Hey everyone! Hope you liked seeing Chile represented 🇨🇱 As you can tell I wasn't on set that day so saddly I couldn't do the ending of the video. Also due to the unexpected weather the day (snow) we had to change up the date scebe a bit. Originally they were supposed to make out in the park 😂 But with snow that might have looked kind of weird. Anyways hope you liked it! We are taking a short break and will see you in the New Year with more series and a ton of new videos!! Hugs, Marina
As a Chilean, I can confirm many things about this. 1. This is true. 2. About first date, this is true. We do not drink Piscola (Pisco+Cola, Cola is Coke) like that, not everyone drinks. We may drink piscola when we meet friends, in parties and things like that. 3. "Mi chanchita"-> "My little pig". (Chanchita comes from "chancha", and "chancha" is the femenine version of a pig). It is indeed used as a "cute" term and it does not mean any offense. 4. This is true! If you're dating a Chilean, don't say that that Chilean is your boyfriend or girlfriend in Spanish (novio/novia), as that stage is for before marriage. 5. Hotdogs are indeed what we call "Completos". As an additional note, He says: "Le ponís el pan...", and the proper way to say it is "(Tú) le pones el pan...". We tend to misuse verbal forms, and it is very common. About sexual references, we call those "tallas en doble sentido" (doubled way jokes). 6. I am not sure about being touchy, as I am very very introverted. But yes, Chilean Spanish is a whole new Spanish hahahahaha 7. This happens a lot. 8. Soccer is a thing for Chileans. Chileans tend to be very passionate about soccer, specially about Chilean team. The dude says: "C'mon motherfucker, hit the ball you [weon], [Puta la wea]... Look at that, agh...... look, look, look, look look look GOAL motherfuckers". "Weon" means a lot of things. It can be used as a noun, as an offense, or to refer to anyone in good or bad terms. "Wea" means also a lot of things, and it means "an object", "a thing". "Puta la wea" is like, "Aw, damn, that shit", and it is an expression. Chileans tend to use a lot of these kind of words, but you must know "weon" and "wea" if you want to come to Chile. Thanks for the video, it was awesome!
As a Chilan i was waiting SO LONG for this video and .... 1 - Yeeeah...we can flirt but not ask like RIGHT NOW the number 2 - I agree with the fist date (not the piscola tho, not everyone drinks) 3 - Yeeeeah...true (sometimes) 4 - True 5 - I'm not a drinking guy but....yeeeeah nasty minds 6 - True 7 - Breaking up is and getting back a lot i don't know if its common (mostly toxic) but yes...we are kinda passionate
I don't know why, but I always find Chilean men so attractive! They can be so charming and funny at the same time. I have a Chilean coworker and his exactly like that.
Yep we are a quirky bunch, a bit of an outlier within the Latin stereotype yet can be very witty, funny, passionate, loyal and caring once we get close. We can easily laugh at ourselves and make good use of some creative sarcasm as part of our own humor. Overall we Chileans rarely go unnoticed as there is always something that distinguishes us from the rest....and that is besides the way we speak!
Chilean guy here! Just wanted to add my two scents: 2A - It's the first time I see a Chilean person drinking piscola in the streets. Piscola is usually treated like whiskey: you don't drink it in public places, you drink it at parties or gatherings. Also, since drinking alcohol in public places is illegal in Chile, people don't drink like that (as portrayed in the video), or if they do, they'd only drink a beer. 2B - PDA is totally accepted in Chile, but I wouldn't say it's more common than in other South American countries. 5 - Chileans drink more than their neighbours (except for Argentina and Uruguay, according to recent surveys), but we are far behind the UK, Netherlands, Lithuania, Ireland, and other European countries. The sexual innuendos are associated with our sense of humour. 7 - Having traveled a lot and lived in different countries (especially in Europe), I'd say this one depends a lot on the countries you compare Chile with. Chileans, in my experience, are the least dramatic people in South America. I'd compare them to Southern French people when it comes to this. About breaking up and coming back together, it's definitely more common than in Nordic countries, but I don't think it's more common than in countries like Spain, so I wouldn't add it as a hallmark of Chilean people.
I was expecting for this video, it made me laugh a lot. Just a little correction: at least i haven't seen any person over 25 drinking piscola in a bottle (it's called mamadera) as a date.
Q: What do Mexicans, Colombians, Peruvians, Costa Ricans, Nicaraguans, Bolivians, Cubans, etc. have in common? A: They have a hard time understanding a Chilean when he or she is speaking Spanish.
I'm Peruvian, and I don't! I have a harder time understanding West Ecuadorians, Hondurans, East Peruvians, Central Ecuadorians, Buenos Aireans, Uruguayans, Nicaraguans, North Colombians, Canary Islanders, Andalucians, Catalonians, Puerto Ricans, West Venezuelans, East Venezuelans, Southwest Colombians, Coastal Mexicans, Amazonian Spanish Speakers and Central Argentinians then I do Chileans.
