Few nitpicks: Corrientes is just spanish for currents. You said that the pampas region is sparsely populated, and while that's true for the province of La pampa, the rest of the pampas are the most populated parts of the southern cone. They are not sparsely populated, at least relative to population density in south america. Buenos Aires is just named after Nuestra señora del Buen Ayre, a name for the virgin mary. It has nothing to do with good air

[@vvventure]

it is sparsely populated thou, outside of great bsas there are only 2 cities of 1 million in one of the largest plains of the planet and the virgin is named after "good airs" (actually fair winds for sailors cult)

A few notes. 1- "Corrientes" means currents in spanish too. 2- "Córdoba" was founded as "Córdova de la nueva Andalucía". There are two things to notice. A- It seems "B" & "V" were interchangable back then. B- It means "Córdoba from the New Andalucía". It was named after the spanish Córdoba that is in... Andalucía. Old way of naming, nowadays it would be Córdoba 2.0. Anyways, the founder choosed to call it after that place in honor to his wife (she was from there). 3- Argentina is divided in 23 provinces and 1 autonomous city (that's a city that works as a province although it's just a city). Buenos Aires is a province and it's capital city is La Plata (meaning "The Silver"). The capital of the country is also Buenos Aires, oficially Ciudad Autonoma de Buenos Aires (Autonomous City of Buenos Aires) a.k.a. Capital Federal.

[@victorcabanelas]

As far as I know, the spanish Córdoba is actually named after Carthage, so it'd make the one here (I think there's also another one in Colombia) the 3.0.

I’m from Cordoba! I really liked the video, and I wanted to share another interesting name from my country. In my province there’s a town called Salsipuedes, which means “Get out if you can” in Spanish. The most common theory, is that it comes from a native myth. A man kidnaps a women and her husband starts chasing him. They start fighting near a river, the kidnapper wins and throws the husband into the river and then he taunts him by saying “get out if you can”. Also, the guy who founded the city of Cordoba named it in honor of his wife (who was from the city of Cordoba in Spain). And he also got executed because of it.

I am going to give an example so that people understand what the problem is that even confuses many Argentines. The city of Buenos Aires also known as C.A.B.A. it is an autonomous city, and the capital of the Province of Buenos Aires is La Plata. A case like this happens in the United States. The capital Washington D.C. It is an autonomous city. It does not belong to Maryland or Virginia. One can cross without problems from the city to the province, the same thing happens in the USA, one can go from Maryland, pass through Washington D.C. to go to Virginia. But each place has its police, its hospitals, its governor or head of government, its legislature, even its own local laws. I hope my example helps a little, greetings, great video :)

[@Rodrigo_Vega]

Another small detail of interest that's a bit confusing even for people living here. The city of Buenos Aires, the _Autonomous City of Buenos Aires_ is not technically part of the Buenos Aires, the province of the same name, but rather a jurisdiction of it's own. Like a tiny city-state.

[@mevb]

In spanish the H is silent so Hermosa is actually pronounced Er-moe-sah. Therefore names like Hector is prounoced Ector istead of with a loud H like in many countries around the world.

[@agustinaaceto3518]

Well, it would be "er-moh-sah" cause we pronounce the letter O in one sound, when there's an O, english speakers tend to finish syllables with the sound U the way they pronounce double O in "school". The letter O is a short dry sound. It'd be easier to explain this in an audio 🤣

[@agustinaaceto3518]

And I always wanted to correct something else. When english speakers try to speak spanish fast, they usually pronounce our D like our R. You should think of our D as the sound you make when you pronounce "the". Our D is your TH in THEY or THE (not in THEME or THUNDER) On the other hand, to pronounce our soft R think of your D or T. (Yes, we have two kind of R sounds)

[@jury9683]

hey, a curious fact abaut San Juan's name: it's called that way because the founder of the province had a big ego and he was named Juan... so yeah he named the province like he was a Saint. Also his son founded the province of San Luis, same here, big ego and name the province after himself

Hi, good video! I just wanted to clarify that, although the theory of "the good airs" is popular, it's considered that the closest origin of the name of the capital is from "Nuestra Señora del Buen Aire" (Our Lady of Good Air), which was a Title of Mary (Like Our Lady of Guadalupe) to whom several navigators from Seville were followers, and mainly Pedro de Mendoza, who was the conqueror who founded the fort in the same area, naming it in tribute to her, in what would later become the city.

Just to clarify, Corrientes is named after the capital city. The original name was "San Juan de Vera de las Siete Corrientes", named after one of the guardian saints (San Juan Bautista), the founder of the city (Juan Torres de Vera y Aragón), and most importantly, named after the Seven Currents (or Seven Points). This are seven edges on the Paraná coastline (the most remarkable being Punta San Sebastián) where the water flow creates different streams. As you can guess only the last word was preserved.

[@richiavalos.1]

A very common mistake about the name of the city of Corrientes is to give it San Juan de Vera de las Siete Corrientes, the name given to the city a century after its foundation, since San Juan Bautista was one of the saints chosen by the founders to To protect the city, which later became the apocope Corrientes, its founder gave it the name of Ciudad de Vera, which appears in the founding act.

Your explanation is very good, well developed, but there is a problem, the Falkland Islands are not the same color as Argentina, and those islands are Argentine, maybe they forgot or were not informed much about the Argentine territory

[@maximosignorello7343]

No

[@fishcereal9940]

Argentina doesn't control them though. Usually with disputed territories you'd put lines on them but Falkland/Malvinas Islands are too small and jagged.

[@mrkitcatt2119]

Actually need a solid claim to the islands

What happened to Patagonia, i thought that was a region there?

[@mateozanone7216]

Patagonia is a region, not a province. It's like saying "west coast". "Patagonia" has many provinces inside it (Chubut, Santa Cruz, Río Negro, etc)

[@lauratictoc]

@@mateozanone7216 Gracias

[@facucabanne]

Just as Mateo said, Patagonia is just a geographical region. Argentina has other regions like Cuyo, Mesopotamia, Pampa húmeda, Pampa seca (wet and dry pampa), ect. They are useful for understanding weather, temperatures, shapes, type of soil, vegetation and animal population. But we rarely use them!

[@DreanPetruza]

Patagonia includes the provinces of Río Negro to the south.

[@CorvusLeukos]

@@facucabanne the only one we can use without people staring at us weirdly is Patagonia. The rest sound like being actually educated and that's not something we praise here lol.

For people who speak Dutch, the province of Neuquén is very funny. It looks very similar to the Dutch word for... well.. making love.

Y para los hablantes del Español, "países bajos" es bastante gracioso también porque significa que son países enanos.

Mendoza used to be chilean territory but like it happened with tierra del fuego, laguna del desierto, puna de atacama, valles andinos australes, part of the beagle canal, big part of patagonia and campos de hielo sur they lost those lands against us because our countries are separated by the peak of the andean mountains and the pacific - atlantic ocean and usually chileans sucked at making accurate maps and so they were claiming lands that from start were ours and because of this they still hate us for supposedly grabbing lands from them.
