In Spanish "Esperar" means both "to wait" AND "to hope" given the context, so they are indeed cognates :) Espero que tengas las llaves "i hope that you have the keys" Yo esperaba el tren "i was waiting for the train"
In Brazilian Portuguese: FATURA means a bill specifically for public resources like electricity,water,etc or for credit card bills. GALINHA is in fact the female one,the one that lays eggs.The other one is GALO,the colorful one that sings. FRANGO can mean both, when young or can mean the meat in the store. HOPE is "ESPERANÇA" where the "Ç" sounds like a soft S, while"ESPERAR" is "to wait",we can use it to mean "to hope" in some contexts. CHORO(with one R and a soft pronunciation) means "to cry while weeping" like young kids do. MÁQUINA(the exactly same pronunciation as Italian ) for us is any machine,like the washing machine is "máquina de lavar".
It's not EXACTLY the same because in italian they have double CC, so It's "Macchina" with a stronger C sound, which is different from the Portuguese one
@@Adriano-Marchesi Sim, mas em momento nenhum eu disse que eram palavras completamente diferentes. VOCÊ quem disse "the exactly same pronunciation" e eu te corrigi dizendo que não é literalmente EXATAMENTE a mesma pronúncia. Porém nunca disse que eram palavras completamente diferentes.

É muito mais bonito reconhecer o erro e mudar do que ser orgulhoso e inventar mentiras apenas para não assumir a culpa.
Also in Italian there is a correlation between "sperare" and "aspettare" (in passive form) to translate "to hope", the second one is more charged (almost you are sure about your expectation, or you really want something from someone), while "sperare" remains a generic hope. The main translation of "to hope" is the verb "sperare" (io spero di diventare ricco = I hope to become rich). If I use "aspettare" (mi aspetto di diventare ricco = I expect to become rich. This implies that I did something that probably will make me rich). I can use "aspettare" also to threat someone (mi aspetto la tua lealtà = I expect your loyalty).
To translate "TO WAIT" you can use "Esperar" or "Aguardar". To distinguish between "To wait" and "To hope" you can use a preposition. "que" for "that" - "Eu espero que/I hope that" and "por" for "for" - "Eu espero por ti aqui/I wait for you here".
Thats interesting, in spanish the to hope for is still “espero que”. But for waiting writing it like “yo espero por ti aqui” as a word for word translation of the Portuguese would be badly written and even be seen as like butchering of what the grammar would have to be like in spanish. One would have to say like “Aqui te espero”, or “te estare esperando aqui”. Its very interesting to see portuguese grammar sometimes because it does look a lot more peculiar at times from the things it lacks or the choices for what is correct vs spanish.
@metatron esperar also means to hope. From esperança in Portuguese and esperanza in Spanish In Portuguese there is another verb to wait, which is AGUARDAR. Which is more rarely used, too formal. And EXPECTAR, which is a word most population never heard being used.

I’ve been trying to learn it because my ancestors were from Italy. I am only fluent in American English. I think people learn Italian second if they are in fact descendants of the Italian diaspora snd would like to go back there regularly. Otherwise it’s useless. It’s beautiful though you are right! so is Sicilian and Neapolitan where my people come from. I think it would be so great to relearn the languages of my people. Pass it on to my kids.
Chorar is a slang word in Spanish meaning to steal. I'm surprised the Spanish girl didn't pick up on this. The verb 'to chore' is slang in many parts of England with the same meaning. It comes from the Romani language.
In Paraguay "factura" is a specific type of document, I've never seen it used as a general word for document but it is used in the expression "pasar(le) la factura" which means something like "to reclaim compensations" or "to reclaim favors due"
Portuguse R was the same as the sicilian one, but with time, people started vibrating tha back of the tongue to make the sound. So now, the R at the begining of the word and the RR, sound like a H, like in Caho or Hio de Janeiro.
I've been learning Portuguese for over a year now, and I've perceived four different distinct pronunciations for initial R/RR, but I still haven't committed to using only one of them, ha.
6:36 The spanish girl says she has never heard the word "ratero" meaning "thief", but that word does exist in Spain. Maybe it is a regional thing (she is catalan), or maybe she just hasn't heard it, but it is used in spanish from Spain. I am from the south and people here does use "ratero" to refer to thieves. It is very common.
