What are you having for lunch/dinner today?

dunno, it's pretty early in the morning

When Speakers of varieties with different use of pronouns communicate with each other (voseo etc.) does everyone just communicate in their own way or do you default to one side? Does it depend on the context and/or the environment?

>Does it depend on the context?
if it's a formal context yeah a little
but some people like argentinians won't default their accent over anything, so it also depends on the culture
it's not that different anyways besides some lingo. we all get taught the same spanish at school, it's the streets that change it

you communicate in your own way, a Mexican and an Argentinian can understand each other despite their accents, I really don't know when the context is pretty formal

What the fuck is piñata, weón, mamadas, wachiturros and concha?

you know what it is, Joao

I don't know, really, you say these worlds all the time in lat

>What the fuck is
piñata, doll broke at birthdday
weón, or huevon in cbile and peru as boludo in argentine
mamadas, boquetes but we used as "stupid stuff"
wachiturros favela funkeiro
concha? buceta vagina

Which one is more comonly used ?

>weón
big balled
>mamadas
sucking (as an adjective)
>concha
conch
>wachiturros
combination of "wacho" (dude) and "turro" (robber, lowlife)

the second one i think?

Does your country feel crowded and fast-paced?

>commonly used
both, i woud say, it doesn't matter

How can one picture a conversation between two Spanish speakers of different varieties? Does either side try to appropriate a certain formal standard or how does this work? How do you guys interact on the Internet? I just started learning Spanish so I'm just wondering.

Which places in LatAm are worth visiting and won't get a gringo tourist without private security robbed and killed?

No, but that might be because I don't live in Santiago

both can still use their own dialect and understand each other fine, but its common for both of them to use a more neutral dialect as a matter of respect

>How can one picture a conversation between two Spanish speakers of different varieties?
you speak your own accent, peole will understand you.
>Does either side try to appropriate a certain formal standard or how does this work?
No, you speak you accent
>How do you guys interact on the Internet?
with our own accents
>Which places in LatAm are worth visiting and won't get a gringo tourist without private security robbed and killed?
dunno, Chile? southern USA?

>Does either side try to appropriate a certain formal standard?
if it's business-related conversation yeah
if it's informal here, video: youtube.com/watch?v=Av9KICvYWmk
>I just started learning Spanish
just use the "dictionary spanish" that you're learning, you'll learn the new words of the place you go, people will teach you so don't worry
>Which places in LatAm are worth visiting and won't get a gringo tourist without private security robbed and killed?
anywhere. "gold is where you find it"

what you have to know is that their varieties are not as different as varieties in german.

The spanish taught in every country is still standard spanish the main difference between countries is the accent and slang they use and a few vocabulary words.

So spanish speakers dont really have to revert to speaking "standard spanish" they just have to stop speaking their local slang

>gringo tourist
you aren't gringo. it's a derogatory to american people

>heir varieties are not as different as varieties in german
gotta take in account social strata too
niggers (of both white and black skin) talk REALLY different dialect

here it means any white immigrant
>"uh how do you call black immigrants then?"
y, negros, qué van a ser verdes? azules?

>talk REALLY different dialect

I dont really know if you can call it a dialect mane, It's more slang but I mean who's to say what a dialect even is maybe it is just slang

there are blue ones, la creatura

You are not gringo. Europeans are not gringos, brits are not gringos. Canadians are not gringos. Only Unitedstatians are gringos, doesnt matter if they are white, black or latinos, they are still called gringos. Only americans are gringos. It is a pejorative demonyn, it doesn't have to do with your physical appearance

alright, try to understand this:

fix south america with Napalm, that's the best for your own continent

>How can one picture a conversation between two Spanish speakers of different varieties?
They'd just try to speak as neutral as possible. Imagine a yank and a brit or strayan in a conversation. They'd speak formal english and would limit the use of slang as much as possible.

This would be less of an issue between really culturally close countries where even the slang is virtually the same. In our case: panama, venezuela, PR and CR to a large extent or in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay

What said, we try to avoid too specific lingo that isn't that well known

why do south american girls like prostitution so much?
i speak referring to Spain case and your inmgrants

it profits a lot, according to them

E D G Y
They probably come from low income areas where prostitution was the thing women do (the ones that don't have an actual job) and think it's "normal" to do that, they heard success stories of people moving to spain so they do it but then find out it's not that easy, but they will always have their body to sell and make some money so that's what they do
Venezuelans do this exact same thing here

what is your favorite and least favorite dialect? personally im not really fluent but i love hearing my dominican friend speak

>favorite

>least favorite
Caribbean accents in general, they give me cancer

don't have a favorite
and the accent i hate the most is the norteño, they talk like whining

Those aren't dialects because they're still the same language. Perhaps you mean favorite accent or spanish variety?

ask me anything

Isn't Ecuador like one of the smartest countries there? Like, Snowden was thinking of going there instead of Russia. And the president lives in a simple house in the countryside.

where can we find LOS SONIDOS MAGICOS
DE ECUADOR!