I have been waiting for a while finally. 1. This is true. We tend to 2. It's quite normal to see a lot of couples getting touchy even in public and when it comes to piscola (I LOVE IT), it's more of a party thing from family gathering like for example asados (bbq parties) even though you may see someone enjoy it on a park or even the beach. 3. The nicknames aren't supposed to be offensive in some ways, they are meant to be cute, just saying. 4. So true. You are pololeando (dating). 5. COMPLETOS ARE EVERYTHING!!!! 6. Not sure about this, but the Chilean Spanish is spot on. There's even a saying that goes like "If you're hearing someone speaking Spanish really fast and understand them, they are Dominican. If not, they are Chilean". 7. Like every Latinos, we tend to get dramatic sometimes. 8. Football is everything in Chile. Your relationship can be strained if you for example are supporting the rivals instead of the home teams (Universidad de Chile vs Colo-Colo for example). Whenever the National team plays, just be ready for a whole lot of swearing that only a Chilean can spit out. Overall, I am so happy for finally seeing this video being finally made. Para todos los chilenos: VIVA CHILE CTM!!!🇨🇱
As a Chilean woman, I agree with almost everything here. Great research Marina!!! Only in my experience, we haven´t drunk on the streets (I don´t drink at all) and I eat completos (aka Tocomples) with asparagus or palmitos instead of sausage (vegetarian). Breaking up and making up like that? looks a bit toxic, something I would watch on a teleserie, I haven´t had that kind of experience but maybe other people can identify with that? idk. Al chileno del video, excellent interpretación ctm, te banco, te hago un queque y te cargo la bip :) orgullo nacional e hijo ilustre.
Definitivamente este wn es hijo ilustre del país jajajaja, and about the breaking up and going back together, it is true culturally, yet not everyone is on the bote for that, but it is very common, we all know at least a couple of couples that are like that, and it is not normal in all cultures.
I'm half Chilean and I can definitely relate to the bit about Chileans not being forward and confident as far as courting someone (that's me 100%), and also giving people nicknames that seem insulting. I've given people tons of nicknames that offended them, even though I never meant it that way. In fact it almost got me physically attacked at work once 😬
I am so, so, so much like this, and yet I am Peruvian; Peruvian coastal culture is very Chilean-like, the Peruvian Andes on the other hand is a whole nother universe.
Peruvian people are so warm and kind. And yeah I noticed that Peruvian men do not fit the stereotypes of Latin American men - they're quite shy and sweet
Thank you Marina for this! I just wanted to say that I only agree with number 1 and the last one. The rest does not represent me neither the majority of my friends nor my relatives. I think there should be more research about it, especially from Chileans who live in other regions such as the south (from Temuco southwards). Anyway, thank you so much for including us in your channel! My wife is British and she backs me up in what I’m saying. We are fans of this channel
I discovered that Chilean people don't make the first move when finding the person they're attracted to. And there's no Chilean language it's Spanish they speak.
Yeah but Spanish differs greatly depending on the country, you can't compare Mexican Spanish to Spanish spoken in the Caribbean, Any Latino can tell you that the Chilean dialect is very hard to understand even for someone whose completely fluent in Spanish.
She should have known that the woman was his cousin since the moment he called her "cabra chica" wich basically is like calling someome "kiddo" in chile. You can't get more platonic than that😂
Out of curiosity, do you think the different groups should be addressed? Because I've met one Afrikaner vs another that was 'black'. Now, I don't know about the cultural nuances, but I felt it was different. I guess much the same in USA and pretty much any colonized country, maybe.
- It's true, we are reserved/shy when we first meet a girl, we're low profile in that respect, nothing like cubans or colombians. Although, when we feel that the ice is broken, we are very affectionate. - That way of drinking piscola in such a concealed way is used when attending concerts or sport matches, and just a few people do it. - Yeah, most of people are touchy with their friends and relatives, that's true, that's quite latino and phillipino as well. But, when being with the girlfriend, we take some distance. When we see our partner too close with other people we try to "pee the situation" (mark territory) in a gently way, like holding hands, taking part of the conversation or hughing the girlfriend so that the others notice that she's taken. - Most of my friends and I don't like the drama, we don't make a big deal of meaningless things, but yes, some people are drama queens and kings.