In minute 6:40 (I give the times on Metatron's video), the word thief. In Spanish slang there are some slang words: chorizo (yes, as the meal), mangante... and before for shoes, Metatron said scarpe, in Spain we got "escarpines" but is an old word you can only read in some old books. In minute 9:40 factura in Spain is used specifically for a bill, the document you are given when you buy something expensive. In minute 12:50 gallina in Spain is female chicken as in Italian. Minute 13_45, in Spain to hope is said "tener esperaza". Sicilian strong sound for R is very similar to Spanish one, maybe because of our common story until XVIII century?
Belo and bela and belíssimo also exist in Portuguese, just used less commonly. The word beleza is much more commonly used however. Belo and bela are used a lot more in contexts not involving literal human beauty... Like a football play, a great grade in school, or even ironically when someone makes something wrong, fumbles at something... "Mas que bela merda" (what a beautiful shit)

@@An-kw3ec Yeah, that's right. Those loanwords are taken from Nahuatl and are used on a daily basis in Mexican Spanish. However, this is not the case in South America. For instance: Tomato: jitomate (Mex) -> tomate Peanut: cacahuate (Mex) -> maní Jaguar: ocelote (Mex) -> jaguar Turkey: guajolote (Mex) -> pavo Salamander: axolotl (Mex) -> renacuajo de rana o de salamandra Grasshopper: chapulín (Mex) -> saltamontes The same happens the other way around: Baby: bebé -> guagua (Chi, Per, Bol) from Quechua and Mapudungun Small farm: granja pequeña -> chacra (Chi, Arg, Per, Bol) from Quechua Boyfriend/girlfriend: novio/novia -> pololo/polola (Chi) from Mapudungun A small amount: un poquito, un cacho -> pichintún (Chi) from Mapudungun Orphan/stray: huérfano/abandonado -> guacho (Chi, Arg, Uru) from Quechua Fresh corn (the soft and tender one): choclo (Chi, Arg) from Quechua [similar to elote in Mexico] Chilli: guindilla (Spain) -> chile (Mex) -> ají (Chi, Per, Bol, Col, Ecu, Ven) from Taíno (Caribbean)
For "to hope" in spanish we use a lot the expresión "ojalá", which comes from "insha' Allah" ("if Allah wills") Ojalá mañana vinieras: I hope you come tomorrow
@sledgehog1 That's right. Spanish and Portuguese are very similar languages. As I may have heard somewhere, if bot languages had arisen in another geographical context outside of Europe, would still be considered two dialects of the same language haha
The title of the original video is weird. In Mexico, Spain and Argentina are all Spanish speaking countries. OK, so they speak different variations of Spanish just like different variations of English are spoken in the US, UK and Australia. However, they are not completely different languages as the title of the original video suggests. I don't get what there is to be so shocked about.
I’m kinda surprised cause in Massachusetts in the US the older generation calls sneakers “tennis shoes” which might just be a coincidence but it’s similar to tenis or what they said haha
We do it too in Romanian. We have "teniși" for tennis shoes, those ones made of fabric, for sneakers we use "adidași " colocvially or sport shoes. We even call mascara "rimel" which older people can recognize as a very known brand of cosmetics.
@@theminuteman7611 I don’t know if that’s like a rural mass thing or not but in Worcester everyone old and young just say soda lmaoo, but we usually say it like soder for some reason idk
@jamespoker87 I remember mentioning choro as in "choro de agua" once and my whole class thought I was just dumb or being purposely vulgar. I gave the example of being out in the rain and making choros de agua on the floor. I'm also Mexican-American and so were like 90% of my class.
Taking Italian classes back in about 1999, la machina was what they called cars, l'automobile was the automobile (duh), and l'auto was the common word for car.
The "tênis" from Brazil comes from the sport tennis as well, but we drop it, because it's pretty clear from context. Also we wouldn't say we bought tennis, without meaning the shoes because this is a sport, an abstract concept, so the context would fall under the most common meaning: tennis shoe.
We actually drop a lot of words in compound words expressions because the full meaning is implicitly understood. One word that almost always CANNOT be used without a context, is "ponto". It can mean: Ponto de ônibus / bus stop Ponto de sutura / stitches Ponto final / could be "final destination" when talking about transportation or "period, dot" when talking about punctuation. Ponto de carne / how the steak is done, there is no exact translation, is something like the steak state, like rare, medium, well-done Ponto eletrônico / is the place where you clock in (or clock out), used a lot in work. This is a noun though, to clock in or out would be "bater" o ponto. Dude, there are so many more... Ponto is a neverending set of meanings, haha.
