      To form the conjugation of "voseo",
      you should better use it's origin which is the 2nd of plural minus the "i". It came from the formal treatment of "Vos" (equivalent and ancient as "thou"), which I don't know why, rolled down to the informal register.
      Another difference is the second of plural that in Spain would be "vosotros" and in Americas is "Ustedes" and it conjugates like the 3rd of plural (Ellos/Ellas).

      @@lysandroabelcher2592 Actually, "thou" in English was the informal or familiar form, like "tu." It's even distantly cognate to "tu." It faded from English in much the same way that "tu" did from Rioplatense, so now we all use "you" all the time, which was originally the plural and later either plural or formal singular.

    Porteños can sometimes use expressions that take a while to understand to other Spanish speaking people.

He said "larga una baranda que voltea" meaning "it smells so bad it makes your head turn".

    I first started learning Spanish on my own, I was looking for an online chat to practice and stumbled upon some group chat of La Plata, Argentina. So I was learning Rioplatense Spanish, but I didn't know that. Later I took a Spanish course at the university and I was baffled why the teacher couldn't understand me, how come she didn't know some of the words I was using and why did she pronounce llegar like "yegar" and not "shegar". :))) So I started speaking castellano in class, but the rioplatense has always been closest to my heart.

      Oh no! I'm always happy to help people with their spanish pronunciation, but I do tell them in advance that my pronunciation can only be applied to Argentina and Uruguay, and I even ask if they want to hear a more "neutral" pronunciation, some ask for both examples which make me really happy, some just for the rioplatense (ig because they want to be respectful), and some others are honest and just ask for the neutral one without caring for the rioplatense..

    I'm brazilian, and due to my admiration for Argentina I decided to take "porteño" as my variant of Spanish. I speak it quite well, and it sounds so different that I can hide my non native speaker accent behind it: when I talk to Spanish native speakers they commonly think I come from Argentina or Uruguay. Except for people from these countries ... they identify me immediately as a non Spanish native speaker ... and sometimes they even have no doubt I'm brazilian!

    • @mep6302
      @mep6302 Рік тому +73

      I think it's because of your intonation or sometimes pronunciation. I've met some Brazilians and when I think they're from here then I listen to their intonation much more clearly and I realize "I think this person is Brazilian" Other times it's because they nasalize vowels + n or m. That's a good indicator of a Brazilian speaking Spanish.

    • @chms236

    I'm German and I learned Spanish for a few months in a language school in Buenos Aires, Argentina some 15 years ago. I understand Rioplatense MUCH better than "mainland castellano", as it's being spoken in Spain. Also, I find the grammar easier to learn due to the "voseo": Here, second person singular is always the infinitive form with the -r replaced by an -s in the end of the word with the last syllable always stressed. Plus, in Rioplatense, you commonly use only one form of past tense: The pretérito indefinido. In my experience, there is no need to use the pretérito perfecto at all.
    The real crazy thing about Spanish are the regional dialects and most importantly: Words, which can have a completely different meaning, depending on your region. One prime example is the word "cojer", which means "to fetch" in regular Spanish, however, in Argentina it means "to f*ck". There are endless examples like that in the Spanish language.

    As a native Spanish speaker. The problem between varieties is exactly what the Spanish person told you, the slang. Many Latin American countries use the same common Spanish words as slang, but with completely different meaning, so communication might be difficult between speakers of different varieties unless they are aware of the slang of the other, or if they both drop the slang completely.
    One example is when I helped a person from Chile in something and told me “¡Eres un seco!”. in México that can be understood as an impolite person or someone who’s limiting the communication to the minimum, maybe due to not liking the other person. In Chile that means you’re really good at something. So I thought this person was insulting me, when in reality I was being praised.