This woman name Elizabeth is so lucky to date Jose, a young man from Chilean. My favorite part of the video is when he says Hot Dogs with mustard, relish, tops, and ketchup in Chile: "Coplate-O". : )
Piscola is not the only drink we have , we also have Ron Cola (rum and Coke) , Melvin (wine served in a melon ) and choco Ron (Rum and chocolate milk ) . Yeah we have lots of different drink mixtures! 2. If you come to visit us in March, April , June, etc , it's not as interesting ....as in SEPTEMBER!!....you'll have a lot of fun, streets , shops and even cars are decorated with Chilean flags and symbols and everything is turn into red, white and blue , because it's our NATIONAL PARTIES (yes , I said PARTIES) because usually is almost a whole week's celebration. You go to places called Fonda's and you can taste all kind of Chilean food (completo is just one of them) and drink something called terremoto (earthquake in Spanish) , it's called that way because after a drink you get shaky like being experiencing one 😂😂😂 Well , chao cabros (bye guys )
Wow, I dated a Chilean for eight years and a lot of this matches up with my experience. I was especially interested to hear about certain things that I had thought were personality traits of my boyfriend in particular that turned out to be typical Chilean behaviors, like the relative shyness in approaching a woman. Yup! But there were a few things that diverged from my experience: I've never heard of “piscola.” He just drank ordinary stuff that I'd heard about. I never heard of, or saw, a “completo.” He and his family made a lot of rice and meat, and he told me that that a beet and cauliflower salad (which he made for me a couple of times) and certain pumpkin soup were two distinctive Chilean dishes. (He also happened to love Chinese food.) Our first "date" was...unusual. We were just friends and he had invited me to stay overnight at Virginia Beach along with his sister and brother. I’d thought that was a bit quaint but had assumed that Chilean culture was more family-oriented than the US’s (which it is) and that group outings might be a form of early “date” for them, as it is in some other cultures. But the night before the trip, he called to tell me it "turned out that his brother and sister could not come." Since I wanted to be his girlfriend anyway, I didn't object and assumed that his initial plans had been a ruse to get me to feel comfortable about going. Much later, he told me that his sister and brother really were planning to come originally but then opted out to give him and me alone time with the hope that we might get romantic. Once our trip began, I could see he was uncomfortable about "asking me out," and quite a few hours passed once we got to Virginia Beach (a couple hours' drive from us) before he suddenly, offhandedly slipped me the question as we were sitting on the hotel couch. When it came time to go to bed, he excused himself and when he came back, he reeked of cigarette smoke. I was shocked and repelled because I hadn't even known he smoked, and except for that once, I don't know of any time that he ever did. Later, he told me he was feeling nervous and that's why he slipped out for this most uncharacteristic smoke. He never called me "chanchita" and he didn't call me "gordita" that much, either. I guess he did call me “dijita” a lot, though-I had always heard it as “jita” and never did check out what it meant. He would often call me "mi dijita linda" ("my pretty old woman"), and every once in a while, he'd refer to me as "mi vieja," (“my old woman”) which he explained to me is another term of endearment. Instead of "gordita," he'd call me "flaquita" ("skinny little lady"), one of his favorite expressions for me (I guess because I really was skinny), along with "reina" ("queen"). At the beginning, he would also sometimes call me "princesa' ("princess") but eventually "reina" took over completely. "Mi tiernecita” (“sweet little one”) was another term he’d use, and “mi reina preciosa" ("precious queen"), "mi flaquita bonita" ("pretty skinny one"), and “mi reina, linda, preciosa” were common embellishments of his. I was kind of disappointed once when I listened to a Spanish radio show and heard the announcer throwing these terms around when talking with people who called in. Here I had thought they were special terms that my boyfriend had come up with just for me! (I don’t even think this announcer was Chilean.) I had heard of some of the “stages” referred to in this video, but my boyfriend didn’t talk about them that much. Ever since we started going out, he referred to me as “mi novia,” even though we never had any desire to marry each other-contrary to what the video says. I don’t remember a lot of sexual innuendo in talk, but maybe I’m just blocking that from my memory? Lol. I also don’t remember him being touchy with other female relatives, even though I spent quite a bit of time with him when some of his sisters were around. Also, I was really interested to hear that breaking up and making up is common with Chileans and is considered a means of bringing some drama into life. In our eight years together, my guy broke up with me three times and made up twice (tried for three), but unlike in the video, he didn’t get all angry and dramatic about the breakups; they were more matter-of-fact, and the reunions were that way, too. The “relaxing right after making up” did ring true-back to his old bad habits right away! I considered his third breakup of his to be a strikeout and told him so…maybe he wasn't prepared for this reaction, because for years afterwards, he would call me up once or twice a year (often on Christmas) to remind me of all the great times we had together and how wonderful he was, to ask me to go out with him again, to ignore all my objections and complaints, and to say dramatically, "Me repiento mil veces" (I repent a thousand times) for having broken up with me. Weirdly, he came to my house several months after our breakup when he’d been scratched brutally by his next girlfriend, to see if I had any medicine I could give him because he didn’t want his sisters to get involved. He also called me up once, about five years after we’d broken up, when he was with a later girlfriend…he went so far as to get her to talk to me on the phone, very amiably (and tell me how wonderful he was). I’m not sure if this fits into typical Chilean behavior somehow, but it definitely felt like boundary-blurring to me. One other distinguishing characteristic of this guy was his propensity to lie (transparently) for convenience. When I confronted him about it, he called them "white lies" and said it was a result of his impoverished upbringing, in which it was often necessary to do that just to get what you needed. I know his brother was this way, too. I’m wondering if this might be another common Chilean trait, or at least for the poorer ones? Oh, also--his whole family loved to dance! But only to Latin music.