I find it very interesting that the words for 'a document' and 'an invoice' are corresponding in Italian and Polish, where we use 'dokument' for (as you can guess) 'a document' and 'faktura' for 'an invoice'. The only thing in Polish is that we don't simplify the latin 'ct' into 'tt' but rather change it to 'kt' for it to represent the sounds in the Polish writing system.
Yes factura is an invoice in Mexico especially for a bill and Argentina, chulo or chula means cutie in Mexico, could be a baby or even a cute pet. Argentina uses coche. Gallina is female chicken. Esperar means also to hope for, in quick expressions like I hope so is Ojalá que si.😊 Ojalá has a native context but esperar que means to hope then what is hoped for. Espero que el sea guapo. I hope that he is, accent over the e in el, keyboard forgot lol. A fast way of saying help or have my back in Mexico is aguas aguas ( desert is dry) in other places it is even better like Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela. Even the word straw I know 4 different ways of saying it in Spanish depending on the country. It’s great. Love Italian, Sicilian is great and reminds me of Portugués and Catalán. Nice.
8:00 In Spanish: Bello/bella=beautiful Bellisimo/bellisima=very very beautiful Hermoso/hermosa= beautiful Precioso/preciosa=beautiful or gorgeous Lindo/linda=pretty, cute, or well-mannered or kind Bonito/bonita=pretty Guapo/Guapa=attractive, handsome, beautiful Chulo=cute, although if Im not mistaken chulo and chula mean cool in Spain. Tierno/tierna=cute
To hope and to wait are both esperar in Spanish. And if you think about it, they are very closely related ideas so it makes sense that the same word is used for both.
Chocolate from the Náhuatl Xocolatl Colombia - ratero o ladrón Colombia - guapo/guapa, pispo, papito, mamita, buen mozo but never say buena moza because it means lover of a married man. At some point we used the expression “tumba locas” which in the literal translation it means “knocking crazy women to the ground” 😂. Aguacate from Náhuatl Ahuacatl. To hope- (tener) esperanza.
I enjoy watching their videos. Often times, as they do here, most of the English words they use are derived from the old Germanic language that German and English split off from, to differentiate it from the Romance languages. Even with today's German: Friend/Fruend Shoes/Schuhe Chocolate/Schokolade a universal word Thief/Dieb Th often is an English substitute for D this/dieses that/das the/die, but there are numerous iterations of these, the famous German grammar hell that no mere mortal can escape Handsome/Stattlich An English word whose meaning has changed, originally meant good with the hands or dexterous, the German word for hand being also Hand document/Dokument a universal word avocado/Avocado an almost universal word chicken/Huhn German word for hen wait/ warte to wait/ warten "There is a wait." (Wartezeit, wait time)
Why couldn't you walk from Italy to spain? People walk far further distances than that. People hike the appelacian range. Italy to spain sounds like a great vacation.
In Spanish, "pollo" is the generic name for the animal and also for the chics the fledgling chickens, "gallina" is the hen, the adult female chicken and gallo is the rooster, the adult male chicken, there is no distinction to when is food or alive.
Rapha, fai una piccola ricerca sopra la historia da San Paolo. Once you do you'll understand why there are these similarities, the gist of it, est. 30 million Italians in Brazil today, the vast majority live in the State of São Paulo, arrived in Santos and spread all over. We also got 2 anglic towns one founded by Brits and the other by north muricans, take a look, don't wanna spoil in a silly comment! the shout-out to the BR lady was epic! She really is over intusiastic 😂
the argentinian lady has most of it right. Palta is used geographically speaking from some esoteric parts of ecuador's andes (everyone else says aguacate), all the way down south to tierra del fuego since both chile and argentina use palta. But the thing is that the Inca geographically did not ever even come close to reaching what is today buenos aires or uruguay. The real reason they say palta could also very well be the fact that basically everything from panama to the patagonia at one point all belonged to the viceroyalty of peru. And historically unlike places like panama which would've been closer to mexico aka the aguacate world, buenos aires up until 1778 was a complete backwater and it depended on smuggling and contraband which may be part of the reason it was like that an extension of peru up until the establishment of the viceroyalty of rio de la plata. what is interesting is that Paraguay of all places being surrounded either by palta-ers, and by brazil that says abacate or even avocado much before aguacate, yet paraguay's word for it is aguacate. Might be because of how late the fruit was introduced, but its still curious nonetheless. Though some parts of paraguay near bolivia and argentina do say palta, kind of how it happens with ecuador too.
