@@francoisdaureville323 Yeah, but many people don't think it has anything to do with it, which is why I mention it. Even Spaniards have to present themselves as a minority when they go to the U.S., even though our language comes from Latin like French, Portuguese, Romanian, or Italian. In fact, the thumbnail shows quite well when the person in the middle looks Latin American. It’s true that people in the south tend to be a bit darker, but Spaniards, in general, are white, not very different from most actors seen in American films. Obviously, not the pale white seen in Russia. Some think our history changed something, but according to recent studies, there is no significant genetic trace left from the Muslim period; they did not mix

[@migueltomey6705]

Why are the Spanish and the Italians like first cousins? We have many centuries of history in common, so much so that the south of Italy, Naples and Sicily were Spanish territory from 1442 to 1734, that is to say 3 centuries. Milano was also Spanish for more than 100 years. From Milano it left on the SPANISH WAY, which crossed the Alps and reached what is now Holland and Belgium, which was where the War of Flanders was being fought. It was the route used by the Spanish armies to avoid crossing France, an enemy of Spain in those years. Even when the Spaniards got angry, they were a formidable enemy, in fact THE TERCIOS, a military organization, dominated the battlefields around the world, becoming considered the best infantry for more than 2 and a half centuries. An example of this was the LACK OF ROME by the Duke of Alba, when Pope Clement VII sided with the French against Spain, and did not want to pay the Spanish duke for his help in the wars, it was not a good idea in those days. times to make the Spanish soldiers angry. He has been the only army that has sacked the holy city If it were not for that Spanish influence in Italy, the world would not have one of its most famous foods, LA PIZZA, for example, since it was the Spaniards who introduced the tomato to Europe.

Hello I'm from Canary Islands. And yeah, it's quite much populated. More than 2 million people, not counting the "floating population", tourism, which for example in 2018 was 14 million visitors. I live in Tenerife capital city, 200.000 residents. It's not as big as Gran Canaria capital city. But it's nice to live here, I like to see people, but not to feel crowded. Canary islands in general have a subtropical climate, although each island has pretty much its own climate. Western islands tend to be greener, with forests, while eastern ones are more like deserts with some dunes. Many people in Spain say that we have a permanent spring-summer, not hot and not cold, just the perfect amount of each. That video you're commenting is very funny and accurate, I love it. It's true about bars and beer, but interestingly though, we have less drunk people than northern european countries. We go to the bar not to get drunk, but to socialize in family or with friends, eat something light (tapa) while drinking. And also to have coffee, we drink a lot from espresso machines. I can't live without a coffee with milk every day, relaxing in the bar taking a small sun bath. Recharge batteries as we say.

Spain my favorite country in the world 🇪🇦 🧡🧡🧡

[@enowilson]

Canary Islands is a little bit like Hawaii to the States - It's far from the mainland, the weather is great, food is different, people are different, flora and fauna is quite different (and some species are unique in the world). There are good waves (not as great as some Hawaiian spots like Waimea or North Shore) and good surfers, and then some. One of the great things of Spain is you can be at a desert and later in a forest in less than 5 hours drive, cold weather from hot weather in less than 8 hours, 4 different languages, yellow sand beaches, black sand beaches, red sand beaches... And certainly northern Spaniards are different from the rest, mostly southern and eastern parts of mainland Spain. It is a continent in miniature. And a good portion of the world's population speaks Spanish. Spain has some of the best chefs in the world (and one of the best cuisines) like Ferran Adrià, some of the best athletes (Gasol bros., Rafa Nadal, Fernando Alonso)... They didn't mention Julio Iglesias and Rafael (2 of the most known Spanish-speaking crooners in the world), Luis Buñuel, Luis Berlanga and Pedro Almodóvar are some of the most important filmmakers in history, a huge amount of pivotal painters and architects... But also a fair share of corruption and other issues. Spain is great but also a complex country.

[@teno8429]

We, the canarians, are not different from the rest of the spaniards. In fact, we descend from people who came from the other regions of the country ( In my case Galicia and Navarra)

@@teno8429 I disagree. Canarians are not too different from mainland Spaniards but are certainly different indeed. Canarians are more laid back and relaxed than Spaniards, mostly from northern Spain. Because Spain is a country of several nationalities is hard to generalise, but Catalonians are very different from Andalusians, Murcians are very different than Basques and people from Balearic Islands are certainly different than Canarians, even being both people from archipelagos.

