Lol, this is crazy. They're legit having a conversation here in two languages. I once met an older Mexican dude, who claimed that he went to Italy for a year and never had to learn Italian. I didn't believe him, but now I realize he was probably correct.

[@CobraKaiNoMercy]

I’ve seen the exact same thing for example: 1. I met an old Italian man who told me his and his father would watch Spanish television shows and they both understood everything (eventually), neither spoke fluent Spanish. 2. My parents who are from Puerto Rico visited Italy and spoke nothing but Spanish. Some Italians even requested they speak in Spanish because “it’s easiest for them to understand outside of Italian” (their words). If you check out Metatrons Academy, he is Italian and gauges which language is most similar to Italian and he has said many times he feels Spanish is the closest.

[@simonepunzo4890]

Ricrediti invece. Questi due conoscono la lingua l'uno dell'altra. Ma un italiano può capire uno spagnolo. Uno spagnolo non proprio, perché l'italiano grammaticalmente è molto difficile ed è pieno di regole

[@polepino]

Yeah, in my past few years learning Spanish, I've learned from Spanish speakers that Spanish and Italian are very close. That's good to know if I ever go to Italy or if I learn Italian. Actually, funny story, I've met quite a few Portuguese speakers and I can use basic Spanish phrases and they understand.

[@KnurdMonkey]

We are (Italians) very similar to Spanish people under multiple aspects. Way of leaving, habits, culture, families composition and traditions. This is also the reason why we find ourselves quite comfy in each other county. I've been in Spain few times, and I always had the feeling that I was just in another Italian city. Maybe you do not know the neighborhood but you can approach people easily. They are very welcoming. I think we could live in each other county quite well.

[@bencebuda4599]

It makes a lot of sense history-wise, actually. Italia and Hispania were the two most Roman territories of the Empire and later on they were both very heavily influenced by the Catholic church and Ecclesiastical Latin. They're similar geography-wise as well so it'd be a miracle if they weren't very alike.

In Spanish you can also say, "huésped" which is the derivative of the Latin word "hostis/hospitis".

At about 3:32 when they compare the conjugation for the verb "to be", en español "ser", and italiano "essere", Sebastian uses unusual pronouns for the third person singular and also for the third person plural. Standard Italian would be.... lei/lui and loro, respectively.

[@CarlosGarcia-gs1wd]

I am Galician and to speak with Italians I never use English, because speaking Spanish and Galician and mixing it with a little Italian there is no problem, plus Italians always know some Spanish. The phonetics of Spanish is very simple, which is an advantage for those who want to learn it but a problem for Spanish speakers when they want to learn other languages.

[@creativesomalia7784]

I speak Italian and I started learning Spanish. The similarity between the 2 languages makes me learn Spanish easily. But I think Italian pronunciation and verb conjugation are easier than the Spanish ones.

[@RevRod92]

Meal times vary in Italy depending on whether you're up north or south, the more south you go, the later the meal times, even after 9 in some cases.

[@maryreilly5092]

My Mom is from Italy. She married an American from the South, (my Dad's from Alabama). Learning to cook Southern food was not difficult for my Mom, she said. Eating supper no later than 5p.m. to suit my Dad was very hard for her. She was raised to eat supper at 8p or 9p. My younger brother and I take after my Mom. We eat a snack in the early evening, between 4p-6p then we have our supper at 9p or even later. My older brother and little sister take after my Dad. They must eat supper no later than 6p. It's kind of strange but also cool how we represent both parents in that ares.

both speak the standard of both languages, but more if the italian/spanish speaks a regional language/dialect, sometimes even much more intelligible: example: italian from north italy, lives in Barcelona (regional catalan is spoken) his grandmother visits (she speaks a dialect of the Northern Region: Milan or Venice): "Grandma: Well? Around the city (at the airport, supermarket, museum, etc.): Yes, yes... just someone who spoke to me in English and I didn't understand anything...😂👌

[@CobraKaiNoMercy]

When my parents from Puerto Rico visited Italy they tried speaking English and were re-buffed by many Italians, when one Italian heard them speaking in Spanish he told them “We Italians may not all speak Spanish, but we understand it ALOT better than English”, when they changed to Spanish they had a much better time. They were even invited to have dinner with an Italian family who’s daughter married a guy from Spain. There was little to no problems of comprehension.

[@ivanovichdelfin8797]

La chica está hablando el español de la vida cotidiana. ¿A qué te refieres con estándar?

I'm from the U.S., native speaker of American English, but I had learned Spanish with a Latin American (,not s-dropping) pronunciation in school. French I had taken for a year in school. Latin I had picked up partly from church, partly on my own. German (language of my paternal grandfather) I had learned partly on my own, partly at the university. Ancient Greek I had taken at the university. I had not really studied Italian but had picked up hits snd pieces over the long haul. Now, I can't say I find Italian "più bella che'l spagnuolo," or Spanish "más hermoso que el italiano." By the way, I understood pretty much sll if each and both of the languages.