Fun fact: Scarpe comes from Gothic "skarpa", so in this particular case, while Zapato has uncertain origins. Some say it's from the Arabic "Sabbat", others say it's a Turkic word or even an onomatopoeia.
3:40 oh, I see now. Italian "scarpa" in the form of "scarpetta" travelled to Poland ("skarpeta") and now means "a sock". 9:00 I guess centuries ago Italian name Bona was derived from Latin, not this slang 😀
In brazilian portuguese we have a lot of synonyms of thief, some more specific to a type of thief others more general. Bandido, assaltante, gatuno, criminoso, meliante, pivete, mão-leve, trambiqueiro, punguista, gatuno, velhaco, batedor, gato, trombadinha, larápio.
Paraguayan here 🇵🇾! I think people might find it interesting how we call these things (or verbs in some cases) in my country! Car: 'auto' (mostly used, but 'automóvil' is the "formal" way in documents and such). Friend: 'amigo' (some alternatives are 'socio' and 'kape', which is very informal). Shoes: 'zapatos' (plural) or 'zapato' (singular). We call flip-flops 'zapatillas' and sneakers 'champión' or 'championes' (informal, because Champion was one of the first brands of sneakers that came here) or 'calzado deportivo' (formal). Chocolate: 'chocolate'. Thief: 'ladrón' or 'bandido' (but also the word 'chorro' has been borrowed from Argentina and as Guaraní is widely spoken, the Guaraní word 'mondaha' is used informally). Handsome: 'churro'/ 'churra' as a standard word when you talk with your parents, and "to be handsome (for men)" would be 'estar bueno'/ "to be beautiful (for women)" 'estar buena' in younger circles, 'lindo/a' (beautiful) and 'hermoso/a' (very beautiful/ stunning) are also used. And cute is 'tierno' but 'chulina' is more fun to use (it's a Guaraní word but used in most contexts for something really cute). Document: 'documento'. 'Factura' is more like a receipt in English or scontrino in Italian. Avocado: 'aguacate'. Chicken: 'pollo' mostly for the chicken destined specifically for meat production, chicken meat or young alive chicken. Hen is 'gallina' and cock (the bird) is 'gallo'. Wait: 'esperar'. But the verb 'to hope' is also esperar. Here's an example of both uses: Esperé en la parada de bus por media hora (I waited at the bus stop for half an hour). Espero que te mejores pronto (I hope you get well soon). Best regards! 😁
In Romanian, car is automobil, but informally we use mașină a lot, but mașină can be used also for washing machine. Friend is prieten, we also use amic, but the words are slightly different, amic is used for a person you are on friendly terms, but is not a close friend; shoes are pantofi, but flip flops or slippers are papuci; chocolate: ciocolată; thief: hoț; handsome or beautiful is frumos (masc)/ frumoasă (fem). But we have the word drăguț/ drăguță for something nice, pretty. Document: document, invoice: factură; avocado is the same, we don't grow them😂. For chicken we have pui, but we have the hen: găină , and the cock( rooster) is cocoș. To wait: a aștepta, to hope: a spera (sper că mă vei aștepta: i hope you will wait for me).
The Aztec’s language, Nahuatl, is still spoken by more than a million people in Mexico and many known words in mexican Spanish dialect come from it, i.e. Chocolate, Aguacate, Tomate, Cacao, Coyote, Cacahuate.
in brazilian portuguese we also use "bela", "belo", "belíssima" or "belíssimo" for "handsome" but is considered a bit more formal, so "bonito" and "bonita" are more used in normal conversations and are used for things too, not just for people while "bela"/"belíssima" I thinks is just for people. For "hot" (sexy person) we use "gostosa" or "gostoso". And "galinha" is the female chicken, "galo" is the male, but we call the meat "carne de frango" or "carne de galinha". we eat chicken hearts in our bbqs and we call it "coração de galinha".
Actually no, the real spanish last name is "Cortes" and not -ez. The ez has been added to many people who had the last name Cortes, because it's so typically spanish that it became a normal spelling error.
12:42 In portuguese it's "galo" for the male and "galinha" for female. I don't know if "frango" had a more specific meaning in the past, but nowadays people just use it as a synonym to "galo" .
Same in Spanish, the Argentinian woman got confused there is no word for the alive/dead animal (as far as I know that only happens for fish: pez if it's in the water and pescado if it has been fished). Gallo for the Male, Gallina for the female and Pollo for the dead or alive chicken that has not fully developed sexual maturity (5 to 6 month old).
