In Argentina we compliment another by insulting him/her: "You son of a bi...!" (Que hijo/a de pu...!)

[@BlackHoleSpain]

@@Argentvs Aunque "compliment" en este contexto realmente significa más "hacer un cumplido", "halagar", "alabar" y los españoles creemos que halagar está sobrevalorado. Claudia se ha quedado con la mente en blanco por alguna razón, el subconsciente ahí manda. Justo los latinoamericanos nos llaman fríos porque adornar el lenguaje con halagos y alabanzas, aquí en España no se usa. Digamos que no es una forma de hablar normal que sí podría serlo en Estados Unidos u otras partes.

[@khrisvargas8091]

@@BlackHoleSpain Hola! Soy de Costa Rica y también me quedé en blanco en ese segmento... Considero que decir "felicitaciones" no es halagar a la persona exactamente como "compliment" implica pero creo que se podría usar así. Otro punto, sí existe el estereotipo de que los europeos y todos menos los latinos en general son más "fríos", pero no es por la forma de hablar; sino por el lenguaje corporal y muestras de afecto.

"In America everybody learns a second language", funniest thing I heard today

[@DJSt3rling]

Less than 25% of Americans speak a second language. They're simply exposed to language way too late in school (high school). Also, they're only given a couple of semesters, where which most countries supplement w/ at least 10yrs.

[@infiel20]

Exposed too late? Strange considering many people aquire languages past childhood.

[@E8pachk]

@@infiel20 he is right about time spent studying the language. Someone really proficient in a non native language spends at least 10 years studying it. Most Americans, in my experience, overestimate their proficiency and believe that because they studied it once, they know how to speak it, and can barely say the minimum. Take this video as an example, she says she can speak the basics and all she can say is "Hello, how are you? How much?", like come on, that doesn't even qualify as basic, you can learn that in 10 minutes.

Me ha hecho mucha gracia el vídeo porque han hecho complicado algo que realmente es muy fácil. Las palabras que utilizamos en España son entendidas en Hispanoamérica porque nosotros expandimos nuestra lengua a América. Sin embargo, ellos posteriormente a su independencia (1813-1898) han ido inventando palabras nuevas o incorporando de otros idiomas. Sin embargo, no quiere decir que no sigan utilizando las de España o no nos puedan entender porque prefieran usar muchas veces palabras nuevas a las nuestras.

[@lebrilopejackalope5775]

Sí, pero también depende mucho de las palabras, lógicamente España a lo largo de los años también ha ido incorporando o inventando nuevas palabras o dichos, siguieron modificando el idioma con los años también. Muchas palabras quedaron en desuso siendo reemplazadas por otras nuevas. En algunos casos tenemos las mismas palabras pero les damos significados diferentes, por ejemplo la palabra "coger" no tiene la misma connotación en España que en Argentina. Creo que la globalización y el internet en gran parte hacen posible que podamos intercambiar nuestras diferencias en el habla y que nos podamos entender mejor entre todos los países hispanohablantes.

[@ivanovichdelfin8797]

​@@lebrilopejackalope5775 Sí, cierto, pero por lo que veo en España apenas se han inventado palaras nuevas, asándome en el hecho de que todas las palaras que usan los españoles de España se encuentran usándose con frecuencia en algún que otro país de Hispanoamérica o Guinea Ecuatorial. Si el idioma español hubiese surgido e América y se hubiese expandido a España, habría ocurrido el caso contrario. Esto se debe a razones ambientales y culturales.

I think she just needed to choose her words better. Yes, every American high school requires you to take at least 2 years of foreign language, but bc a lot of people can start it middle school, there's very dismal progress in terms of acquisition

@@ikeacha4153 no every American high school does not require you to take two years of foreign language. Foreign language requirements have been introduced in some states but only 11 states require it for graduation. Do not presume just because your state has introduced this requirement that it is universally required across the country.

@@pjschmid2251 Alright chill out. I stand corrected. Even still, her ultimate point was that the very basics of Spanish have been infused into our culture and I do agree with that. Be it through Dora or pop music like Shakira, Bad Bunny, or Maluma. You have to try pretty hard not to know anything (even if just the curse words🙄😄)

@@ikeacha4153 The reason I’m not chilled out about things like this is that there are too many people out there that believe what they read or hear on the Internet as fact without doing any further investigation. The level of disinformation that floats around these days is disheartening. I think it’s important for everyone to be careful not to add to the cloud of false facts circulating. I personally think the low level of language language education in the United States is a problem. If people believe that "the problem has been solved" it could deter them from taking further action to correct that even if that action is just supporting local legislation aimed at expanding language education.

SPANISH & FILIPINO LANGUAGE ARE QUITE SIMILAR

Not at all... Tagalog is an austronesian language that only got a few words from Spanish after 333 years. On the other side, Chabacano spoken in west Mindanao island by 1.5 million people, is really a whole creole language that any spanish speaker could understand.