      @santi• Ni ahí, si sos de Argentina o Uruguay te das cuenta al breve ratito de comenzar una charla. Hay palabras que están cambiadas, las entonaciones son distintas. Mismamente por eso a los Argentinos te das cuenta fácil por el 'cantito italiano' que tienen al enunciar ciertas cosas con ahínco (mejor dicho, cuando no lo hacen de forma neutra).
      Que "queramos" diferenciarnos de los porteños... Ni idea que insinuás con eso. Ya somos distintos, no se si estás insinuando que somos lo mismo, jajaja. Vamo arriba.
      Me gusta tanto Buenos Aires como Montevideo pero en el interior de ambos países también se habla con palabras más distintas todavía, y encima con otras enunciaciones y acentos, difícil de comparar el Duraznense o Riverense de Uruguay de un Cordobés o un Tucumano de Argentina.

      there were greater differences 40 years ago in accents between BsAs vs Montevideo. Internet and TV has leveled the field quite a bit in those years. Back then, "Boludo" was a giveaway of either you lived in Argentina or you were born there. Now I guess it's pretty common in Montevideo.

    Muy buen video!
    Me gustaría aclarar que si bien la palabra "boludo/a" puede tener varios significados y el expresado en el video es válido, el origen que le dio mas popularidad en su uso es bastante distinto.
    Tanto "boludo" como "pelotudo" tienen sus raíces en las guerras por la independencia de España.
    En la formación de combate, los gauchos se organizaban en tres filas. La primera estaba compuesta por los "pelotudos", quienes llevaban pelotas de piedra atadas con un lazo. La segunda fila la conformaban los "lanceros", armados con facones y lanzas, y la tercera fila estaba integrada por los "boludos", que utilizaban boleadoras o bolas. Estos gauchos se encontraban en desventaja, ya que los españoles tenían armas de fuego, artillería y corazas.
    En 1890, un diputado de la Nación utilizó el término "pelotudo" de manera despectiva para referirse a aquellos que se exponían al frente de batalla sin sentido. Con el tiempo, esta forma de utilizar el término se popularizó y "boludo" se convirtió en un sinónimo.

    As a native Rioplatense speaker, I have to say that yes, people have a lot of trouble understanding me if I speak normally. I have to "neutralise" my speech because the amount of slang words that we use on a regular basis is pretty high. Also, take into account that even formal speech changes. "Dígame" (tell me) changes to "Digamé".
    The problem is that when speaking casually some of us not even pronounce the first syllable of verbs, as the strongest one is always at the end. "Escucha" changes to "Cuchá".
    The worst for other spanish speakers is lower class rioplatense, what you showed is the base, what came from Italy and France, but later a lot of slang developed ON TOP

The "y, ll" pronunciation is a quirk you get over quickly, the aspirated S is featured in many Latinamerican dialects (here in Colombia it happens in Costeño and Vallecaucano, for example) and the voseo is a also a feature of Paisa Spanish. What might be a little challenge is the slang, but thanks to music and the Internet, we get exposed to it and words like "mina, guita, laburo" are widely understood by the rest of Latin America.

Today I speak Spanish fluently with Argentinian accent, and I must change it every time I talk to other Spanish speakers. From my very first impression I noticed that there are much more similarities between Brazilian Portuguese and Rioplatense than I could imagine. For instance there are many words in Brazilian Portuguese that came from Lunfardo ("mina", "bandear", "engrupir", "afanar", "bronca", "mina", etc.), there's "che" in South Brazil too, "vos" is very similar to "você" that came from ancient "vosmecê", the sound of Portuguese /j/ in /ll/ and /y/, and the intonation.

    To me as a Puerto Rican, I was exposed to Rioplatense Spanish through old television programs from Argentina, which by now are rather scarce in local television (of course, now there are live feeds from Argentinean media everywhere). To us, if was like a dialect of Italian, with a lot of roller coaster intonations, the peculiar verb conjugations that require some mental gymnastics to get used to, and the occasional slang, verres and lunfardo words thrown in for spice. With time, the strong yeismo from Buenos Aires and Montevideo have softened quite a bit, along with the dramatic neo-Italian swag… it is a bit less peculiar, and has become easier to understand to us who live far from that area.

At first the voseo, although I was familiar with it, still seemed foreign and I found that I resisted using it myself. It was clear in any case that I was an outsider. I also think people avoided using a lot of slang in addressing me as an outsider.
    All told, the people were fantastic: warm, welcoming, very laid back. I imagine one would get used to this dialect of Spanish over time.
    Thanks, Paul, for another great video.