Mixing Portuguese with italian " me sale castellano"!!!! Maltese language also double the R like sicilian Trovo il spagnolo di Spagna piu grossolano, a volte archaico delle lingue neolatine & voi?
Brazilian Portuguese is not more similar to Catalan. French is more similar to Catalan. Portuguese, that is even the Brazilian accent Portuguese (because really when it comes down to it it's the accent and pronunciation between European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese that are different. It is actually very offensive to have Mexico, Argentinian and SPAIN in this video but to leave out other Portuguese-speaking countries, except Brazilian Portuguese. Newsflash people. Brazilians speak PORTUGUESE.
@ Latin is from Europe pro italic. Just because those countries were invaded by those countries that brought Latin doesn’t make Americans countries Latin. They inherited so that doesn’t make it Latin not because of the language they also inherited

Chilli: guindilla (Spain) -> chile (Mex) -> ají (Chi, Per, Bol, Col, Ecu, Ven) from Taíno (Caribbean)
For "to hope" in spanish we use a lot the expresión "ojalá", which comes from "insha' Allah" ("if Allah wills")
Ojalá mañana vinieras: I hope you come tomorrow
@@Mazorca-qq3li Same in Portuguese, "oxalá". "Oxalá que amanhã venhas/Oxalá que venhas amanhã".
@sledgehog1 That's right. Spanish and Portuguese are very similar languages. As I may have heard somewhere, if bot languages had arisen in another geographical context outside of Europe, would still be considered two dialects of the same language haha
The title of the original video is weird. In Mexico, Spain and Argentina are all Spanish speaking countries. OK, so they speak different variations of Spanish just like different variations of English are spoken in the US, UK and Australia. However, they are not completely different languages as the title of the original video suggests. I don't get what there is to be so shocked about.
I’m kinda surprised cause in Massachusetts in the US the older generation calls sneakers “tennis shoes” which might just be a coincidence but it’s similar to tenis or what they said haha
It's almost certain that english 'tennis shoes' went into some Spanish countries as 'tenis'.
We always called them gym shoes or tennis shoes in Chicago. Generation X like me usually said gym shoes.
We do it too in Romanian. We have "teniși" for tennis shoes, those ones made of fabric, for sneakers we use "adidași " colocvially or sport shoes. We even call mascara "rimel" which older people can recognize as a very known brand of cosmetics.
They also call soda “tonic”, annoys the hell outta me. Living my whole life in Mass I still can’t get used to it.
@@theminuteman7611 I don’t know if that’s like a rural mass thing or not but in Worcester everyone old and young just say soda lmaoo, but we usually say it like soder for some reason idk
6:20. Ha! For me “chorro” always meant diarrhea 💀💀💀Mexican American for context
💀
that's some crazy diarrhea you had if it came out in "chorros" ☠️
Well it does flow like a faucet 😂😂😂
@jamespoker87 I remember mentioning choro as in "choro de agua" once and my whole class thought I was just dumb or being purposely vulgar. I gave the example of being out in the rain and making choros de agua on the floor.
I'm also Mexican-American and so were like 90% of my class.
I guess the word for hope also originates from waiting since you are waiting for better times
Taking Italian classes back in about 1999, la machina was what they called cars, l'automobile was the automobile (duh), and l'auto was the common word for car.
My Sicilian collega always uses machina.
We say” espero que” to hope in Spanish as well
In Argentina we say fachero to refer to someone handsome. It comes from the italian word faccia
Los ingleses también son inmigrantes que emigraron a las Malvinas para poblarlas. La única diferencia és que no hablan castellano X.
Los ingleses también son simplemente inmigrantes que emigraron a las Malvinas para poblarlas.
In Sardegna si dice "ammigu"
The "tênis" from Brazil comes from the sport tennis as well, but we drop it, because it's pretty clear from context. Also we wouldn't say we bought tennis, without meaning the shoes because this is a sport, an abstract concept, so the context would fall under the most common meaning: tennis shoe.
We actually drop a lot of words in compound words expressions because the full meaning is implicitly understood.
One word that almost always CANNOT be used without a context, is "ponto".
It can mean:
Ponto de ônibus / bus stop
Ponto de sutura / stitches
Ponto final / could be "final destination" when talking about transportation or "period, dot" when talking about punctuation.
Ponto de carne / how the steak is done, there is no exact translation, is something like the steak state, like rare, medium, well-done
Ponto eletrônico / is the place where you clock in (or clock out), used a lot in work. This is a noun though, to clock in or out would be "bater" o ponto.
Dude, there are so many more... Ponto is a neverending set of meanings, haha.