Ok vamos a ver. I am both Spaniard and Italian. I speak Spanish fluent and understand Italian. Where it becomes problematic, even for Italians is when Italians are speaking dialect. For instance,, my paternal grandparents are from Puglia and the dialect is Barese and that is even non understandable to Italians, very similar to Napolitano. Its a mix of Spanish and Old French and Italian and Greek and Arab and something else, es horrible. :-) But in standard Spanish and Italian I think its about 85-90% intelligible. Now in Spain there are dialects and also other languages like Gallego and Catalan and Eueskera( Basque) and then regional dialects like Andalucian, Murciano and Extremeño which are all variants of Andaluz. Then you also have Canario and then Asturiano. But I would say S Italian dialects are the hardest from the main language of Italaino. Now if the gal here would of been speaking more her accent from Sevilla( Andalucia) where my grandparents are also from, it has a lilt very similar to Latin American Carribean style like Cuban or Puerto Rican or from Chile, depending on the area you are from in Andalucia. Vry nice video thank you for sharing. Viva Italia and Viva España. Both languages are equal in my book..they have to be. But lets remember what was once said on the languages...especially by Charles V he said peak Spanish to God, Italian to women...

[@simonepunzo4890]

Strano che uno come te, che conosce entrambe le lingue, dica che spagnolo e italiano sono uguali. C'è un'enorme differenza grammaticale, strutturale, anche nei plurali e nei numerosi verbi irregolari. Per questi motivi l'italiano è il più simile al francese con la pronuncia diversa. L'89 % . Il ragazzo del video ha dimostrato di avere una notevole conoscenza dello spagnolo, si esprimeva spesso in spagnolo.

[@josee18]

@@simonepunzo4890 Non sono qui per discutere su quanto siano simili o dissimili. Comunque il tuo punto su quanto il francese sia vicino all’italiano è una sciocchezza. In effetti ho un cugino che è stato qui dalla Francia questo fine settimana. Sua madre era per metà francese e italiana. Quando le ho chiesto se poteva capire l'italiano ha detto di no, non poteva. È molto difficile per lei, così come per lo spagnolo. Tuttavia, può capire e leggere il catalano (dialetto della Catalogna Spagna) di origine provenzale. Non capisco il francese, però se lo leggo riesco a capire qualcosa. Ho letto le somiglianze come hai detto tu 89% contro lo spagnolo 82% ma questa è tutta opinione. Quindi le parti d’Italia più vicine alla Svizzera/Francia hanno alcune parole più comuni. Tuttavia, se dovessi andare in Sardegna e nel sud dell'Italia, sarebbe più comune con gli spagnoli poiché anche queste aree un tempo erano sotto l'impero spagnolo. La famiglia di mio padre è pugliese. Il dialetto è semplicemente terribile, non sembra nemmeno italiano. È una combinazione di arabo, greco, italiano, spagnolo, francese antico, albanese e un po' di tedesco. Quindi il francese, amico mio, è molto più difficile da imparare per chi parla italiano e spagnolo.

[@simonepunzo4890]

@@josee18 Primo, le sciocchezze le dici tu. Secondo, l'89 % è la percentuale data dalle accademie linguistiche. Terzo, è molto strano che una donna per metà francese e per metà italiana, non capisca la nostra lingua, o il figlio. È solo una questione culturale dei francesi che non vogliono parlare altre lingue e fanno finta di non capire. Io sono bilingue fr e It ma conosco anche lo spagnolo e ti assicuro che chiunque abbia un minimo di buona volontà può verificare l'enorme vicinanza tra il francese e l'italiano. Tutta la struttura grammaticale e lessicale è uguale ma la loro pronuncia gutturale li frega un po'.

@@josee18 Innanzitutto il sud Italia nell'entourage del napoletano, ci sono state invasioni francesi, per cui moltissimi termini francesi li capisco bene perché sono rimasti nella lingua regionale ed io sono del sud. Inoltre, la prima volta che io sono stato in Francia ospite di una famiglia francese, lo capivo benissimo già dopo pochi giorni senza averlo mai studiato e loro capivano me. In terzo luogo, gli italiani sono un po' svogliati ad impegnarsi a capire il francese, come pure l'inglese, mentre con lo spagnolo c'è più facilità a causa del carattere espansivo di entrambi. In conclusione ci sono italiani che lo capiscono bene il francese e ci sono italiani che hanno più difficoltà. È tutto molto soggettivo. La differenza la fa un'alta istruzione personale generale poiché ti facilita nel riconoscere le parole simili all'italiano ma se sei un ignorante, fai fatica a capirlo.

Okay this video is problematic for me. I am partially Andalucian Spanish where supposedly this gal is from. She is from Sevilla which is Andalucia. I was raised with an Andalucian grandparents,, been around Andalucian people all my life. First and foremost, outside of this gals hair being perhaps died blonde, her FACIAL FEATURES ARE NOT typical from Spain and most certainly not Andalucia. She looks very Nordic or from the Extranjero or German even Slavic but not Spanish! The other thing that is most evident is she has NO ANDALUCIAN accent when she speaks Spanish. It sounds contrived or Neutral or from Northern Spain especially that she uses the THETA sound, which is primarily NOT used in portions of Andalucia and most certainly not in Sevilla. So where is this gal and her real background from? She could even be mixed, but she is not typically Spanish and I do not believe she is Spanish by ancestral or perhaps partially. The guy looks like he could fit more into Spain than she could. She could even be more partially Portuguese. TO me she looks German or Nordic like Scandinavian , Dutch or perhaps partially Portuguese or even Romanian..Spanish not, and most certainly Not Andalucian by her behavior nor her accent or features/. Who are you? Perdon, not trying to deny you, but you do not look Spanish nor sound Andalucian or de Sevilla for nothing!! Even my friends from Sevilla said the same thing.
