"computadora" from the verb "computar" was chosen by spanish speakers from América because they have more exposition to USA, the word "ordenador" in Spain from the verb "ordenar" in Spain was chosen by spanish speakers from Europe because the machine was introduced from France... "Ordenateur"

[@jandron94]

Yes. Before, it was France and the French that had influence in Spain. And at school you learned French.

[@Roixo2]

Además, creo que ordenador viene del verbo ordenar y el sufijo -dor, que se refiere a la persona u objeto que realiza una acción. Por lo tanto, un ordenador es una máquina que ordena u organiza los datos, en el sentido de que sustituye a las carpetas físicas y al montón de papeleo.

Brazilian Portuguese is very stylish & soothing as compared to Portugal one. As i observed, Portuguese 🇵🇹 don't open their mouth much while speaking which is completely different from 🇧🇷 But similar to this video, Both the languages from 🇧🇷 & 🇵🇹 are pretty different. Not in general but the words are different which could make the sentence different as well. I don't know about grammar though. Are they similar or different?

I completely loved and enjoyed the video! I am from Mexico and I love the fact that Spanish is my mother tongue because we have tons of differences not only between Spain and Mexico but between all the Spanish-speaking countries. Andrea represented Mexico very well in this video because she knew, said and clarified some very accurate things about Mexican Spanish. It's not true that we can't understand the other Spanish-speaking countries. We can perfectly understand each other like an American or a British English speaker, it's the same language but with different accents. Word differences: 1:35: Computadora 🇲🇽, Ordenador 🇪🇸. Some other countries use "computador", like Chile and Perú; computadora is not a translation from English, we just take the same concept and adapt it in order to understand it in our language. In Mexico we say "mouse" for the device 🖱️ and "ratón" for the animal 🐁. 2:57: Yes, there's a swear word here (2:47). That word is "ρυτα", which means "ɰʜσʀε" or "s˥υτ". 3:24: Camarón 🇲🇽, Gamba 🇪🇸. We'd never say "gamba", but we understand its meaning. 3:59-4:05: No, haha, our national dish do are tacos, Andrea was just being hilarious. 4:06-4:15, 4:33-4:44: Hahaha, they were just freaked out when Andrea spoke fast, but yes, we natives naturally speak that fast. 4:47: Jugo 🇲🇽, Zumo 🇪🇸. 5:04-5:15: we don't even say "zumo" but we will pronounce it "sumo", not "thumo". This 'cause in all of Latin America (not just Mexico) the "z" (and "c" before "e" or "i") sound the same as the "s". In Spain those letters sound like the "th" in English. And yes, we sometimes have trouble to pronounce that. The word "sumo" means the same in English and both Spain and Mexico (and Latin America). 6:12: Elote 🇲🇽, Maíz 🇪🇸. Okay, let's clarify something: in Mexico, "maíz" means "corn" and "elote" means "corn on the cob/corncob" (the Spanish word "mazorca" is the standard word for "corn on the cob", "elote" is just a Mexican word. In Argentina they say "choclo"). I think Andrea said "elote" because she saw corncobs, but here (Mexico) corn in general is "maíz", not "elote". 6:30-6:45: Yes, "elote" is also the name of a Mexican dish, like Callie mentioned, but that dish's full name is "elote preparado" (Mexican street corn), we just shorten the name to "elote". 6:45-6:57: Ok, there's another Mexican corn dish called "esquite" or "esquites" ("chemice" doesn't exist. Andrea just forgot the word), but that dish is very different and it consists of boiled corn kernels served in a cup with mayo, lime and other ingredients plus some spicy sauce and/or chilli powder. That dish is the one that's known differently depending on what part of Mexico you are. In some places they say "esquite" or "esquites" and in some other places they say "elote en vaso" (corn in a cup). Andrea was thinking of THIS dish when explaining to Callie, but Callie was thinking of the "elote preparado".

[@gabialbalansi]

Not everybody in Spain speaks with the "th" sound. They don't use it in Andalucía or canary islands either... That explains why u dont use the "th" sound in latinoamerica, cause most of the spanish colonizers came from those regions... And in those regions they don't speak any other romance dialect. If they spoke another dialect too, maybe you wouldn't be speaking Spanish today in latinoamerica. Maybe it could've been catalan or valencian language...

Every Spanish-speaker must be careful while traveling because one word can have many different meanings and some are very vulgar. Soy estadounidense que vivó en México por casi dos años y que sabe hablar español con fluidez y con un acento mexicano. Tengo un montón de historias bien chistosas sobre cuando yo hablaba español con otros latinos y españoles. Cada hispanohablante debe tener mucho cuidado cuando anda de viaje porque cada palabra pueda tener muchos significados y unos son bien vulgares.

