Caramba, Maura! Soy viejo - tengo 74 - asi que me gusta usar palabras y expresiones arcaicas en ingles y espanol. Pero evidentemente, no utilizo muchas palabras del vocabulario de mis abuelos.

jejeje, perfecto uso de "caramba". A mi también me gusta. Mis amigo/as siempre se han reído de mi porque uso palabras de mi abuela todo el tiempo. 😅 - Maura =)=)=)

Los jovenes en Barcelona de veces usan 'guapa' y 'carino' con gente que no conocen, por ejemplo en los cafes. Me gusta esto. (Disculpame, Maura, no puedo poner los tildes con este teclado).

Is "caray" any better than caramba? I always liked the sound of caray. Anyway I am 45 so I should get a pass. But I also like "uy!" and "uff"

Hi, I'm from México City, caray is used much more than caramba. Uy! and uff are used a lot, uy uy uy also.

They're very close to each other. It depends more on the country. 45 is QUITE young! hehe. But you can, of course, use both or none. The onomatopoeias "uy", "ay", "uff" are timeless, GO FOR IT! - Maura =)=)=)

¡Buen ojo! Siii, lo más correcto desde la gramática sería usar el subjuntivo. Abusamos de los idiomas, ya sabes, y no es raro que escuches rupturas de reglas como la que yo cometí, pero lo correcto sería decir "ojalá todo salga". 🤗- Maura =)=)=)

4:14 Interesting, I never knew "tipo" also can mean "por ejemplo". I only knew it as type and guy. I looked it up and it says I can also use it the same way as "o sea" as a filler word. Is that true?
@springspanish2 ай бұрын
Yessss! Good catch! Your research is 100% correct. In my videos I say "tipo" to mean "por ejemplo" all the time. I try to not overuse it to mean "o sea" because it's a sticky filler word that's hard to shake off (kind of like "like" is in English). But I still do it, haha. - Maura =)=)=)

@neiss23 ай бұрын
At 00:01 "Hay muchas cosas que has escuchado un montón.." Let's see if Latin-American speakers get this straight and stop using wrong the verb "escuchar" and use instead "oír". "Escuchar" literally means to listen (it implies intent), whereas "Oír" means to hear. So, in English you would say "There are many things that you have HEARD a lot", not "There are many things you have LISTENED TO a lot". It simply makes no sense. Well, in Spanish it's the same, in correct Spanish you should say "Hay muchas cosas que has oído un montón".

This is incredibly offensive. Why is appearing to have life experience something to be avoided, in your opinion?? The title, the thumbnail, the video, everything here is disgusting. If you hate "old" people (which you have no accurate framework for anyway, you're casting 30+ as "old" here), then you hate history, tradition, and values. Get a grip and stop pandering to teenagers! It's not "cool" to sound naive and gullible.

Show me in the video where she said she hates old people. I swear, people get so offended about everything these days. Take your own advice and "get a grip".
@greeneking773 ай бұрын
C'mon, I think you are way off base with that. I'm 45 and wasn't offended at all. I would get some stares or strange looks if I said "That's swell" or "golly gee" or "groovy" or "that's rad" or "good heavens!" (and most of the time the dictionary will not tell you it is outdated unless it is very old as in archaic) so I can see how knowing about caramba, etc. could be nice to know.
