rican or Dominican so I thought I’d ask others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedalia Dave Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Even in Spain there are several regional dialects. Ask a local if they speak Spanish (Espanol) and they'll most likely tell you no. The official language in Spain is Castilian. It is what is taught in most schools and is understood by almost everyone across the country. However there are 4 major regional dialects (Catalan, Galician, Basque, and Aranese) that are the primary language spoken in different parts of the country. Of these Basque is unique in that its roots are not tied to Latin. There are a several more localized dialects but sadly they are being lost as older generations die.

Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Threads of this kind are more beneficial than I'd ever realized.

Turns out I'm like that famous T-shirt ... you know, the one that says "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, I know just enough to get in trouble!" Yup. That's me!

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I've had some reeeally good chorizo. However, most of it in these parts (middle of california) doesn't qualify as really good. Or even good. Or even edible, for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