I find it very interesting that the words for 'a document' and 'an invoice' are corresponding in Italian and Polish, where we use 'dokument' for (as you can guess) 'a document' and 'faktura' for 'an invoice'. The only thing in Polish is that we don't simplify the latin 'ct' into 'tt' but rather change it to 'kt' for it to represent the sounds in the Polish writing system.
Yes factura is an invoice in Mexico especially for a bill and Argentina, chulo or chula means cutie in Mexico, could be a baby or even a cute pet. Argentina uses coche. Gallina is female chicken. Esperar means also to hope for, in quick expressions like I hope so is Ojalá que si.😊 Ojalá has a native context but esperar que means to hope then what is hoped for. Espero que el sea guapo. I hope that he is, accent over the e in el, keyboard forgot lol. A fast way of saying help or have my back in Mexico is aguas aguas ( desert is dry) in other places it is even better like Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela. Even the word straw I know 4 different ways of saying it in Spanish depending on the country. It’s great. Love Italian, Sicilian is great and reminds me of Portugués and Catalán. Nice.
First ❤️🩹🎉
FANTASTIC as Always
( I really wanna also say that
The italien pronunciation is definitely the best)
Hope in Spanish is 'Esperanza' and in Portuguese is 'Esperança'
In Polish, the word for sock is "skarpetka", which is similar to the Italian word for shoe, "scarpa".
"Espero que..." is "I hope that..."
"Te espero" or "te estoy esperando" is "I'm waiting for you".
Metatron was the best girl among these
8:00
In Spanish:
Bello/bella=beautiful
Bellisimo/bellisima=very very beautiful
Hermoso/hermosa= beautiful
Precioso/preciosa=beautiful or gorgeous
Lindo/linda=pretty, cute, or well-mannered or kind
Bonito/bonita=pretty
Guapo/Guapa=attractive, handsome, beautiful
Chulo=cute, although if Im not mistaken chulo and chula mean cool in Spain.
Tierno/tierna=cute
in portuguese:
belo/bela
belíssimo/ belíssima
To hope and to wait are both esperar in Spanish. And if you think about it, they are very closely related ideas so it makes sense that the same word is used for both.
Chocolate from the Náhuatl Xocolatl
Colombia - ratero o ladrón
Colombia - guapo/guapa, pispo, papito, mamita, buen mozo but never say buena moza because it means lover of a married man. At some point we used the expression “tumba locas” which in the literal translation it means “knocking crazy women to the ground” 😂.
Aguacate from Náhuatl Ahuacatl.
To hope- (tener) esperanza.
Amicus - Amico - Amigo - Amigu - Ami
I enjoy watching their videos. Often times, as they do here, most of the English words they use are derived from the old Germanic language that German and English split off from, to differentiate it from the Romance languages.
Even with today's German:
Friend/Fruend
Shoes/Schuhe
Chocolate/Schokolade a universal word
Thief/Dieb Th often is an English substitute for D this/dieses that/das the/die, but there are numerous
iterations of these, the famous German grammar hell that no mere mortal can escape
Handsome/Stattlich An English word whose meaning has changed, originally meant good with the hands or dexterous,
the German word for hand being also Hand
document/Dokument a universal word
avocado/Avocado an almost universal word
chicken/Huhn German word for hen
wait/ warte to wait/ warten "There is a wait." (Wartezeit, wait time)
RE: "Documento" and "factura" in Argie Spanish, she indeed got confused. Factura is an invoice, while documento is, well, that. A Document
in Romania we say "amic" (latin based) or "prieten" (slavic lown) to friend
amic (masculine) - amica (feminine)/ amic (singular) - amici (plural)
Why couldn't you walk from Italy to spain? People walk far further distances than that. People hike the appelacian range. Italy to spain sounds like a great vacation.
It actually sounds like a great trip following the Mediterranean coast from the Gibraltar strait to the Messina strait.
@alfrredd It would be a easier walk than the Appalachian trail, but it's too bad it would end up so much more expensive.
In Spanish, "pollo" is the generic name for the animal and also for the chics the fledgling chickens, "gallina" is the hen, the adult female chicken and gallo is the rooster, the adult male chicken, there is no distinction to when is food or alive.
We do use 'belo' or 'bela' too in Brazil, but it's not that common
I'd say "Belo" only for things like art, landscapes etc
As a brazilian, the brazilian girl gives me a bit of anxiety.
