Double negative is the norm in Spanish, so "no necesito ningún problema" is correct whereas "necesito ningún problema" sounds off to my ears.

[@kiwiboy1999]

@Jeremias Larroca but it lacks emphasis

[@LorianR]

Quizás es una forma de hablar en America que desconozco, pero en España esa frase no tiene sentido. En todo caso sería “no tengo ningún problema”. Nunca había oído el verbo “necesitar” en una expresión así. Parece extranjero, aunque ni siquiera tiene sentido traducido al inglés: “I don’t have any problem”, instead of “I don’t need any problem”.

[@DonPaliPalacios]

Indeed, “Yo no necesito ningún problema” hardly makes sense in terms of meaning, but gramatically it is perfectly correct and the double negative there is standard Spanish, not a dialectal feature. “No tengo ningún problema”, “No veo a nadie”, etc., all correct across the Spanish-speaking world.

[@ryankramer8779]

when I was younger, when my grandmother (who is from Chile) told me not to open the door to strangers, she would word it as, "Don't open the door to nobody," in English and my English-speaking brain would be like, "interesting wording" 😁

No necesito problemas.

[@sebas346]

Native Spanish speaker here. The double negative is actually grammatically correct in Spanish! "No tengo nada," "no tengo ningún problema con eso," "no conozco a nadie," etc. Saying "tengo nada," "tengo ningún problema con eso," and "conozco a nadie" just sounds strange and ungrammatical lol

[@TancredofAntioch]

Yes, in many ways, it is often used to emphasize a negative. For example, "yo nunca iría" is like 'I would never go,' but "yo nunca iría jamás" is like, 'I would never go ever, why would you even ask?' Even a triple negative could be used in some situations, although it could be weird and unnecessary sometimes. I am curious if you learned that it wasn't correct and from where that person is. I love to learn more about languages.

You, who are studying spanish: The fact that there are so many countries with so many variations of the Spanish language, and every one of us can perfectly understand each other, makes easier to us to understand foreigners, even if they have bad pronunciation or poor vocabulary. So, Don't be ashamed of making mistakes and try to practice speaking Spanish with native speakers! :D

[@garypage9515]

I have definitely noticed that. Since I am not really fluent, but am able to "muddle through" with what I am able to say with not perfect pronunciations, the Spanish speakers, don't seem to mind, and seem to understand what I say. I compare that to the French, especially in the Alsace area, where if I slightly mispronounce a word, they look at me like I am speaking Greek.

[@kensnzbr4137]

True, I'd advise you all to practice your Spanish even if you sound a bit like "Tarzan" at the beginning. I've noticed that 99% of the time, we don't give up on you no matter how much of a beginner you are at the language, if you start attempting to say something in Spanish, we're almost always gonna find ourselves guessing words that will complete your sentences to help you communicate, like we say in Nicaragua: No te dejamos morir.

Spanish Professor here. Double negatives are correct in Spanish. Also, multiple negatives in a sentence is gramatically right. Spanish grammar rules state that, when is comes to nouns and parts of speech that modify them, they should agree not only in gender/number, but also if they are affirmative or negative. Therefore if a statement is negative, everything around it is negative as well.

[@andreslb151]

Actually Spanish DOESN'T HAVE double negatives. It's mistaken because words like 'ninguno', 'nadie', 'nada', 'nunca'... are negative polarity words, but aren't negative by themselves. There's an full explanation from youtuber Linguriosa about this.

Argentinan here: The "ciao" thing is correct but we always pronounce (and write it) as "chau". there is also a whole and very intersting (although slowly dying) with lots and lots of foreign words from italian, african and native languages called "lunfardo" popularized by inmigrants as a way of slang. Most of lunfardo words got lost over time but some stay like "cana" for police "laburar" (from the italian "labore") for work or "mina" for woman. Also your friend has a great argentinean accent although a bit exaggerated. you mostly find that kind of enthusiasm on the richer, more high social status. most people talk with a much more calm accent although still very much italian. And this is all without accounting for all the recent additions and influences from neighbouring countries when it comes to accents and slang. some may say its detrimental but i actually like some colombian or venezuelan slang getting used by everyone and added to the vocabulary. Another thing about argentinean spanish is that while our accent may sound the same for foreigners i personally find that every single person i have met have a distinct personal accent that makes them stand out and its usualyl closely tied to family roots. for example my family wich comes mostly from spain and we do not talk with as much accent as other people i know.

Thank you for that comment. It helps me understand Carribean musical artists better. I have always wondered why I cant understand Chi Chi Peralta when he speaks, but when he sings, I can! Same with Bob Marley and his way of speaking English - I can understand his lyrics but, when he is just speaking, I find him very hard to understand. It must be a Carribbean thing - they know their local pronunciation is hard for people from other places to understand, so they use a more common pronunciation to appeal to a wider audience. I am grateful for that as I love Carribean music.

I’ve travelled through most of Latin America, totalling at least a year, and all those accents are indeed amazing. I would like to mention Guatemala, which is famous for its Spanish language schools, especially around Lake Atitlan and in the old city of Antigua. Language learning in beautiful places at bargain prices! As Spanish is often the second language of many of the people there, including the teachers (their native tongues being one of several versions of indigenous Mayan) they tend to speak very clearly and slowly. These schools and Guatemala in general are thus excellent for learning Spanish language. As for Argentina, yes it’s very Italiano, which I loved, and relatively easy to understand. Thanks for your interesting videos.

The pronunciation "sh" for the digraph "ch" in Chile, while not uncommon, is not part of standard Chilean Spanish. It's tipically associated to poorly educated people and usually frowned upon by purists, so much so that many people avoid the "sh" sound even when pronouncing English words, as an over-correction.

I agree with you, it is funny to hear at Santiago's airport when the speaker system announces: Your atenCHON please. I always believed that thar "ch" sound came from the over-correction from the spanish "sh" of the less educated people in the country that is ported into English just inadvertently.

I would have liked to see a section on Colombo-Venezuelan Spanish since it's the dialect I speak (biased), and because it's a really interesting fusion of Andean, Caribbean, and other influences. In particular, you might find interesting that in Colombia and Venezuela, it is common to change diminutives from ito or ita to ico or ica just like you mentioned is common in Murcian Spanish. So, instead of ratito, you'd say ratico. Also very commonly known about these accents is the way they change the S to an H sound in the middle of words. For example, it's not "Caracas," it's "Caracaj". It's not "espera," it's "ejpera." And that extends to pretty much the entire language. When I first met my wife (Venezuelan), I spoke Southern Mexican Spanish (where I learned) and it was difficult for me to understand her a lot of the time.

Well yes but not really, in the north of Colombia the accent is similar to the Caribbean as in the Pacific coast, but the rest of the country it is another story, in the south they speak more like in Peru and Ecuador, while in the center there are a variety of accents, dialects and some even use "vos" instead of "tú"

A good example of Mexican Spanish being easy to understand is Paulina from the easy spanish podcast, whose clarity I appreciate as a novice.

Im Cuban, I have Spanish European ancestors due to the Spanish Civil war most of them being Nationalist Christians, I had Ancestors in great great grandmother in Canary Islands Spain, my great great grandfather in Palma de Mallorca Island Spain, and one of my great great Grandfather from Leon Spain, and yes they caught for the Nationalist side since they were all Christians or Catholics, which I’m a Christian till this day.