Wow that's a nice story. But yeah, lot's of chileans (men and women) are like that, a little bit toxic and not knowing their boundaries. About the lies, it's like a trait of us that I'm not proud at all, people most of the time come with excuses or lies for being late, failing on some responsability, etc; or even to be able to overcome something in a certain situation. But, I know there is a lot of people with good values who don't lie when is something that really matters, and we are really good detecting lies because we tend to use them a lot in small things, so when someone try to trick us that person get caught fast. I apologize for this chilean to keep bothering you even years laters, is just a thing of him, not something typical of all of us. Is true that sometimes we try again a couple of times, but this guy that you are speaking of is just someone with no dignity and no respect for you.
@@gaboxetix Thanks for the feedback--it's good for me to get another perspective on these experiences to help me separate what was just this man's personality and what is typically Chilean! It's true that it must be hard to have a whole culture of people who tell lies because they will all surely become pretty good at seeing through each other! I forgot one key story about a lie my old boyfriend told. I had asked him before we even started going out if he had any kids (he'd told me he was divorced) and he said no. Then, two years later, on Christmas day, he confessed that he'd said that only because he was afraid that if he said yes I wouldn't have wanted to go out with him, but he actually had two grown daughters from a previous marriage! He'd started to feel bad because holding in the lie had been causing his feelings of guilt to come out sideways in abrasive behavior. Anyway, that was a lie about "something that really mattered," but I was proud of him for at last being brave enough to tell the truth even when I never would have known otherwise and when he might have a lot to lose. That's sweet of you to apologize for a man you don't even know--but I'll take it! I agree, I don't think that his behavior of bothering me for years after about getting back together showed dignity or respect. But he did finally move on completely, so that's good.
@@starshine6472 Thank you for sharing your history! It's amazing for me to know how people from other cultures see us and their perspective on our customs. Wow that's a big thing he was hiding, and I believe that him thinking that you wouldn't want to go out with him for that reason speaks more what he would have done if the situation was reserved, which is something a lot of men do in general, don't want to date someone with kids. But yes, I we have to give him credit for telling the truth in the end. Hahaha of course, is the least I can do after you share your experience and I hear what my countryman was doing. I'm glad that he moved on and you can keep without bother.
I read this whole story and made me think. White lies are really common but the food you mention shocked me the most. Not completos? And that salad is not a common thing also the vague description of the soup Im assuming is cazuela. Makes me think if it was really chilean (from Chile, not from chilean parents) lmao. Also your spanish confused me like what is dijita? Either way seems like you missed a lot in the chilean culture, either he didn't show it much or you were not that interested on it and for us our culture is quite important in the end. Was nice to read your story.
@@BunnyFoooFoo Thank you for reading my lo-oo-oong story! I usually don't go on and on like that, but I thought I might as well be as thorough about my impressions as I could, as a sort of an anthropological record. The video said that "dijita" means "old lady." (Maybe it's a slang term? I don't see it in my Collins Spanish dictionary). But as I said, I'm not sure if this is what my boyfriend was actually saying. And I never actually tasted the pumpkin soup he spoke of--I'm not sure he ever even made it, he just mentioned it to me once. He was born and lived in Valparaiso, Chile, worked in the Chilean Marines for a number of years, and then came to the US in his early thirties (I met him when he was 42)--so he was a bit Americanized, but not that much. He sometimes would tell me various word usages or words that were unique to Chile, including "gallo" (for Chileans, "guy") and "guata" ("belly"), as in the expression, "Guata llena, corazón contenta." ("Full belly, happy heart.") Maybe there are regional variations in Chilean culture which would account for some of the disparities you noted? Because I have no doubt that this guy was from Chile. He was quite patriotic and decorated his bedroom once with a big Chilean flag and masses of silk copihue flowers (the national flower of Chile). And when he went there to visit once, he brought me back various distinctive Chilean gifts like local types of dried seaweed, harina tostada (toasted wheat flour cereal), a llama doll with a colorful woven saddle, and an Equeco doll (a folkloric figure that is supposed to bring luck and prosperity to the home). I was definitely interested in the Chilean culture (as I am in all cultures). We were both glad to get a concentrated dose one day when I accompanied him to a local Chilean festival, where we got to enjoy traditional dancing, music, a game, crafts, and food.
Actually Chilean population's got a good education level, compared with other South American countries. Don't expect to find an illetrate or ignorant chilean ... just doesn't exist.