    For a brazilian I think rioplatense is the easiest spanish accent, because some words sound amazingly similar to portuguese. For example, the spanish word for rain, "lluvia" is pronounced almost like the portuguese word for rain, "chuva". The voseo also is similar to the ancient portuguese way to speak "vós", that nowadays became "você" in the brazilian portuguese. In fact I suspect that these similarities are not just coincidences, but maybe the way to speak spanish in Argentina and Uruguay was influenced by the contact with the brazilian portuguese, mainly during the Paraguay War, when argentinians, uruguayans and brazilians fought on the same side

      @@elfelon9465 I already noticed that. I am not an expert on the subject, but I read somewhere that the reason is that are some sounds in portuguese that don't exist in spanish, like the "ão", for example (coração, joão, pão, etc). On the other hand, for brazilians is much easier to understand spanish, if it is spoken slowly. That gives the ilusion for some brazilians that they can speak spanish without studying it, which is not true. Most of times they will use words that don't exist in spanish or similar words with different meanings (false friends), speaking in fact a language known as "portuñol"

But maybe the "bridge" between rioplatense and antique spanish is exactly the brazilian portuguese.

    "Me voy" - "I'm leaving", by it's own, but here means, "i'm going" or instanciating that you are start to leave
    "a ir" - "go", but here working as a connector for the next phrase
    "yendo", - "going", "leaving"

    This video was amazing. I’m from Argentina and I study linguistics and translation and everything you said was spot on. The only thing I would’ve liked you to mention was the use of “re” which is a sort of intensifier, similar to “muy”, but it can also be used to agree with someone. It’s used a lot and, as someone from Buenos Aires, I find it really hard to find alternatives when talking to someone who speaks a different variety of Spanish 😂
    Some examples are:
    Estuvo re rica la comida = the food was really good.
    “Che, querés ir a comer mañana?” “¡Sí, re!” = “Hey, do you wanna grab dinner tomorrow?” “Yeah, totally!”
    Nos re cagó el profesor, nos dio una banda de tarea = Our teacher really did us dirty, he gave us a ton of homework

But in spanish when combining a word with a prefix there are no spaces in between («re» being a prefix), it should be: «¡Sí, re!» and «Nos recagó el profe, nos dio una banda de deberes». At least in Uruguay «deberes» is used instead of «tarea».

It’s not the same use of the prefix “re” meaning the reiteration of something (which, in that case, is not written separately, as you said).

    Just finished watching the video! The only correction I would make as a "rioplatense" (that word is correct but it's so formal, we almost never use it haha) is that "jermu" doesn't literally mean "mujer", but it's often used as a reference to one's wife. Example used in a sentence: "Me voy a casa porque si no mi jermu me mata" (I better go home before my wife kills me). It's not commonly used in women in general. We use "mina" for that purpose, also mentioned in this video.
    Other than that, this video was VERY educational about my own native language, so I'm really thankful that you're sharing this information with people around the world! You really go deep in your research!!!
    From my point of view, our spanish is kinda dirty and messy.

    (2) most people I knew said "castellano" instead of "español", and I had to train myself not to use the former when talking to other Spanish speakers.

      "Castellano" and "español" mean one and the same thing. There are many people having arguments online (and offline) because they think one of the two terms means Peninsular Spanish. The thing is that the Spanish everyone speaks in América is the variety used in Spain for unifying different kingdoms: castellano. And around the same time, the one brought to América with the "conquest". I believe in both Argentina and Uruguay (I can only speak for Uruguay) this fact is taught in formal education, even though some people then still confuse the meanings.

The third plural also uses that form: "ellos/ellas son". When I was a child we were told at school that we spoke a bad spanish because the correct one was the one spoken in Spain. Fortunately times have changed and now we can respect and be proud of our own way of speaking.

    Great understanding of the uses of "mal", it's a very interesting topic related to grammaticalization (same with "alto"). I made some work about "mal" and it turns out there are at least 3 uses besides "wrong", and there are chronolectal variations too. For example, the second use you mention leads to some older people to consider agrammatical some sentences which young people undoubtedly consider grammatical.