I think the best thing about Spain is, like they said at the end of the video, the big amount of cultures you can see in the country. My city (Ceuta, one of the two little autonomic cities in north Africa) is known for having 4 different cultures living together. Parts like Andalucia have a long history of gypsy and arabic culture, other parts like Galicia have celtic roots that are still very present in society. I think, in general, is a country that people don't expect to be so rich when it comes to history and different cultures but it's rich in that. Sometimes even we spanish people get confused by the different things we all share. Great reaction guys!

@@Roque-Cachamuiña-gs1wd No se veían sometidas, producían lo que producían y se ponía en valor para el mundo entero, como los reinos peninsulares....., y el nivel de vida, sobre todo en el Virreinato de Nueva España era mas alto que el de Castilla, por ejemplo. Del mestizaje de Cortés con Doña Marina (Malinche para algunos), nació su hijo Martín Cortés, le dieron el nombre de su abuelo, y aparece en el testamento de Cortés.... El matrimonio mixto se legalizó en 1514, y posteriormente se incentivó mediante cédulas reales de Carlos II, etc. El hecho de que hubiese criollos no dependía de las leyes, sino de gentes que se creían superiores a nivel individual por no mezclarse, pero no confundir esto con las leyes generales para Las Indias. El primer general negro en la América española, se nombró en Cuba. El Santísima Trinidad, buque de guerra mas grande del siglo XVIII, de cuatro puentes y 140 cañones, fue construído en La Habana. La primera expedición seria a Filipinas para adherirla a la Corona Española la componían soldados de etnia Tlascalteca.

@@curropataqui Que pesadez...le llamarán como le llamarán, las posesiones de la corona española en América y en Filipinas seguían lo que más tarde se conoció como regímen colonial. España tampoco le llamó colonia al Sáhara, era una provincia y hasta tenía representantes en Las Cortes...Los británicos nunca llamaron colonia a la India, la denominaban el RAJ, Gobierno de la Corona en la India y hasta reconocieron el status de los Maharajas y el régimen de castas, pero hoy nadie duda que la India era una colonia. Además la consideración del término colonia como algo peyorativo es relativamente reciente, siglo XIX, no hay que olvidar que hasta esa fecha el significado de colonia, se parecía más a lo que por ello entendían fenicios, griegos y romanos, que a lo que ahora entendemos. Una colonia era el asentamiento de unos ciudadanos de un territorio, en otro territorio, pero siguiendo siendo regidos por las leyes del territorio del que provenian, así Cartago fue fundada por colonos fenicios y Siracusa era una colonia de Corintio y nunca para ellos fue un trauma, muy al contrario. Muchas ciudades europeas, incluso Londres, fueron en sus orígenes colonias romanas, es decir asentamientos donde ciudadanos romanos, muchos de ellos legionarios licenciados, se instalaban y se regían por las leyes romanas, pues eran ciudadanos romanos, a diferencia de los habitantes de la provincia donde se encontraba la colonia. Los ingleses en sus primeros asentamientos en América, hicieron algo parecido, ya que allí no había población indígena importante y los habitantes de las colonias inglesas se sublebaron pq consideraban que debía aplicaremos las mismas normas que a los de Inglaterra, desde el pago de impuestos tener representación en el parlamento. La América hispana no tuvo representación en Las Cortes hasta la Constitución de Cádiz de 1812 y entonces ya fue demasiado tarde....

The spanish conquers America with the help of the OTHERS indian tribes. People who do not like the Mexicas (aztecs, mayas) or the incas, so they help as alias. The model of conquer was the ancient greek as Alejandro Magno. Go to the tribes, search for allas and marry the daughters of the allias or conquered chiefs mixing the cultures. A heritager of Montezuma was who created the Guardia Civil (military-police- corp) in Spain. Senators of tribes work in the spanish court in europe. Our first blackman goes to the universiti in the 1570ties. The indians go to the Universities of Spain in America, as normal spanish citizens. Isabel I the catolic, aproves laws of equality of spanish citizens. And yes they where abuse, there have been torture and kills. In those days one ot the goals was to integrate new Cristians to the catolic Church. So they monks, priest, use spanish to learn the anciant indian languages in order to convert them all into cristians. 80% (for real about 70%) of the wealth of American where reinvested in the country. It makes more sense to cultivate new land in America then get in twist and trouble to cultivate things in Europe.

