Actually yeah I made a whole hour vlog on my profile. The view from right outside Isabella on the highway was on of my favorites, y la comida alla en el pais completo era el mejor de mi vida. Also the little strip above San Juan with all those bars was really cool. I also got to visit the University of Puerto Rico (on accident) and it was so beautiful, es una pais tan verde. @@dougkalagian
Nice! Just watched your vlog, looks like you had an epic trip. Solo trips are always the best in my opinion - nothing holding you back from going wherever you want, whenever.@@julesvideoarchive
This is my favorite ive come across. I stopped speaking spanish in like kindergarten trying to fir in so my spanish is rough but i remember all of these. Its weird because the relaxed manner of these videos sticks way better for me.
hahah no problem. Here's a whole playlist of Puerto Rico videos I made which she might find helpful! ua-cam.com/play/PLT5hM3EsLGfWz-g6zh-vzjtiqKlVS2Tk-.html
@thenearhorizon Acho, eso es un mamey. A "mamey" is a low hanging fruit that is easy to pick. So, we use the words "mamey" to say that something is easy.
@@brianrosado7211 Hah, I love it. There is a mango tree outside my apartment, so I will try to use this word soon. Thanks for sharing 😁 also, I hope you subscribe!
In the northwest part of the island, especially in Aguadilla, Moca, and Isabela, we have a popular phrase: “Válgate!” or “Válgate Dios!” Is an expression of being shocked or surprised about something
I've known people who've been cut in broad daylight for calling somebody a cabron / cabrona in P.R. . Within the context of an insult, it basically means " stupid / unsuspecting cuckold". Other Latin cultures throw it around like a vulgar term of endearment but if you say that to the wrong person in P.R. your life will be in danger.
Lol I'm from SoCal too and am learning Spanish in Puerto Rico. I haven't had much opportunity to practice my Spanish in SoCal yet, but I'll report back once I do to see if they can understand me 😁
@@dougkalagian I feel like the slangs are complete opposites, general spanish is the same ofc but if one or the other tries to use alot of slang you might not understand.
@@dougkalagian The thing is those slangs and words they are saying is modernized and used by a subculture of "cacos" or reggaeton or trappers. Also, keep in mind there is also generational diferences between older and younger generations speaks. Also, there is some slightly diferent way puerto ricans speaking and act on the metro and the camp. For example , my mom use the word " sangregordo" to refer someone obnoxious or annoying but I never in my life heard said that in my lifetime. Mind you, I have family members who are very old like they were born in 1920s, 1950s, 1980s and going on.
As a puerto rican who never has been to the island. Thank you so much for sharing some of the culture!!

Everything used is what you call “slang” to communicate.
I've known people who've been cut in broad daylight for calling somebody a cabron / cabrona in P.R. . Within the context of an insult, it basically means " stupid / unsuspecting cuckold". Other Latin cultures throw it around like a vulgar term of endearment but if you say that to the wrong person in P.R. your life will be in danger.
Damn, thats crazy. I've heard it used in a playful manner in Puerto Rico, but I can see how it could be intense if you said it to insult.
@@dougkalagian Depends, w friends it's an everyday thing like sayin "bro", but obvs don't approach strangers like that
@@2Padre. Exactly. Context is important
As a boricua who lived in SoCal around mostly Mexicans it was a struggle! 😅 nobody understood my Spanish 🤣

@@dougkalagian Mexicans and Puerto Ricans speak VASTLY different in Spanish lol
Hahah what are the big differences you’ve noticed?
@@dougkalagian I feel like the slangs are complete opposites, general spanish is the same ofc but if one or the other tries to use alot of slang you might not understand.
@@dougkalagian well for one the accents are very different, many words have different meanings, and some words in Mexico are bad in PR and vice versa.
🔥🔥🔥
Mi Reyna or mi Rey and Que lo que es is Dominican, just saying. Adopted by some ?
Perhaps!
Vamos Boricua
Well, some answers were ok but other answers were super trashy, i would not say them at all, an educated puerto rican will not say them for sure.
What other Puerto Rican words and phrases do you think were missed? We can try to find better ones for the next video