    I was born in Chile but moved to Argentina at a young age. While my whole family is Chilean, my unadulterated everyday Spanish is definitively Argentinian, but I can modulate my Spanish when talking to family members or friends from Chile. For the last 8 years, I've been living in Europe and have had plenty of opportunities to gauge the intelligibility of both varieties of Spanish for Spaniards and Spanish L2 speakers. Chilean spoken informally is definitively the one that's harder to understand for both Spanish native speakers and L2 speakers. Argentinian has the advantage of relatively high exposure among other Spanish speakers. There are many reasons for this (large diaspora, popular tv series, internet etc.). I think this is also the reason why you encounter many Spanish speakers with an opinion on Argentinian Spanish.

    I'm from southern Argentina, my native dialect is southern rioplatense but I live in the center of Argentina now so my dialect has changed a little bit.
    I've visited a few countries in Latinamerica and Spain too. I've never had trouble understanding them but many timed I had to speak slowly for them to understand me and drop all the slang.
    Especially in Spain, they speak in a very literal way whereas Argentinians speak most of the time using analogies... so probably they have the hardest time understanding us because of the slang.

    I grew up hearing Mexican and Central American Spanish for the most part and then studied abroad in Montevideo, Uruguay when I was in university. It definitely took some adjusting to understand people, but as you said, it's mostly getting used to some additional vocabulary and adjusting your ear to the different accent. I think it took me a matter of days to feel comfortable with it, though of course I kept learning new slang and vocabulary as I interacted more.
    One thing I think you might have missed in this video is mentioning that speakers of Rioplatense Spanish don't usually call their language "español." They call it "castellano." You might also mention that on the Argentinian side of the river the "ll" and "y" is more of a "sh" while on the Uruguayan side it's more of a "zh," aka it tends to be voiced. At least, that's what I noticed when I lived there!

    I intend to keep getting input from lots of varieties of Spanish as I become more proficient. The more, the merrier. Initially I found the Mexican accent to be the easiest to understand, by far. But now, three weeks later, I'm also used to hearing European Spanish and Rioplatense Spanish. Granted, I'm still at an early beginner level, but I look forward to learning more about the differences between lots of varieties of Spanish. I find it all fascinating.

    As a native Paraguayan Spanish speaker, Rioplatense Spanish has a huge influence on our dialect. Most of the features you talked about are present in Paraguayan Spanish as well. It's probably because we are bombarded with Argentinian media from a very young age. That also means that we can understand them perfectly, although they can't always understand us (especially if we start speaking Jopara). Great video as always!

But there is also an "old" pronunciation, still used by many people, which sounds like the "s" in "measure". I pronounce this way. The famous argentinian musician Gustavo Cerati from the rock group "Soda Stereo" did too, you can check this by listening to any of his songs.

    I loved how accurate this video was and how including you were by adding Uruguay in the headline. As a Uruguayan, I believe that speaking Rioplatense Spanish covers much more grammar than standard Spanish as you don't only learn the "tú" conjugations but also the "vos" and that expands your grammar so much more. Fun fact, even we Argentinians and Uruguayans have trouble understanding certain vocab that it's said so differently in each country. For example, the famous Rioplatense pastry "Bizcochos" in Uruguay are called "Facturas" in Argentina, which funny enough facturas also mean bills

      Also, we don't use "pileta" for "swimming pools". Even in Rioplatense Spanish there are differences between Argentinian and Uruguayan Spanish. But, of course, we're more similar than different. And we'll hardly ever have problems understanding a person from Argentina. The only time I had that problem is when a tourist asked me at work if I had "cinta scotch" instead of "cinta adhesiva" (adhesive tape) and my mind went blank, so I told them no. Later I found out I did have what they needed, but I didn't understand what they meant.

    Let me congratulate you for the video! you were super precise and accurate with the information you provided, especially when mentioning and showcasing the influence of indigenous communities on our daily speech.
    Not many are aware of that, and often, little is said about the indigenous peoples of Argentina abroad.