That guy is what we would call a greedy guy if he does not spend money on a good dinner, especially on your first date, and after it. If you met a guy like that you did not meet the right guy.
Jajajajaj es tan cierto 🤣❤️. Por eso, ahora cuando la gente extranjera me pregunta "De dónde es el pisco?" Yo les digo: "Es de Chile y Perú 🌚🌝". Qué viva nuestra Latinoamérica😍
FIRST OF ALL 1: Not all chileans eat completos 2: Not all chileans speak loud 3: Not all chileans says ''Chanchita, gordita, brujita'' to their girlfriend 4: Not all chileans are unorganized and skip to plan in good time The list can be long, but i dont want to step on someones toes 🤣 Oh and not all chilean guys wear earings thats for sure! A Chilean/Swede👋
It is obvious, they are trying to depict cultural norms, or things that you may get in a Chilean boyfriend, but everyone is a little different. From a Chilean ♥️
Three corrections here: Men CAN'T flirt, it's forbidden (you have to create a lot of confidence to do that). And yes, we use to say 'tirando' but it's not as popular as 'culiando' hehe. And pisco? Hell no, there exist casual and special drinks. _Piscola_ is a special one.
The truth is that the girl does not have a typical Chilean appearance. I think that is the vision that Europeans have about the typical appearance of a Chilean.
Other countrys of south america: Jaja we speak spanish and understand each other Chile: *says literally anything* Other speaking spanish country: YOU DAMN GYPSES WHAT HELL ARE YOU SAYING....
Hey everyone! Hope you liked seeing Chile represented 🇨🇱 As you can tell I wasn't on set that day so saddly I couldn't do the ending of the video.

"Weon" means a lot of things. It can be used as a noun, as an offense, or to refer to anyone in good or bad terms. "Wea" means also a lot of things, and it means "an object", "a thing". "Puta la wea" is like, "Aw, damn, that shit", and it is an expression. Chileans tend to use a lot of these kind of words, but you must know "weon" and "wea" if you want to come to Chile.
Thanks for the video, it was awesome!

Thank you for this comment! Love the information you gave very helpful and fun!
El pisco es chileno

Segun google
Sorry but I only agree with number 1 and 8. The rest does not represent me neither most of my friends and relatives.
Dont count me in on that i never look at soccer and i ABSOLUTE never will even try el pisco or wear a earring like that dude 🤣

You know you're dating a Chilean man when he says Wea at the end of each sentence
I was expecting for this video, it made me laugh a lot. Just a little correction: at least i haven't seen any person over 25 drinking piscola in a bottle (it's called mamadera) as a date.
In fairness, the characters here look very young, university age or immediately after so maybe that might still be a thing in their case.

I have a hard time understanding Chileans and Cubans
To say nothing of Spaniards not from Andalucía.
JO my guy our dialect its called Chilensis and we are prety much like the gypsis of SA so yeah is hard
I have been waiting for a while finally.
1. This is true. We tend to
2. It's quite normal to see a lot of couples getting touchy even in public and when it comes to piscola (I LOVE IT), it's more of a party thing from family gathering like for example asados (bbq parties) even though you may see someone enjoy it on a park or even the beach.

6. Not sure about this, but the Chilean Spanish is spot on. There's even a saying that goes like "If you're hearing someone speaking Spanish really fast and understand them, they are Dominican. If not, they are Chilean".
7. Like every Latinos, we tend to get dramatic sometimes.
8. Football is everything in Chile. Your relationship can be strained if you for example are supporting the rivals instead of the home teams (Universidad de Chile vs Colo-Colo for example). Whenever the National team plays, just be ready for a whole lot of swearing that only a Chilean can spit out.
Overall, I am so happy for finally seeing this video being finally made.
Para todos los chilenos: VIVA CHILE CTM!!!🇨🇱
I kinda want a Chilean boyfriend now
You should stick with white boys better
Como te llamas
As a Chilean woman, I agree with almost everything here. Great research Marina!!!
Only in my experience, we haven´t drunk on the streets (I don´t drink at all) and I eat completos (aka Tocomples) with asparagus or palmitos instead of sausage (vegetarian). Breaking up and making up like that? looks a bit toxic, something I would watch on a teleserie, I haven´t had that kind of experience but maybe other people can identify with that? idk. Al chileno del video, excellent interpretación ctm, te banco, te hago un queque y te cargo la bip :) orgullo nacional e hijo ilustre.
Jajajajajajajaja
thats not a completo, thats some vegan degeneracy :)
Definitivamente este wn es hijo ilustre del país jajajaja, and about the breaking up and going back together, it is true culturally, yet not everyone is on the bote for that, but it is very common, we all know at least a couple of couples that are like that, and it is not normal in all cultures.
