The truth about living in Uruguay | A foreigner's point of view

[@alfredoistic]

📌 I'm Uruguayan here, I'm glad you liked my country, thanks for making a video about it cheers!!

[@Maxler5795]

Im a uruguayan anomaly. I was born in the US but lived my life on Uruguay. And boy am i glad i did. Uruguay is... just... amazing.

[@guillermotraverso4112]

"I thought all of south america was kinda like México"😂 it always happens bro, we are used to things like that and to see European tourists coming on winter barely with clothes thinking that they are in the tropical SA. No problem now you know it. Peace!

[@gastoncedres442]

I’m from Uruguay and lot of people know what a taco is but they’ve never had it

[@marcelae9798]

They know now. Before globalization (AKA internet), no one in Uy knew what a mexican taco or tortilla were.

[@charruaporelmundo]

They do know, because of TV,...nothing else, and to be sincerely, we do not need it.

[@lewisanthony1955]

Flat out I love that tiny country and modestly I’ve been there 7 times , and knew 14 of 19 departments. The worst part it’s comparing all the stuff with Mexican ...

[@GracieAhora]

Wow! I was also born in Uruguay and haven’t visited more than 6 or 7 departments. I promise to change that! I agree with you, never compare that part of South America with Mexico!

[@thejusticechannel13]

Uruguayans are probably nicer than Mexicans too. Mexicans are entitled and like to act tough.

[@RedScareClair]

White Americans think all of Latin America is Mexico... Nevermind the fact that Uruguay and Mexico are on 2 different continents 🙄

[@maurofac841]

We all love milanesas! It is yet another food brought by the Italians. The name translates to "Milanese" (from the city of Milan) and it's a fairly common food in the Alpine region, maybe in North American culture you're probably used to its German name, Schnitzel.

[@javierpizzikato7800]

"Black beans" is what we call "Poroto". With rice is delicious. PD: Sorry for bad english.

[@Ciantrades]

Yours English is good Javier👍

Vamo Uruguay🇺🇾

[@albertowachsman]

Very nice guy. Castellano (Castilian) is actually not a Uruguayan dialect. There are multiple regional languages in Spain, such as Catalan, Vasco, Gallego and Castellano. When Castilla became the dominant power in Spain, their language became the official language of Spain, so for most of the world Castellano is known as Spanish.

[@GracieAhora]

True, but you’re making it too complicated. The guy is just trying to give a simple, easy to understand explanation to why / how our Spanish is different from the kind of Spanish people in the USA usually hear

[@gaa389]

I appreciate it. It's not too complicated for my brain.

[@albertowachsman]

@@gaa389 Thanks

The local dialect derived from castellano - es rioplatense - on both shores of Rio de la Plata

Muchas gracias hermano ! Thanks brother ! Greetings from Uruguay 🇺🇾

[@Timithos]

Food, dialect, and safety.. ok well, I came for banking, taxes, property ownership, vehicle ownership/rental, cost of living, visas, residencies, citizenship. Moving along then.

[@Donyk]

Hi, what type of business or service need do they have?

[@the_Falcon_fall]

Well, we´re very concern about food here and that says a lot about Uruguay. If u care about food then u care about family and friends. If you have the right friendships and keep your family together then you will also do well in business. If you do well then why to worry about costs, ownerships, vehicles, taxes and so on? See? First F.O.O.D.: Family Over Other Duties.

[@Elratauru]

Uruguayan here, a pretty honest review and a show of good understanding. Loved the Alfajor's description... even I find it hard to explain it sometimes! I'd also like to add the word "Vamos!" used as a "Let's go!" when something goes nicely (To pump us up!), we tend to cut the last "S" so it ends up as "Vamo'!"... Also "Vamo' arriba" it's pretty common too. As for usage, "Vamo' arriba La Celeste" is a common saying for cheering our local soccer team :)

[@gaa389]

The "sh" sound for "y" or "ll" is not a Castilian thing; that's a purely Argentine/Uruguayan thing. That is not how things are pronounced in Castilla Leon, Spain.

[@daigorowolf2136]

Gringo doesn’t know any better. He probably thinks the official language is Spanish and Castellano is the dialect

A milanesa with ham and mozzarella (and a marinara style sauce)is call Napolitan Milanesa, (milanesa a la napolitana) there's a difference between the 2, and NO, we don't eat a lot of black beans.. seems like you never been to Mexico or Colombia or Brazil or Guatemala... Uruguay is the Latin country that consume less beans.