    I know it's not the same, but Lunfardo of Buenos Aires influenced the slangs of Southeastern Brazil a lot, and consequently all Brazilian (Portuguese): acomodado, bacana (cool, awesome, fine) , cagaço (fright), cagüetar, bife (slap), Dar bola (give atention), Capote, cana (prison), coco (head), entregar (report someone), fajuto (something of bad quality), gatuno, gaiola, gozar (to reach sex climax), mango (bucks), mano a mano, milico, tira (cop), vaquinha (crowdfunding), janta.

    I was in Uruguay and Argentina last year. I'm an English speaker who is fluent in European Spanish. Rioplatense Spanish wasn't hard to understand at all, though they really have many unusual words, like "pancho" for hotdog and "buque" for boat and "customizar" for customise, to name a few. You understand it all in the context.

    I would agree that most issues with other spanish speakers understanding spanish from the Río de la Plata comes mostly from specific regional vocabulary and slang. Even between Argentina and Uruguay we have those situations sometimes. For example when we call buses "Ómnibus" in Uruguay and they call them "Colectivo" in Argentina. Or "Championes" vs "Zapatillas", "Bizcochos" vs "Facturas", etc.

Here I tell you an anecdote that can help you with the question: "Do speakers of other varieties ever have trouble understanding you?": I am an english teacher and in one of my lessons my student and I were chatting in spanish about something and I said: "mi garrafa está rota" to which he responds: your what????? and I was trying to explain what a garrafa was (it is a recepient which contains bottled gas) and so he says: ooooh la bombona... we spent like 10 mins trying to stop laughing and clarifying the term. In Argentina, the term"bombona" is a compliment generally done by men but we don't see it as a nice one depeding on who says that lol. Thanks for the video, everything is 100 % true.

      El Rioplatense es realmente castellano o español con una entonación (el "canto" como si dijéramos) marcadamente influenciada por la del español de la región del norte de España llamada Galicia (y no por el italiano) y con una pronunciación del sur de España a la que se le agregó una característica añadida "nueva" (de unos 150 años para acá) que es el "yeísmo rehilado" ; y la única aportación italiana que tiene es el de algunas palabras italianas, aunque éstas no se han incorporado a todo el Rioplatense sino sólo a algunas determinadas subvariedades más localizadas

    Es como en cualquier otro idioma, uno habla como uno está acostumbrado, y si la otra persona parece no entender algo, entonces uno automáticamente habla mas claro. Por eso, a los que no hablan español les digo esto, una vez que aprendas cualquier acento de español, vas a poder entender y dialogar con cualquier hispanohablante. De nuevo, si al principio escuchas que están hablando extremadamente rápido, solo pregunta y la persona ajustará su velocidad y escogerá palabras más neutrales (menos regionalismos).

      Si un americano aprende el español de México.... no podrá entender lo que dicen el resto de los hispano parlantes e incluso los mexicanos les impondrán su cultura como " cultura líder" y así los anglos tendrán el mismo concepto triste de siempre respecto a los latinos y sigue el racismo/ clasismo.. Lo comprobé varias veces.
      Cuando los anglos viajan y conocen Argentina, Uruguay e incluso Chile... ven a los latinos como seres humanos y ya no los ven como animalitos" Su visión del mundo cambia....Es una verdad que duele pero alguien tiene que explicarlo.

    14:11 Born in Argentina, Buenos Aires, I'm a native Rioplatense spanish speaker. Yes, there are lots of time when people don't understand or I don't understand others. Some vaguely believe that it's due to the vocabulary, slang and pronunciation, but the reality is that we sometimes have poor articulation (how we pronounce consonants, vowels and the mix of them) when speaking informally.
    Also, to my mind, there are slight differences between people on how we pronounce some words, but it's just the way we speak.

    I was asked by a Spanish professor if I had learned Spanish from a Rioplatense speaker because of my accent. She had spent much of her childhood in Buenos Aires, so it was the dialect she was most familiar with. My teacher was not a native speaker, though quite fluent, she was from southern Italy and had learned Spanish as a teen in NYC. The professor picked up on the touch of 'sing-song' I had picked up from her.

But i think it is notorious because it is not only understandable to other regions but also fun and interesting to listen to. A lot of recent spanish and latam memes feature this "porteño" intonation and pronunciation for this reason.