I'm spanish and a proud galician (North-West, over Portugal), and even though I do like the bagpipes, the truth is that when is a festivity (And therefore you don't have to get early to go to work, so you spend the whole night drinking like there' no tomorrow), and it's like 10:00 in the morning, and you're sleeping the hangover of your life, and the bagpipes bands (IN PLURAL) start to sound on the street, you just want to be in another fu**ing place.... They're our identity, but hell they're loud!!!!........

16:54 As a girl who was born and currently lives in the Tenerife, yes, people live here. Also, there aren’t many laurisilva forests, if I’m not wrong there are only two in all the Canary Islands (Anaga and Garajonay) Then we have mountains usually on the western Islands and north of some of the eastern and I could say that almost everything in the eastern Islands are beaches and a weird kind of desserts… (Apart from building and all that stuff)

I am from the Canary Islands, and no, the word "Canary" does not come from dogs (dog in Latin), it comes from the African tribe called "Canarii", which emigrated to the islands.

[@mayvokalia]

Hi I am from Tenerife, Canary Islands are one of the greatest places in the world to have a holiday ( not just beaches but incredible forests, volcano landescapes, historical towns and PEOPLE). But… I live in Catalonia, close to the magnificent mountains Pirineos, where you can ski

Sorry but where the running of the bulls isn´t basque country, is Navarra, in San Fermín. Is noy the same.

The catalan language, and gaelic language are similar to spanish because they have same root, the latin, but the basque language is soooooo diferent than other languages in the world!!!! And is very difficult to understand for people not speakers basque langauage.

To be honest i dont think spanish people are bad at english becouse ofthe latin backgrounds, im roumanian (which is also a latin language) and have been living in spain for more than 20 years and i can say that spanish people are bad at learning languages becouse they dont see the necesity to learn anothers (is my opinion)

[@RiveroTube]

That is one of the reasons. But the 2 main reasons here are: 1. We pronounce words as they are written. 2. We only have 24 phonemes, which means that our repertoire of sounds is much more limited. For comparison, English has 44 phonemes.

EHEY GUYS! SPEAKING OF SPAIN, they just chose their Eurovision entry for this year last night (01/29). I'ts nearly time for oyu to do some Eurovision videos! I'll be waiting!

Si , una elección muy polémica . La ganadora no es la que la votación popular eligió .

[@ZakhadWOW]

@@kabieces Como ya he dicho muchas veces, el publico no fue garantido, IN CUALQUIER SENTIDO, de tener unico derecho de escoger in total.. RTVE debe recibir gracias para dar oportunidad al publico, cuando no ha tenido ningun obligacion [perdoname para pejor gramatica]. ESC usa la misma division di sistemas de votacion, entonces, el publico debe callarse y vivir con resultado. ASI ES LA VIDA.

[@kabieces8573]

@@ZakhadWOW Si no sabes lo que ocurrió , no opines . No ha sido cuestión de que una canción gustará más a unos o a otros . En este caso hubo irregularidades , tanto es así , que es la primera vez que partidos políticos y sindicatos piden explicaciones a RTVE . El jurado debería haber votado sin conocer el voto del público , para no inclinar la balanza y no fue así . Y la vinculación en la producción de la canción ganadora de uno de los jurados , tampoco indica un proceso de votación limpio . Y no , todos los países no tienen el mismo proceso de votación . Resulta bastante sospechoso que el jurado internacional estuviera entusiasmado con la canción de Tanxugueiras y el jurado nacional , con vinculación laboral con RTVE , no lo estuviera . Como yo , la gran mayoría opina que la votación tuvo más que ver con el idioma , como ya ocurrió hace muchos años con Serrat . Y a esto sumale que la canción ganadora no cumple con el porcentaje del idioma . La verdad es que el jurado le ha hecho un favor a las canciones qué quedaron en segundo y tercer lugar , porque son las que se están escuchando por las emisoras de radio y televisión . La canción ganadora no se escucha y a desaparecido entre la polémica .

[@billieeilishfanstck116]

watching this in Spain, to inform you about the dialects, Catalan is like if Spanish and French had a child, Galician is like the mix of Portuguese and Spanish and Basque is like what German is to Europeans.

[@TheAnikeenko]

Catalan is more like if Italy and Spain had a child that tried to learn French but failed

[@billieeilishfanstck116]

As a Spanish and Catalan speaker and French learner, I can confirm that Catalan has nothing to do with Italian although it has some similar words but come normally from Latin.