The terms of endearment made me laugh so much! In Venezuela, we also sound like love insults! 😆😆😆
I'm half Chilean and I can definitely relate to the bit about Chileans not being forward and confident as far as courting someone (that's me 100%), and also giving people nicknames that seem insulting. I've given people tons of nicknames that offended them, even though I never meant it that way. In fact it almost got me physically attacked at work once 😬
I'm Chilean! I liked the video, it's a lot of fun! I would love to be able to participate in a video of yours !! 😄🇨🇱
Experimentemos
We are the best country of Chile, brother!

Chileans are really lovely and heartwarming people, hope go to Chile in a near future. Greetings from Arica, Turkmenistan
I am so, so, so much like this, and yet I am Peruvian; Peruvian coastal culture is very Chilean-like, the Peruvian Andes on the other hand is a whole nother universe.
... I think that if I ever suggested that to my (Limeña) wife I would need to duck quickly. ;)
es verdad weón, con los peruanos nos parecemos mucho. de eso me di cuenta recién con la llegada de los caribeños a Chile.
Peruvian people are so warm and kind. And yeah I noticed that Peruvian men do not fit the stereotypes of Latin American men - they're quite shy and sweet
I came as soon as I saw the notification :) thank you Marina..you really paid attention to your subscribers' thoughts..
I hope to seek refuge in your country. I, my daughters and my husband want life, safety, and a future for my daughters 💕💕💕💕
Please, you and your family is welcome ! Jesus loves you
Thank you Marina for this! I just wanted to say that I only agree with number 1 and the last one. The rest does not represent me neither the majority of my friends nor my relatives. I think there should be more research about it, especially from Chileans who live in other regions such as the south (from Temuco southwards). Anyway, thank you so much for including us in your channel!
My wife is British and she backs me up in what I’m saying.
We are fans of this channel
I discovered that Chilean people don't make the first move when finding the person they're attracted to. And there's no Chilean language it's Spanish they speak.
Yeah but Spanish differs greatly depending on the country, you can't compare Mexican Spanish to Spanish spoken in the Caribbean, Any Latino can tell you that the Chilean dialect is very hard to understand even for someone whose completely fluent in Spanish.
They are impossible pronouncers: they speak Spanish but we can hardly understand them.
@@kotaniyumiko I get you there. Chilean Spanish has a different accent than the others in Latin America.
She should have known that the woman was his cousin since the moment he called her "cabra chica" wich basically is like calling someome "kiddo" in chile. You can't get more platonic than that😂
Hilarious! Though true with other comments that pisco is only for parties and special occasions. Not a casual drink.
Can you please do a "You know you're dating a South African when..."
Out of curiosity, do you think the different groups should be addressed? Because I've met one Afrikaner vs another that was 'black'. Now, I don't know about the cultural nuances, but I felt it was different. I guess much the same in USA and pretty much any colonized country, maybe.
@@silveryfeather208 probably hey. There are definitely some cultural nuances amongst the different groups
Nice touch having Claudio Palma on TV
Chilean men are passionate lovers 🥰
How do i know?
- It's true, we are reserved/shy when we first meet a girl, we're low profile in that respect, nothing like cubans or colombians. Although, when we feel that the ice is broken, we are very affectionate.
- That way of drinking piscola in such a concealed way is used when attending concerts or sport matches, and just a few people do it.
- Yeah, most of people are touchy with their friends and relatives, that's true, that's quite latino and phillipino as well. But, when being with the girlfriend, we take some distance.
When we see our partner too close with other people we try to "pee the situation" (mark territory) in a gently way, like holding hands, taking part of the conversation or hughing the girlfriend so that the others notice that she's taken.
- Most of my friends and I don't like the drama, we don't make a big deal of meaningless things, but yes, some people are drama queens and kings.
I love how football, food & drinks are ingrained into every man - no matter the nationality 😂💗
well this how it works
@@shvabzee Clearly I'm not a man, then xD.
I think you should put what arguments are like with different cultures in all future videos 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
This woman name Elizabeth is so lucky to date Jose, a young man from Chilean. My favorite part of the video is when he says Hot Dogs with mustard, relish, tops, and ketchup in Chile: "Coplate-O". : )
completo
@@sdomecqm oh. Thanks for the correction spelling. 👍😀
Piscola is not the only drink we have , we also have Ron Cola (rum and Coke) , Melvin (wine served in a melon ) and choco Ron (Rum and chocolate milk ) . Yeah we have lots of different drink mixtures!
2. If you come to visit us in March, April , June, etc , it's not as interesting ....as in SEPTEMBER!!....you'll have a lot of fun, streets , shops and even cars are decorated with Chilean flags and symbols and everything is turn into red, white and blue , because it's our NATIONAL PARTIES (yes , I said PARTIES) because usually is almost a whole week's celebration. You go to places called Fonda's and you can taste all kind of Chilean food (completo is just one of them) and drink something called terremoto (earthquake in Spanish) , it's called that way because after a drink you get shaky like being experiencing one 😂😂😂
Well , chao cabros (bye guys )
Chilean here. The cousin thing is absolutely true and gringos typically don't get it. We are an affectionate touchy people, nothing weird, relax.
