Did you know technically Uruguay has 3 co-official flags? What do they mean? And what is that sun thing with the human face on it? And how does JONAS know how to speak Spanish? This any many more questions will be answered in today's FLAG/ FAN DAY!!

[@BurnRoddy]

Hey there Barbs! Thanks a bunch for coming over and needless to say for the video once again! I just wanted to point out once again that Uruguayan Emilio Arenas has Guinness World Record for owning the most pencils and that in 1841 during the Uruguayan Great War a naval battle was won with cheese in what I believe was a one time only event and we also have another republic within Uruguay itself that´s actually a single house called the Republic of Parva Domus Magna Quies which is a wacky mansion for old guys to drink whiskey, tell bad jokes and loaf around.

[@omenaccipio]

Agrego! En las escarapelas que representan los pabellones, la escarapela del Pabellón Nacional (la "bandera de uruguay") puede ser utilizada por cualquier ciudadano uruguayo. Era común usarlas en los días festivos patrios pero se podía usar en todo momento como muestra de orgullo nacional, algo así como los Estadounidenses utilizan su bandera flameando en la puerta de la casa. En cambio, las escarapelas de de los otros dos pabellones, se destinaron específicamente para las fuerzas del orden del Estado. La escarapela de la Bandera de Artigas es usada por las Fuerzas Armadas, visible en las gorras de lo uniformes y como "Escudo" en las unidades Mecanizadas como tanques o transportes blindados de personal. La aeronaves de la Fuerza Aérea directamente tienen pintada la Bandera de Artigas (en vez del Pabellón nacional) en su cola. La escarapela de los Treinta y Tres fue desinada para la Policía Nacional, y se la puede ver en las Gorras de los Uniformes y dependiendo la unidad policial que nos refiriéramos en boinas o birretes.

[@leandrojulian7155]

"Yorugua" is because Argentinians love to change syllables order to play with words. This is known as "metathesis"... It's a characteristic of Lunfardo slang / argot of Spanish from Buenos Aires... So, the actual word is "uruguayo" (Uruguayan), but with the last syllable ("yo") put at the beginning of the word

[@Leo-pt9ei]

i think its also called vesre. Uruguay has the same thing for example instead of saying "afuera" we would sometimes say "Arafue"

thats really cool, wheen did greek get thet motto? i imagine during otoman times... cheers from uruguay.

The same motto is also on the flag of the April Uprising of 1876 in Bulgaria; it seems it was widely used during this period.

❤❤❤😮 Greetings from 🇺🇾🧉👋

[@patricioiasielski8816]

Also, we argentinians refer to uruguayans (mainly in the context of football matches) as Charrúas (from the Charrúas native people); it's not at all a despective term or anything like that. I don't know if uruguayans refer to themselvs as charruas too. And, btw, as a porteño myself although the term "porteño" might be used in a despective manner, it's not despective per se, is similar to "yankee", it might be despective or not, just depends on the context.

[@92oooo]

We do call ourselves charruas. And we use porteños to refer to ALL Argentinians even tho we know it's only for Buenos Aires' people. The rest of Argentinians don't like to be called porteños and that's why we do it.

[@Alfonso162008]

Yes! It means orientals, or easterners. Idk why the hell he decided to translate it to "immortals" (he even uses the correct translation in the main episode). Even if you wanna be poetic with your words, based on the jest they did or whatever, I don't think we've ever used the term "orientales" to mean "immortals".

Yes, definitely update the early countries, at least add in the new segments. Our daughter is adopted from Bulgaria and the food there is AMAZING, and I’m pretty sure it’s mostly farm to table. Also they have wineries, rose oil is huge, but there’s also lavender oil too.

heeey, do not mess with line 76! I always take that bus at the same time every day, and it's not that bad, there's far worse than that, although I agree as a frequent user of line 76, it just sucks from time to time. And for that graffiti you mentioned, I'm sure I have seen pictures of it, but not about 76, rather about line 104 which does a completely different route along Montevideo, and is also infamous for just being late (if you catch the bus that is) Also, that picture of the 76 is quite old. I'm pretty sure it wasn't easy to find a good quality picture of it but just by the paint you can tell its early 2016 or older, why? Because Montevideo today has 4 main bus companies (CUTCSA, COME, UCOT, COETC) but in the past there used to be a 5th, called RAINCOOP. They had line 76 (among others like 2, 14, 21, 71 and 79) but they went bankrupt in June 2016, leaving all lines mentioned just dead, that remained for about a week while the city gov. made a deal with the remaining 4 companies to take all RAINCOOP lines and put them back into service. 76 has been managed by COETC since, and they paint their buses with the colour red, while RAINCOOP used white and blue, which you can see in the picture at 1:27 Anyways, as the graffiti says, la vida pasa, el 104 no.

[@eugeniaantelo7290]

I was a victim of the 104 frequency for almost half of my life. I can confirm that indeed la vida pasa, pero el 104 no.

So tickled to see stuff from San Anto! We lived there for four years. Our daughter still has her flower crown (hers was a Walmart special, hahaha).

If you want fun and wacky, maybe someone needs to send one of those message potatoes to you, lol. Or one of those things that little wound-up butterflies explodes out of! Might have a little trouble tying that to a specific country, though.

I have never ever heard the word "porteño" used as a derogatory term. It is actually the correct way to label the people from the Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires. (And many other cities around the world with important international ports.) I felt it like someone from Newark talking about NYC saying "yeah dude, we make fun of them and call them 'new yorkers'"

[@Alfonso162008]

Yeah, he got that wrong. It's not a derogatory term. Maybe it was at some point in history? I have no idea, but it is just a nickname for the people from Buenos Aires.

[@BurnRoddy]

Its not exactly derogatory or offensive but it is colloquial which I think where Antonio was going.

[@silvvr.]

Porteño se le dice de manera despectiva al estereotipo de argentino agrandado que vive en una burbuja. En el interior del país muchos piensan que esa manera de actuar es exclusiva de la gente de Buenos Aires, por lo que aclaran "los argentinos no somos agrandados, son los porteños", como diferenciando ambos grupos.
