Native speaker here, just wanted to say even I have a hard time trying to understand Bad bunny

[@wildwildwest1286]

I was gonna say,I think a lot of Puerto Ricans ,especially older ones wouldn't understand what he's singing,although probably 80% of the words you went over would be understood by the average person.Bichote doesn't necessarily mean a bigtime dealer,it could be a local dealer who runs the caserio.Another Puero Rican word that's used all the time,zafecon=garbage can..Rumor is that it was corrupted from safety can.LOL.Also another bigtime word is asicalao.Don't know if I spelled it right,means dressed up,cleaned up,powedered and perfumed.

[@jdstep97]

Gema Dumet, thanks. That's a bit helpful. So I know it's not just me.

[@LULU40134]

WIld,Wild West “asicalao” I have heard Spanish people using that word and my whole life a thought zafacon was a Arab word hahahahahahah

[@ricardomoulton9202]

True. Anule AA is similar to bad bunny

[@jjdavis7471]

I hate to say it, but I'm so happy to know that even native speakers have a difficult time understanding him. I have to look up his lyrics to know what he's saying.

[@jeremynieves108]

Since I’m Puerto Rican I totally understand this, there are a lot of bilingual aspects that we have. Such as changing shoes, “zapatos” to “teniz.” We made a lot of words it’s crazy. I tell my Spanish teacher about this stuff and she doesn’t agree with it and she’s lived in Puerto Rico for some time of her life but came from Cuba. I kind of understand though, it’s Puerto Rican slang and not your normal Spanish. There are more Puerto Rican’s in the states than there is on the island, there is a lot of history that goes to how much the island has changed including all of Latin America as well.

[@carolinamendez97]

Could you do the same with Anuel AA? Because I swear dude speaking a whole different language from spabish

You got it.

[@LadyChelChels]

Carolina Mendez totally agree!! My dad is a Puerto Rican native, but he’s been living in CA for over 30 years and he has a hard time singing along to Anuel AA he says he has to go full blown PR just to keep up lol!!

[@blazeberthelot2629]

Yes please!

[@AdrianeRavon]

I had no idea he be speaking English and you played a couple of my songs 🤦🏽‍♀️😂

[@markohollywood4218]

That's actually genius on bad Bunny's part ...he knows most of he's music it's actually aim at Spanish Americans .. he's actually a big wrestling fan and basketball fan .. good shit brother !!!

[@awakewarriors119]

I understand him best. His mix of Sp/eng is Fire. If you are older like me (60),,Just know that bad bunny has an AmazingIy diverse songbook that has song qualities for more easily put off Listeners. Some songs I've looked up translation and thought "Oh No I don't want to be singing that walking down the street" but like the music & speed of the sound to work on pronunciation and real time comprehension. No1. Si veo tu mamá. 2, Yonaguni 3. Canción ( J. Balvin with Bad Bunny ) 4. Sensualidad and many more. Watch youtube vid with translations.you will see many ways that words are shortened like "esto e' pa' hoy" from a song I like. I searched til found what stood for.

[@johanreillo8403]

Bunny speaks like any other younger Ricans

[@Nicki17321]

Yea, all of my Puerto Rican friends code switch like that. Even when they are speaking primarily English.

[@LULU40134]

Not really, no all of us I don’t speak that way and mostly of my friends and family doesn’t.. well I came from a very well spoken family so I think that why I don’t talk that way 😆

[@johanreillo8403]

I love Bad Bunny (and learning Spanish) so this video was just what I needed! 🧡 I actually would like both types of videos, this one made me happy since I could learn more about Bad Bunny songs.

[@woodcrest4655]

Great video man, you gotta make a video “speaking with Anuel AA”

[@DonnyxCage]

I believe we Puerto Rican’s call it Spanglish

[@Amarok_Aquatics]

As a Puerto Rican I can tell you we also have the word casco for the head or helmet. But we take the "s" away and replace it with an "h", so it sounds like ca-ah-co. But the word caco is said more like Kako with an emphasis on the first "a", in reality it would be read as Káko with no "h" sound.

[@Dinosgurl20]

The energy you brought here was everything 💪🏽

Gracias!

[@jdstep97]

Dinosgurl20, I agree, lots of energy. And with that bright, white shirt, it's like he's electrified.

