I’m not a Spanish speaking person and I live in Miami. To my ears the most distinct Spanish accent is the Cuban accent.

[@francoortiz5100]

I’m Uruguayan, and I can tell you “CHE” doesn’t mean “man” but “hey” instead. It’s just a word we use when we want to call someone else’s attention. For example: “Che apagá la television” meaning “hey turn off the TV”. If we want to say “man” we’d just use the word “boludo”(masc.) or “boluda”(fem.) Hope it’s clearer now!😊❤️

In the Philippines, we pronounce ll, not with "y", but with "ly". I learnt from someone on the comments that it's called _lleísmo_ . Other pronunciation difference for us Filipinos are: 1) -ción and -sión endings are pronounced as "sh". So discusión = diskusyon(sy = sh sound), emoción = emosyon, and atención = atensyon. This also applies to just the "cio/cia" sounds so comercio = komersyo, negocio = negosyo, and policía = pulisya. 2) -dia and -dio is pronounced as "ja/jo". Example would be tragedia = trahedya(dy = j as in jump) and radio = radyo. 3) -tia and -tio, the ti is pronounced as "ch" as in chocolate. An example is the word hostia = ostiya(tiy = ch), molestia = molestiya and sitio = sitio(same spelling but still pronounced as "sicho") That's on the top of my head atm.

@@Dude-gx2ul No, I totally agree with you. I'm Filipino-American so I can't speak for all Filipinos. But I have discussed(even argued) with many Filipinos online about that haha. I have to breakdown to them that most Filipinos don't have, or have very little, Spanish ancestry because having a Spanish name doesn't mean they're part Spanish. The Spanish Empire forced Filipinos to adapt a Spanish surname once they were converted(forcefully) to Catholicism. There are only very few Spanish-Filipinos left in the Philippines. It's often hard to break their bubble or shatter their fantasies 😅 But on a different note, I noticed Filipinos get along so well with Mexicans. We do have a lot of cultural similarities 😉

[@gsanchez5116]

I think Argentinian Spanish is more easy actually!! Argentinian Spanish and Spanish from Central America are similar in the fact that they use verbs the same way. I learned Nicaraguan Spanish and I think it’s easier because you don’t have to do root changes. For example for decir instead of saying “tú dices” you say “vos decís”. Instead of “tu tienes” you say “vos tenes”. and most verbs are like that so you don’t have to worry about adding extra letters in the middle of the word or anything like that

Sí, eso pasa con todos los acentos del español. Hay 7 principales, pero en cada barrio, de cada ciudad, de cada región, de cada país, hay diferencias, entonces creo que es mejor tomar las características más generales de ciertas regiones más grandes y tomar a todo eso como un sólo acento. Yo no soy mexicano, pero si escucho a alguien de ahí, puede ser de la capital o de cualquier parte del país, yo no voy a ser capaz de darme cuenta de eso, pero a hay algo que sí voy a percibir: que es de México. Acá en Uruguay o Argentina pasa lo mismo, existe esa versión estándar que todos conocen, más propia de Buenos Aires o Montevideo, pero si te vas al interior de cada país (sobre todo en Argentina) vas a encontrar variaciones muy notorias, pero todas tienen ese algo en común que los hace formar parte de un mismo "acento" más general.

[@pablomiyara7697]

great video! as regards Argentine-Uruguay accent, as a speaker of Rioplatense, i would say these things: -the voseo is, indeed, an accent-related question. also, you can find it in more places, i would say throughout most, if not all Latin American countries, at leas in some region in each country, at least in some speeech registers. in Argentina in particular i would say it's the norm, with some "ustedeo" or treating people as "usted" used for when adressing the elderly, teachers, and some other situations, such as adressing people you dont know on the street, with "tú" being non-existent in Rioplatense except for song lyrics where it's more common than not, and used in some province/s in ¿casual? speech; -while we do have many words, expression, manners etc coming from the Italians, which maybe is the most noticeable feature, it is true that we have those from other languages too: thus, we have "junar", to know (exclusively for people-related stuff: "junar" someone, some band, etc), from the Kaló, a language which is kind of like a mix between Gypsy(?) and Spanish which originated in Spain; or some many terms coming from Native American languages which are spoken: for example, in my province we used to call pop-corn "pororó", which has i think a Quechua and/or Qom origin, Quechua being the main language and the people from the former "Inca Empire", whom still live here and in other countries such as present-day Bolivia and Perú, and the Qoms, a language and people from current Argentina, mostly, though this term is being lost in favor of "pochoclo", allegedly from "pop choclo", where choclo is the most common word for speaking of "corn" in general, also a Quechua word; -other noticeable, though not often talked about feature outside Argentina, is the "habla al vesre", which is interchanging thesyllable order in words, which we do very commonly. sometimes this brings about a nuance or even a change in meaning, such as in "garpar" from the original verb "pagar", to pay. garpar has more of a "to pay off" connotation, as in "hablar de igualdad de género garpa", roughly "speaking of gender equality pays off (when you're trying to seduce a girl, or trans or non binary person, or at polititians discourse), or otherwise pay off a debt or what you owe from gambling, etc;

So the sentence you gave as an example would be like: (Tú/Vos) me podís decir si está lloviendo cuando salgáis? Notice that the conjugation is closer to the one of vos(otros) in Spain, and in Chile the final -S is always aspirated so the sentence above ends up sounding like: (tú/boh) me poíh esír sihtá yowiendo kwando salgay?