It's weird..lol
I haven’t watched these in SO long. I love this channel. ☺️
The guy looks so cute! Thank you for the video marina
My past relationship makes so much sense now.
Can you do one about Chinese men?
omg i actually matched with Jose on a dating app once
OMG
@@eldesconocido5734 haha I know! He's cute
Small world
Wow, I dated a Chilean for eight years and a lot of this matches up with my experience. I was especially interested to hear about certain things that I had thought were personality traits of my boyfriend in particular that turned out to be typical Chilean behaviors, like the relative shyness in approaching a woman. Yup! But there were a few things that diverged from my experience:
I've never heard of “piscola.” He just drank ordinary stuff that I'd heard about. I never heard of, or saw, a “completo.” He and his family made a lot of rice and meat, and he told me that that a beet and cauliflower salad (which he made for me a couple of times) and certain pumpkin soup were two distinctive Chilean dishes. (He also happened to love Chinese food.)
Our first "date" was...unusual. We were just friends and he had invited me to stay overnight at Virginia Beach along with his sister and brother. I’d thought that was a bit quaint but had assumed that Chilean culture was more family-oriented than the US’s (which it is) and that group outings might be a form of early “date” for them, as it is in some other cultures. But the night before the trip, he called to tell me it "turned out that his brother and sister could not come." Since I wanted to be his girlfriend anyway, I didn't object and assumed that his initial plans had been a ruse to get me to feel comfortable about going. Much later, he told me that his sister and brother really were planning to come originally but then opted out to give him and me alone time with the hope that we might get romantic. Once our trip began, I could see he was uncomfortable about "asking me out," and quite a few hours passed once we got to Virginia Beach (a couple hours' drive from us) before he suddenly, offhandedly slipped me the question as we were sitting on the hotel couch. When it came time to go to bed, he excused himself and when he came back, he reeked of cigarette smoke. I was shocked and repelled because I hadn't even known he smoked, and except for that once, I don't know of any time that he ever did. Later, he told me he was feeling nervous and that's why he slipped out for this most uncharacteristic smoke.
He never called me "chanchita" and he didn't call me "gordita" that much, either. I guess he did call me “dijita” a lot, though-I had always heard it as “jita” and never did check out what it meant. He would often call me "mi dijita linda" ("my pretty old woman"), and every once in a while, he'd refer to me as "mi vieja," (“my old woman”) which he explained to me is another term of endearment. Instead of "gordita," he'd call me "flaquita" ("skinny little lady"), one of his favorite expressions for me (I guess because I really was skinny), along with "reina" ("queen"). At the beginning, he would also sometimes call me "princesa' ("princess") but eventually "reina" took over completely. "Mi tiernecita” (“sweet little one”) was another term he’d use, and “mi reina preciosa" ("precious queen"), "mi flaquita bonita" ("pretty skinny one"), and “mi reina, linda, preciosa” were common embellishments of his. I was kind of disappointed once when I listened to a Spanish radio show and heard the announcer throwing these terms around when talking with people who called in. Here I had thought they were special terms that my boyfriend had come up with just for me! (I don’t even think this announcer was Chilean.)
I had heard of some of the “stages” referred to in this video, but my boyfriend didn’t talk about them that much. Ever since we started going out, he referred to me as “mi novia,” even though we never had any desire to marry each other-contrary to what the video says.
I don’t remember a lot of sexual innuendo in talk, but maybe I’m just blocking that from my memory? Lol.
I also don’t remember him being touchy with other female relatives, even though I spent quite a bit of time with him when some of his sisters were around.
Also, I was really interested to hear that breaking up and making up is common with Chileans and is considered a means of bringing some drama into life. In our eight years together, my guy broke up with me three times and made up twice (tried for three), but unlike in the video, he didn’t get all angry and dramatic about the breakups; they were more matter-of-fact, and the reunions were that way, too. The “relaxing right after making up” did ring true-back to his old bad habits right away! I considered his third breakup of his to be a strikeout and told him so…maybe he wasn't prepared for this reaction, because for years afterwards, he would call me up once or twice a year (often on Christmas) to remind me of all the great times we had together and how wonderful he was, to ask me to go out with him again, to ignore all my objections and complaints, and to say dramatically, "Me repiento mil veces" (I repent a thousand times) for having broken up with me.
Weirdly, he came to my house several months after our breakup when he’d been scratched brutally by his next girlfriend, to see if I had any medicine I could give him because he didn’t want his sisters to get involved. He also called me up once, about five years after we’d broken up, when he was with a later girlfriend…he went so far as to get her to talk to me on the phone, very amiably (and tell me how wonderful he was). I’m not sure if this fits into typical Chilean behavior somehow, but it definitely felt like boundary-blurring to me.