I LOVE the idea of videos translating reggaeton lyrics-- line by line yes!! Please do it, I would LOVE that & watch every episode. Can you do “Cuidao por ahi” de Bad Bunny y J Balvin

[@doukdouk2550]

Damn im missing so much my beautiful Puerto Rico. Cant wait to be back. Went to Odessa TX to work and the damn corona fucked everything up. Miss everything about my island, used to go out at 2am to skate and graffiti. I was free. I was happy and i didnt even know it.

[@victorjones1995]

Line by line is better cause you cover more words than just picking out a single word and its definition! But please keep making videos like this! I love reggaeton but it would be nice to know all the words lol 😂

[@KizTheCat]

I love Bad Bunny so much and when he says English things I can normally understand it! But I think it’s because I’m so used to hearing Puerto Rican Spanish, my family is all from there

[@bibinoojen]

Love!! Obsessed with bad bunny and knew that he used a lot of English but not to this level! And thanks for breaking down the phrases, def no one teaching spanish like THIS. Preciate you and your content!

Thanks for the video. Now I know why I couldn't find any of those words in the Spanish dictionary.

[@KylaeighA]

I really like this type of video!! Maybe a mix of the two? Instead of explaining all the lyrics maybe just explain the sentences that seem a little harder to grasp! Also thanks for your hard work!

[@bajanninja]

Both methods of doing a slang break down suffice. Personally I like line by line but this one gives a nice general out look. Good stuff 👍👍

[@seneciohaworthii970]

I’m Puerto Rican and I don’t understand him most of the time. Not just his words. But his dialect. There’s different dialects in Puerto Rico believe it or not. He speaks very different from the mayor of San Juan for example. Her I can understand.

[@boysinskirts702]

It's funny to me that you explained everything, because sometimes I forget that puertoricans are the only ones that speak like this. We do mix a lot of English, Spanish, some dialects from Africa, and also our native tongue wich is Taíno; this makes it hard to understand for other people. But honestly, all of us, that live on the island can understand him perfectly because that's how we speak, especially the younger generations because they grew up in a school system where they were taught English, with Disney channel, with tv shows like Dora and Barney, and also the music they listen too which is greatly influenced by English or even in English; all of this shaped the way we speak and, dare I say, makes us unique.

[@Revoswathead]

Hey Ricky! We need another video on how you learned Spanish! Can you give some specifics and routines that you used. Your Spanish and comprehension is amazing.

Let's see what I can put together. Thanks so much for supporting the channel!

[@yessiexvlog9906]

En RD dicen cahco, pero es casco. Solo se comen la s. Igual lo hacemos los puertorriqueños. Pero Caco es una palabra de PR. No lleva s en el medio. Y se usa para referirse a los que le gusta la música de regueton, rap, trap y hasta a los que viven en cacerios o tienen ese flow de urbano.

[@kailove8767]

@@jeremynieves108 , okay, but Bilingue Blogs is not from Puerto Rico or the Dominican Republic, so he says. Though many of us think he's an imposture, Dominican pretending to be an American learning to speak like a Dominican.

[@jeremynieves108]

jdstep97 I know he’s from America, I’m just saying that it’s cool he’s learning different dialects of Spanish becuase Latin America as a whole has different ways of saying certain words, I’m not just highlighting Puerto Rico or the Dominican Republic.

Ricky, what up, bro! First time coming across your channel . I like the content, bro. I like your style and what you're doing. Keep up the good work, brother. I'll never forget what an English professor commented on one of my first pieces: "Slang limits your audience." So imagine Bad Bunny or Piri Thomas writing a book or a song with ZERO slang? It would never be the same. But Piri Thomas had an ingenious solution. He actually included a Glossary and the end of his book for all of his English and Spanish slang. Bunny doesn't seem to give a shit that no one understands him. 😂🤣😅

En PR la gente guaya con una pareja. No es solo bailar, es que van a guayar el pantalón o la ebilla con una mujer, osea, le van a pegar el pantalón y todo al trasero o cualquier otra parte de su compañera de "baile". Guayar lo usamos cuando nos caemos y hacemos fricción con el piso y nos lastimamos. Esa herida de fricción es a lo que llamamos guayar. O cualquier pelada, si es con una pared y me hice una herida. "Me güayé cuando me caí". Guayar es herida específicamente. Entonces, en la cancion hace referencia a que van a bailar tan pegao que van a guayar el pantalón o la ebilla y hasta a la pareja de baile. Asi de pegao van a bailar.

Idk if I’d said he’s speaking English I think some words just don’t have a Spanish translation. So he might say it in English just with a accent