I am from Chihuahua, México and we pronounce the Ch as Sh (like the word show in English). For example we say mucho as musho and chocolate as shocolate. I noticed that other parts of México like Mexico City they pronounce the Chs stronger like mucho to me sounds like mutcho.

My favorite dialect I used is the combination of Pyrenees and Antarctic Spanish. This Spanish dialect combination pronounced C and Z as "TH", S as sounds like "SH", V as the same as frank "V" (sometimes "W") and Ll as "ZH".

[@alejandraflores731]

Según tú "traducido" está en inglés o que pedo, porque no entiendo porque lo comparas con la palabra subtitulada. los subtítulos son las traducciones escritas que salen en las películas o videos, o bien puedes poner subtítulos en el mismo idioma que están hablando. Y traducir es decir lo mismo en otra lengua, ya sea escrito o verbal. Así que si te refieres a películas se pueden usar ambos términos... duh

[@Paccekabuddha]

@@alejandraflores731 yo si lo entiendo pero si buscas en youtube por ejemplo una canción subtitulada los que lo hacen lo llaman traducida al español, no es según yo es lo que sucede, sólo se tiene que escribir subtitulado queda implícito que es al español por que la palabra ya está en español, sólo se referenciaría un idioma ajeno si fuera el caso: poker face traducida al español poker face subtitulada menos sílabas, letras y una sola palabra si usaran bien el español. Ah y a tu despectivo... duh traducir es un proceso, subtitular es otro, doblaje es otro adaptar también sería otro, una persona puede traducir y quien subtitula, dobla o adapta puede hacerlo sin saber ingés ...el DUH es para ti jovencita.

That's why dialects are important including accents, because one it makes it easy to express and understand the meaning of the sentence automatically translating into English.

"Chevere" is not a Colombian word, it is mostly used in Venezuela, Cuba and Puerto Rico and is of Nigerian origin brought to the Caribbean by slaves brought from Africa. Due to the rise of Venezuelan telenovelas in the 80s, it has expanded a lot in the world. Other commonly used African words in Venezuela are "Bululu" which means "full of people" in English "Crowded", or "Cambote" which means "in a group". South American indigenous words are also used such as "Totona" which means "Vagina", or "Busaca" which means "Bag".

Me a spanish speaker learning soo much lol

[@JohnJE123]

I grew up in California's Central Valley in the 1970s and early 1980s. The ONLY Spanish dialect I was exposed to was Mexican. The first time I heard Puerto Rican (actually Nuyorican) Spanish was the manager of my college dormitory yelling at me. I could tell from the inflection that it was Spanish, but I literally couldn't understand a SINGLE WORD he said! Compared to Mexican Spanish, he spoke VERY quickly, running the words together, and dropping "s" in the middle and ends of words. LOL It took a year or 2 of hearing Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and Dominicans before I could understand them. Their accents in English are also quite different from the accent of a native Spanish-speaking Mexican. Now, I have Argentine cousins, and the process of learning to understand Caribbean Spanish dialects has made it much easier for my brain to "get" the Argentine Spanish. Thanks for the video!

I LOVE the Venezuelan accent - specifically el accento costeño! It has the same musicality of the Colombian accent but with more "comerse letras" and aspiration of the letter "S". Venezuelan accent sounds very breathy and light, like it rolls off the tongue. Gorgeous language!

@krk tmth I like them all, I like to see and appreciate the differences, but I prefer the accents of South America and Spain a bit more.

[@hiphipjorge5755]

@@Marcoshary Everyone's different. I personally love the accents of Central Mexico (as spoken by educated people not rural people who have much thicker accents). It is much more structured and clearly pronounced than most varieties, and has more of a unique style. Apart from that, the Spanish from Venezuela, Central Colombia, Rio de la Plata (Buenos Aires and Montevideo metro regions) and the Canary Islands are all amazing to me. I don't like the accents from Central America (Mexico is not Central America), the Caribbean basin or the Andes all that much, and...I can't stand the accent from Madrid or most of Northern Spain.

In eastern Cuba people known as "orientales" have a different accent from Western Cuba. The "orientales" talk similar to the Santo Domingo people, but there are differences between them also, i.e. between people from Holguin and people from Santiago. People from Cubanacan (Central Cuba) talk correctly and a little different from both, eastern and western Cuba.

Hi there, there is no standard Spanish - You can learn the structure which is the same in all Spanish speaking countries and then, as you said, little by little start adding the different words and expressions used in different regions.

Ahhh :’) I’m a Filipino and what they said is true haha. It feels like we really have a unique way of saying Spanish words but it is forgotten… Like, Filipino-accent Spanish. Nowadays, Filipinos couldn’t even do pure tagalog, we do Taglish now which is kinda sad since the younger generations prefer English than Tagalog/Filipino. Also, one thing… Reloj… We just drop the j lol. In hielo… It becomes Yelo to us haha. Those zapatos and lapiz becomes sapatos and lapis. Examen becomes Eksamen. Querida becomes Kerida (a bad word, unfortunately for Filipinos) Most people here don’t count spanish anymore like what others are saying, we count it now in English. I’m 18, and I don’t think some things here apply to the older generations lol. The Philippines is changing.