One other distinguishing characteristic of this guy was his propensity to lie (transparently) for convenience. When I confronted him about it, he called them "white lies" and said it was a result of his impoverished upbringing, in which it was often necessary to do that just to get what you needed. I know his brother was this way, too. I’m wondering if this might be another common Chilean trait, or at least for the poorer ones?
Oh, also--his whole family loved to dance! But only to Latin music.
Wow that's a nice story.
But yeah, lot's of chileans (men and women) are like that, a little bit toxic and not knowing their boundaries.
About the lies, it's like a trait of us that I'm not proud at all, people most of the time come with excuses or lies for being late, failing on some responsability, etc; or even to be able to overcome something in a certain situation. But, I know there is a lot of people with good values who don't lie when is something that really matters, and we are really good detecting lies because we tend to use them a lot in small things, so when someone try to trick us that person get caught fast.
I apologize for this chilean to keep bothering you even years laters, is just a thing of him, not something typical of all of us. Is true that sometimes we try again a couple of times, but this guy that you are speaking of is just someone with no dignity and no respect for you.
@@gaboxetix Thanks for the feedback--it's good for me to get another perspective on these experiences to help me separate what was just this man's personality and what is typically Chilean! It's true that it must be hard to have a whole culture of people who tell lies because they will all surely become pretty good at seeing through each other!
I forgot one key story about a lie my old boyfriend told. I had asked him before we even started going out if he had any kids (he'd told me he was divorced) and he said no. Then, two years later, on Christmas day, he confessed that he'd said that only because he was afraid that if he said yes I wouldn't have wanted to go out with him, but he actually had two grown daughters from a previous marriage! He'd started to feel bad because holding in the lie had been causing his feelings of guilt to come out sideways in abrasive behavior. Anyway, that was a lie about "something that really mattered," but I was proud of him for at last being brave enough to tell the truth even when I never would have known otherwise and when he might have a lot to lose.
That's sweet of you to apologize for a man you don't even know--but I'll take it! I agree, I don't think that his behavior of bothering me for years after about getting back together showed dignity or respect. But he did finally move on completely, so that's good.
@@starshine6472 Thank you for sharing your history! It's amazing for me to know how people from other cultures see us and their perspective on our customs.
Wow that's a big thing he was hiding, and I believe that him thinking that you wouldn't want to go out with him for that reason speaks more what he would have done if the situation was reserved, which is something a lot of men do in general, don't want to date someone with kids. But yes, I we have to give him credit for telling the truth in the end.
Hahaha of course, is the least I can do after you share your experience and I hear what my countryman was doing. I'm glad that he moved on and you can keep without bother.
I read this whole story and made me think. White lies are really common but the food you mention shocked me the most. Not completos? And that salad is not a common thing also the vague description of the soup Im assuming is cazuela. Makes me think if it was really chilean (from Chile, not from chilean parents) lmao. Also your spanish confused me like what is dijita? Either way seems like you missed a lot in the chilean culture, either he didn't show it much or you were not that interested on it and for us our culture is quite important in the end. Was nice to read your story.
@@BunnyFoooFoo Thank you for reading my lo-oo-oong story! I usually don't go on and on like that, but I thought I might as well be as thorough about my impressions as I could, as a sort of an anthropological record. The video said that "dijita" means "old lady." (Maybe it's a slang term? I don't see it in my Collins Spanish dictionary). But as I said, I'm not sure if this is what my boyfriend was actually saying. And I never actually tasted the pumpkin soup he spoke of--I'm not sure he ever even made it, he just mentioned it to me once. He was born and lived in Valparaiso, Chile, worked in the Chilean Marines for a number of years, and then came to the US in his early thirties (I met him when he was 42)--so he was a bit Americanized, but not that much. He sometimes would tell me various word usages or words that were unique to Chile, including "gallo" (for Chileans, "guy") and "guata" ("belly"), as in the expression, "Guata llena, corazón contenta." ("Full belly, happy heart.") Maybe there are regional variations in Chilean culture which would account for some of the disparities you noted? Because I have no doubt that this guy was from Chile. He was quite patriotic and decorated his bedroom once with a big Chilean flag and masses of silk copihue flowers (the national flower of Chile). And when he went there to visit once, he brought me back various distinctive Chilean gifts like local types of dried seaweed, harina tostada (toasted wheat flour cereal), a llama doll with a colorful woven saddle, and an Equeco doll (a folkloric figure that is supposed to bring luck and prosperity to the home). I was definitely interested in the Chilean culture (as I am in all cultures). We were both glad to get a concentrated dose one day when I accompanied him to a local Chilean festival, where we got to enjoy traditional dancing, music, a game, crafts, and food.