In Germany Computer is Rechner (also Calculator) while in Sweden is Dator (like for Data). In Spanish, Calculator would be Calculadora, similar to the derivative Computer => Computadora (Latin American Spanish). Ordenador (Spanish) is (not surprisingly) similar to Ordinateur (French).

[@rojimyayang5857]

In Spain we use camarón as well. The difference is the size: small type is camarón, medium is gamba, Big is langostino and superbig is gambón. We even have a flamenco singer called Camarón. I dont know why the spanish Girl didnt say anything. And please, somebody can explain to Andrea that the sound z is more soft? She looks like a american trying to do the r sound, tooo much strong... It sound ugly because she is doing It badly on purpose. México has many words from their neighboroughs usa and the mexican natives, but Spain has many words from their neighboroughs France, and other languages as Italian, greek, árab and romaní. Thats the big difference.

Nice video! I’m from Spain and I can understand Spanish speaking person with no problem unless it is super slang. In Spain we understand all Spanish accents but it depends on the person’s background who you are talking to. Also, I know this cuz I’m a language nerd, in Spain we have many accents and two major Spanish varieties: northern and Southern. In the north, we differentiate the sound S and Z, in the south some areas do, some don’t in general) and in the Canary Islands they don’t have the sound z. Also, in the south and Canary Islands, their vocabulary is way more similar to the Latin American Spanish, for example in the Canary Islands they say jugo not zumo, or guaga not bus.

[@redl1ner170]

In the Canary Islands they say "zumo", not "jugo".

Fellow Americans (& other non Spanish speakers), the Spanish speaking community would like to address the fact there’s a whole lot more to Spanish than what the stereotypical Mexico & Spain, that you have been accustomed to. For most of you, those are the main countries to come to mind whenever you think of the language. The same happens when it comes to English. Even though, there’s many english speaking countries, The U.S. & Britain (England) are the most commonly portrayed by media outlets. That being said, even though each and everyone share the same basic roots of their native language, doesn’t mean they’ll be identical. It all varies by regions/locations, social economic status, education, etc. Hope this helps your understanding of the broader world. 🌈 🌟

1:54 You say ordenador because a "computer" is a machine that follows so called instructions, which are orders. Same word is used in French. Here in Sweden, a "computer" is a _dator,_ which kind of means "data-motor". And "computer science" is therefore _datalogi_ (emphasis on the last syllable).

For those who don't know... _ordenador_ is from the Latin _ordo_ literally "command, arrange, file, class, row, tier"...it share the same root as _order._ So a _computer_ in Latin is not just something that counts but arranges things in order, files them, commands, and arranges in rows and columns...not too far from the concept of the military. Also _computadora_ is simply a variant form of _computer_ and neither are English words but, are derived from the Latin _computare_ literally _com-_ "together" + _putare_ "to reckon". It's important to know that modern English is a hybrid language with many Latin and Greek loan words, mixed with a bit of French, Hebrew, Hindu, etc. The actual English words are closer to Germanic and Norse languages.

[@jandron94]

ordenador comes from French ordinateur, the word ordinateur was contrived by a French engineer who used the Latin derived French "rare" verb "ordiner". Also modern English is not mixed with a bit of French, it is made of a lot of Old French and French derived words (a minimum of 25%).

[@jeremycastro9700]

@@jandron94 This would be true if the French dominated Rome...but history shows it was quite the opposite. The French are from the Gauls who were also made up of Celts. That said what you've shown is that modern French simply transliterated the same Latin word. French itself is more a dialect than an actual language because it's origins stem from Latin mixed with Gaellic...and later started borrowing words from other Germanic languages as time went on...your claim is like me saying my first name _Jeremy_ is an "English name" when in reality it is an Anglicized form of the Hebrew _Yeremyahu._ The same logic applies to the alphabet which many falsely call the "English alphabet" when in reality we've been using Latin/Roman letters.

Elote is the Nahuatl word elotl specifically for corn on the cob while maíz is corn in general. But once it's roasted in a pan, it's called esquite from the Nahuatl word izquitl. And Mexico has many many words for corn because corn comes from Mexico and became a pre-Columbian staple food for literally the entire western hemisphere via trade. Corn would travel south from the Mexica and potatoes (papas or patatas) would travel north from the Inca. And tobacco and turkeys would travel south from the Lakota and Apache and corn and chocolate would travel north.