Espero = hope in Spanish
Rapha, fai una piccola ricerca sopra la historia da San Paolo. Once you do you'll understand why there are these similarities, the gist of it, est. 30 million Italians in Brazil today, the vast majority live in the State of São Paulo, arrived in Santos and spread all over. We also got 2 anglic towns one founded by Brits and the other by north muricans, take a look, don't wanna spoil in a silly comment!
the shout-out to the BR lady was epic! She really is over intusiastic 😂
the argentinian lady has most of it right. Palta is used geographically speaking from some esoteric parts of ecuador's andes (everyone else says aguacate), all the way down south to tierra del fuego since both chile and argentina use palta. But the thing is that the Inca geographically did not ever even come close to reaching what is today buenos aires or uruguay. The real reason they say palta could also very well be the fact that basically everything from panama to the patagonia at one point all belonged to the viceroyalty of peru. And historically unlike places like panama which would've been closer to mexico aka the aguacate world, buenos aires up until 1778 was a complete backwater and it depended on smuggling and contraband which may be part of the reason it was like that an extension of peru up until the establishment of the viceroyalty of rio de la plata.
what is interesting is that Paraguay of all places being surrounded either by palta-ers, and by brazil that says abacate or even avocado much before aguacate, yet paraguay's word for it is aguacate. Might be because of how late the fruit was introduced, but its still curious nonetheless. Though some parts of paraguay near bolivia and argentina do say palta, kind of how it happens with ecuador too.
Fun fact: Scarpe comes from Gothic "skarpa", so in this particular case, while Zapato has uncertain origins. Some say it's from the Arabic "Sabbat", others say it's a Turkic word or even an onomatopoeia.
Fatura = invoice aqui também
3:40 oh, I see now. Italian "scarpa" in the form of "scarpetta" travelled to Poland ("skarpeta") and now means "a sock".
9:00 I guess centuries ago Italian name Bona was derived from Latin, not this slang 😀
I think we took the word fattura فاتورة to mean the same in arabic from Italian, but it is pronounced with one t instead of double t.
In brazilian portuguese we have a lot of synonyms of thief, some more specific to a type of thief others more general.
Bandido, assaltante, gatuno, criminoso, meliante, pivete, mão-leve, trambiqueiro, punguista, gatuno, velhaco, batedor, gato, trombadinha, larápio.
Paraguayan here 🇵🇾! I think people might find it interesting how we call these things (or verbs in some cases) in my country!
Car: 'auto' (mostly used, but 'automóvil' is the "formal" way in documents and such).
Friend: 'amigo' (some alternatives are 'socio' and 'kape', which is very informal).
Shoes: 'zapatos' (plural) or 'zapato' (singular). We call flip-flops 'zapatillas' and sneakers 'champión' or 'championes' (informal, because Champion was one of the first brands of sneakers that came here) or 'calzado deportivo' (formal).
Chocolate: 'chocolate'.
Thief: 'ladrón' or 'bandido' (but also the word 'chorro' has been borrowed from Argentina and as Guaraní is widely spoken, the Guaraní word 'mondaha' is used informally).
Handsome: 'churro'/ 'churra' as a standard word when you talk with your parents, and "to be handsome (for men)" would be 'estar bueno'/ "to be beautiful (for women)" 'estar buena' in younger circles, 'lindo/a' (beautiful) and 'hermoso/a' (very beautiful/ stunning) are also used. And cute is 'tierno' but 'chulina' is more fun to use (it's a Guaraní word but used in most contexts for something really cute).
Document: 'documento'. 'Factura' is more like a receipt in English or scontrino in Italian.
Avocado: 'aguacate'.
Chicken: 'pollo' mostly for the chicken destined specifically for meat production, chicken meat or young alive chicken. Hen is 'gallina' and cock (the bird) is 'gallo'.
Wait: 'esperar'. But the verb 'to hope' is also esperar. Here's an example of both uses: Esperé en la parada de bus por media hora (I waited at the bus stop for half an hour). Espero que te mejores pronto (I hope you get well soon).
Best regards! 😁
No me gustaría confundir mis champiñones por mis championes, ojalá que no 😂
Now I know where the term "savata" which is slipper in north Italy comes from. Cool 😎
Sauer kraut is great on pizza (especially w/ mushrooms &/or onions)!
