Not quite. Cubans don't speak Spanish at all, they speak Spanglish!

[@bhutchin1996]

I've been to Mexico and Colombia. Some of my own ancestry is Spanish and Mexican, so I've got distant relatives in Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, and Puerto Rico. Three different ways to pronounce 'sencillo' in Spanish, depending on where someone is from. I thought -ico , 'un poquitico', was just Colombian until I heard Cubans use it too. If someone says 'guaguá', they're Caribbean. 'Buseta', they're Colombian, and you might want to warn them about using this word in Brazil. 😁 Some Mexican friends have asked me if I was Cuban. No, just Spanish and Mexican. Still, when I was in Colombia some people asked me if I had relative there. Yes, but distant relatives through my great-great-great-grandfather from Spain. He came to Texas, and his wife came from Mexico. I'm sure some of his relatives who moved to Latin America did so because Spanish is spoken in the countries they moved to. I have a few distant relatives who live in the Mexican state of Nuevo León, near Monterrey.

[@tommiejonsson8952]

". . . a full sized cup of cafecito" is a contradiction in terms because "cito" means small (or little) so a "cafecito" is a small coffee. What Fluffy actually says is "Bring me a full sized cup of coffee."

I am that person who does ask for a regular size cup of it at Cafe Havana and then insists after the manager strongly advises against it. And I don't regret it one bit. But they give me what should probably cost at least $30.00 so I feel a little guilty. But dayam it's good.

When I was very young I lived in Orlando and there was this awesome Cuban restaurant that my father used to take me to for "boy's night" once a month, which was just my dad and me since I was an only child. It was meant to be a bonding experience, and the people at the restaurant came to know us. I don't remember the name, and I'd be surprised if it was still there (the last time we went was when I was 10, 35 years ago). My father would always get a cup of cafecito at the end of the meal, and because the restaurant owner knew I wanted to be a "big man", even though I was really young, he would bring me my own "cafecito", which was just a small cup of warm milk with maybe -- MAYBE -- a teaspoon of coffee in it. The people who owned that restaurant were just the best damn people in the world. The place was small and it was clear that they were far from rich, but they always brought me extra plantains and always sat and talked with us for a while when we were there.

Informant ~ whistleblower ~ media: Most people would like the Americans incharge of our country to feel a little Tranquility, one of the first things our government's constitution states as a goal. The real fight is in the media, about 20 million subscribe to this form of internet "news" which is; opinion driven, politically motivated, well funded, ad appreciated and stupid to foolish. I know that it's an opinion which is really my political satire for today, however 150 plus million voted in the last presidential election, the other 200 million didn't, why? Because, the media didn't do a very good job of telling the truth. We all understand when you throw suffer on a fire, you get nice looking flames, well the chemist do. My point being, we are paying more to live today. Whose responsibility is that, Americans. If you want more we fight for it with money, the more you have the harder you fight, and the more you win, except the less money we all have. Mar-a-Lago is a home and a club, it's not the Alamo, Santa Anna did not kill everyone that was fight there, but the people that did do whatever they did do on "Monday morning" could have taken Santa Anna, so yes we are a much stronger country, but to call someone and informant ~ whistleblower ~ on a former president, who by some account was talking to the folks incharge may have not crossed the Bill Travis' Line. The more the media plays fast and loose with their air time, the higher the risk to Americans will pay more for freedom, and words have consequences, those that lie are always judged by history. Some of the media like the DNC some like the RNC a few hate Americans, that's the America we fight for, we never want people getting hurt, but China killed 6 million people so far with whatever you call 19, and this is piece time, China has 10 Trillion dollars worth of our US Bonds, that's a high price to pay if they want to attack one of their own, Russia is waring with a former state, that's a personal thing for Putin, the "bad middle east" is trying to take over the world, as a god thing. Meanwhile the media is fighting over who can have 10 million subscribers, and the American people are torn apart because both sides pay billions to get people on their shows, if some of us find that silly, think about this, 200 million didn't vote, silly would not be their word, our history mostly tells the tail, we are 5 minutes away from speaking Japanese, MIDWAY, we are 5 minutes away from speaking German, D-Day and the tanks were held back, we are 5 minutes away from speaking French, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, or a dozen others. We talk our own language ~ farcical. History will let us now who won, who lost and why, but until that time has come ~ the leaders of our country need to understand, words have consequences, the media needs to understand words have consequences, but the people need to understand the votes have consequences, as the saying goes......HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW ....... If you don't want to be compared to "bad people" don't do foolish things, if you don't want to be compared to "fools" don't do or say stupid things, and if you want to be compared with "good people" be good and say truth and act like an American, and if don't want to be compared, you're in the wrong country, we are all measured by our time, our times, and our actions, words and stuff. You can be a Washington, a Lincoln, a Patton or a Booth. All are dead, all have history, 7 million babies have been aborted RVW they have no history. We are in the most important time in our history, until the next time. That's the way it works in our America, we had a few good years, they seem to have failed to be appreciated by us, we don't get them back, but they are now part of our history, in 18 months you can see the difference words make, or feel the history around us. I have no knowledge of "WHAT'S NEXT" as Jeb would say, but I do know that history will say, it will tell the story of America, and those that see, read or study, those Americans will judge the people of today ~ and they will do it as a study of our stupidness, greatness or foolishness, and the people, a Lincoln or a Booth those are the only two standards most in politics are based your are either right or wrong.

[@irairod5160]

The joke is funny, but the grammar has been anglicized for the benefit of a larger audience that might be more familiar with the suffix "-ande". The correct ending for something large is "-ote" and "-ota", not "-ande". For example, a dog, "perro", is "perrito" (if small) and perrote (if large and male) and "perrota" (if large and female). "Very grande", like Gabriel is, would be "grandote". :-) :-) :-)

That one is very infrequently used. For a large "carreta", for example, you do say "carreton", so, good question.

Heck, I've tried mimicking my dad's accent but I cannot, though I prob naturally had it until I went through speech therapy as a little for it: it was deemed an 'impediment', but my 'impediment' was me literally pronouncing English words the Spanish way...which led to some unintended cursing in both languages 😬

As a Cuban who spent some of their childhood in a Dominican/Puerto Rican neighborhood of Jersey City...this is straight up accurate! But a simple way for me to tell another Cuban is to ask the very simple question, "¿Qué bola, asere?" Every other Latino would have no idea what I'm talking about, but every Cuban would know this as our way of saying "What's up, bro?" Thanks to colonization of the Caribbean, we all come in different colors. Wait until Gabriel finds out about Chinese-Cubans! In Manhattan's Upper West Side, there's a Chinese-Cuban fusion originally called La Caridad 78 founded in 1968 by Raphael Lee, and his son took over the business. The original closed in July 2020, but moved and reopened as La Caridad 72 in 2023. While the chefs overtime were replaced with ones from Mainland China, ONE Chinese-Cuban chef remained, and he had a Cuban accent SO thick, that you just wouldn't expect it to come out of his mouth (there's a Great Big Story vid with the restaurant featured).

Only Gabriel can tell this jokes without sounding arrogant or prejudice. As a latino from Brazil, I can relay to this dynamic. When I lived in California, people from both side of the border between Mexico and US , seems to be puzzled by listening to a Latino speaking Portuguese

I grew up with Mexicans, lived and worked in NYC with Puerto Ricans and lived in Florida and had alot of Cuban friends. Everthing he says is "Spot On". Cubans do love their coffee very very strong. I must say I love each of their cultures and the food👍👍