In Romanian, car is automobil, but informally we use mașină a lot, but mașină can be used also for washing machine. Friend is prieten, we also use amic, but the words are slightly different, amic is used for a person you are on friendly terms, but is not a close friend; shoes are pantofi, but flip flops or slippers are papuci; chocolate: ciocolată; thief: hoț; handsome or beautiful is frumos (masc)/ frumoasă (fem). But we have the word drăguț/ drăguță for something nice, pretty. Document: document, invoice: factură; avocado is the same, we don't grow them😂. For chicken we have pui, but we have the hen: găină , and the cock( rooster) is cocoș. To wait: a aștepta, to hope: a spera (sper că mă vei aștepta: i hope you will wait for me).
The Aztec’s language, Nahuatl, is still spoken by more than a million people in Mexico and many known words in mexican Spanish dialect come from it, i.e. Chocolate, Aguacate, Tomate, Cacao, Coyote, Cacahuate.
in brazilian portuguese we also use "bela", "belo", "belíssima" or "belíssimo" for "handsome" but is considered a bit more formal, so "bonito" and "bonita" are more used in normal conversations and are used for things too, not just for people while "bela"/"belíssima" I thinks is just for people.
For "hot" (sexy person) we use "gostosa" or "gostoso".
And "galinha" is the female chicken, "galo" is the male, but we call the meat "carne de frango" or "carne de galinha". we eat chicken hearts in our bbqs and we call it "coração de galinha".
Actually no, the real spanish last name is "Cortes" and not -ez. The ez has been added to many people who had the last name Cortes, because it's so typically spanish that it became a normal spelling error.
In Spanish I wish is "Yo Espero"
in portuguese it's "eu espero"
tiene muchos significados al cual traducir wish
We use "ojalá" much more for that meaning (at least in my area).
Ojalá vengas mañana: I hope you come tomorrow
Porque nunca chega até o final do vídeo??? 😭😭
Factura, is an invoice in Argentina. Probably brought by Italian immigrants.
Hope in Spanish is Esperanza.
12:42 In portuguese it's "galo" for the male and "galinha" for female. I don't know if "frango" had a more specific meaning in the past, but nowadays people just use it as a synonym to "galo" .
Also, "esperar" in portuguese can also mean "to hope":
Eng: "I hope I arrive on time"
Port: "Espero chegar a tempo"
Same in Spanish, the Argentinian woman got confused there is no word for the alive/dead animal (as far as I know that only happens for fish: pez if it's in the water and pescado if it has been fished). Gallo for the Male, Gallina for the female and Pollo for the dead or alive chicken that has not fully developed sexual maturity (5 to 6 month old).
Ho sempre pensato che "Bono,bona" fosse dialetto Romano
I wonder if the Argentinian slang word for 'thief' has any relation to the Urdu word for the same, which is 'chor'.
Interesting because in the North of Argentina we say 'choro', even more similar
@benugomez Methinks we've stumbled upon a mystery... come, the game is afoot *grabs pipe and deerstalker*
No words that mean the same? So how on earth can I understand them so well worthy having studied Portuguese,?
Portuguese and Spanish share around 90% of words (with some spelling differences of course)
meanwhile in polish "skarpety" are "socks" :)
In Haitian Creole "Machin" is for car
hoping in spanish = waiting :)
esperar is waiting, esperar QUE.. means hoping... aspetto... spero che...
Mixing Portuguese with italian " me sale castellano"!!!!
Maltese language also double the R like sicilian
Trovo il spagnolo di Spagna piu grossolano, a volte archaico delle lingue neolatine & voi?
Factura = receipt
Please react to Can Romanian and Portuguese speakers understand each other? from Ecolinguist
Brazilian Portuguese is not more similar to Catalan. French is more similar to Catalan. Portuguese, that is even the Brazilian accent Portuguese (because really when it comes down to it it's the accent and pronunciation between European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese that are different. It is actually very offensive to have Mexico, Argentinian and SPAIN in this video but to leave out other Portuguese-speaking countries, except Brazilian Portuguese. Newsflash people. Brazilians speak PORTUGUESE.
8 minutes? I'm actually early!
Sorry Metatron, but the Mayan civilization began 2000BC while the Rome was 753BC.
Most historians put the Maya at 1500 bce at the earliest.
Ratero, its an official word, maybe is an old word in standard spanish.
I just need them to stop calling it Latin Spanish or Latin America 🤦🏻♀️
What's wrong with Latin America?
@ Latin is from Europe pro italic. Just because those countries were invaded by those countries that brought Latin doesn’t make Americans countries Latin. They inherited so that doesn’t make it Latin not because of the language they also inherited
@@lizsalazar7931Latin America is called like that because of that, the region was under the influence of Spain and Portugal's culture so it is Latin.
