Hi y'all! I know this is just a compilation, but I promise that original long-form content will be coming out soon! I have a lot of plans for September! A video I'll be posting in two weeks has already been uploaded on my Patreon so head over there if you are interested in seeing it. The UA-cam release has been a little delayed due to some revisions that have to be made to the video. Hope you enjoy this compilation in the meantime
Hey, you did a great job. Only one mistake about the H in ahora and prohibir. You made a flase claim and could make people learn the wrong way ton read the language. Please, be careful. Great job regardless, especially the pronunciation for d, b, and g. Very helpful for those that have an advanced knowledge in spanish and are aiming to be even better!
Me sorprendió eso si la parte de la pronunciación de B, G y D, porque me di cuenta que inconcientemente las mencionamos de forma mas sutil cuando no esta al comienzo, en cambio en otro idiomas les pondrian enfasis siempre XD
hey, spanish speaker here. Just wanted to say that the word "tú" not only has an accent mark because it is an homophone with "tu" but also because they only have one syllable. Other homophones wouldn`t have an accent, such as "vino" which means wine and came.
@@peashotpa3304no, homophones sound the same. "Esta" y "está" sound different. "Esta" follows the rule that when the word ends with a vowel, "s" or "n" then the stress is on the second to last syllable, so it is "ESta". "Está" has the stress on the last syllable, because it has the accent mark there.
And I guess the other exceptions are for words that are used for questions, such as 'cómo' (how) and 'como' (as / I eat) and 'dónde' and 'donde' (both where, but the first one is interrogative) or also 'cuándo' and 'cuando' (when).
That distinction between the same word with different meanings using accents (like que/qué, tu/tú, donde/dónde, como/cómo, etc) doesn’t only use the accent as an arbitrary way of differentiating the words; it uses it because the overall sentence also has a perceivable accent and the accentuated versions of these words are also pronounced differently, with a stress compared to the whole sentence or words next to it instead of within the word.
Exacto, además de ayudar a diferenciarlas mediante el uso de la «tilde diacrítica», en la lengua oral nos sirve para distinguir si esa palabra es *átona* (se une a las siguientes y no destaca: «mi casa») o *tónica* (tiene su propia acentuación y no se une a las consiguientes: «a mí me parece que...»)
As a Spanish speaker, we learn these accentuation rules at school and fortunately they're very easy to follow. However many natives are very careless. Interestingly, when they happen to write in English, they always take care of their spelling. Weird that they care more about English than their own native language, isn't it?
@@mep6302 - I don't think it's weird. I think it has to do with novelty. As a native anglophone, I don't usually worry about my punctuation unless I'm deliberately trying to keep up with it. But as a Spanish learner, I do my best to keep to the formal letter with the Spanish language, to the point where sometimes casual Spanish text can elude me. If you really want the sauce, a buddy of mine wrote down "webos" instead of "huevos" in chat about breakfast and I spent like half an hour trying to figure out if that was some hyper specific North Mexican dish 💀
@@wes4736When I was working in a Californian restaurant soon after highschool, one of the Mexican dishwashers was illiterate and asked me to read a letter for him; the writer wasn't well-educated, and one of their common mistakes was writing "llo" instead of "yo"
Omg, this is amazing. I was already using your shorts to remind me of certainly details as I'm learning Spanish, and this compilation combines all of them and adds more that I have not even seen. The accent marks is a life saver.
@@Martin-sd6gk No, Puerto Rico uses the l after a vowel, not before, so it's still perro. That sounds more like an asian accent from languages without a rolling R
I'm a couple years into learning Spanish and I have completely fallen in love with the langauge and this is the kind of content I can't get enough of! Even though I have already seen the shorts on their own, I love compilations to be able to put on when I am too fried to formally study but want to still engage with the language somehow while, for instance, getting ready for bed. Keep up the great work!
@@almaalbarea3887 Muchas gracias por las amables palabras, me encantan las conexiones que me ha permitido hacer con hispanohablantes! Y lo dijiste perfectamente ❤️ Hopefully I said that properly myself lol
@@SurfTheSkylinebuen español. lo mejor del español es que no debes preocuparte mucho por los sonidos de cada vocal (vowels) por que solo tenemos un sonido por vocal. but the hard part of spanish is the grammar rules and maybe the part of put a "genre" in some words. for example: in Mexico we say: El xbox. but in spain they say: la xbox. so sometimes the genre thing in words is weird but don't worry, the people will understand you
About the letter b,d,g... as a spanish native speaker i literally cannot hear the difference, and the case will be that nobody will care/notice the difference, specially the difference between d and g pronunciation
Yes. It's something you don't notice until you hear a foreigner speak. They tend to pronounce b d g very "hard" for our Spanish ears. For example, in English this distinction doesn't exist so if you don't realize you're doing it, you'll have an accent for native English speakers.
Es que no percibimos la diferencia porque esos sonidos en español son alófonos, es decir, variables de un mismo fonema. Sabés que, por ejemplo, la "d" se va a pronunciar con varios sonidos distintos (aunque no lo sepas conscientemente, tu cerebro así lo interpreta).
@@LicMegags puedes poner palabras de ejemplo? por que yo tampoco noto la diferencia... y como en los paises en los que e estado todos hablan como les da la gana no creo que exista como tal una pronunciación mala o buena en una variante sutil del sonido.
Iba a decir que todas las esdrújulas siguen las mismas 2 normas. Es decir, no hay norma para esdrújulas sin acento, por lo tanto todas llevan acento... Pero me acabo de dar cuenta que los adverbios terminados en -mente no llevan acento si la palabra original tampoco lo llevaban. No hay regla para las sobreesdrújulas por lo que siempre llevan acento.
@@DiThi Los adverbios terminados en -mente son graves, nunca esdrújulas, pero también una excepción particular a las reglas de acentuación debido a cómo están formados, y porque son las únicas palabras con doble acento: el principal es la sílaba -men- de -mente y el secundario la sílaba tónica del adjetivo original en femenino que conforma el adverbio. Así, "rápidamente" tiene acento principal en -men- y acento secundario en rá-.
Hola, voy a intentar expandir un poco más lo que has dicho en el vídeo. Las reglas de acentuación que nos enseñan en la escuela son las siguientes: - Las palabras agudas llevan tilde si acaban en n, s o vocal. - Las palabras llanas llevan tilde cuando NO acaban en n, s o vocal. - Las palabras esdrújulas o sobreesdrújulas llevan tilde siempre. La tilde que utilizamos para diferenciar palabras como "tú" y "tu" se llama 'tilde diacrítica' y la razón por la que palabras como "vino" no la utilizan es que solo se da en palabras monosílabas. Por otra parte, palabras como "tía", "Raúl" o "mío" llevan tilde porque hay una regla adicional: los hiatos con vocal cerrada tónica y vocal abierta átona siempre llevan tilde. Voy a explicar cada término: un hiato es la ruptura de la unión de dos vocales en la misma sílaba, una vocal tónica es la que tiene el "acento tónico" en la palabra y una vocal átona, la que no; las vocales cerradas son la "i" y la "u" y las abiertas, la "a", la "e" y la "o". Dos vocales abiertas siempre forman un hiato (aéreo, es esdrújula), dos vocales cerradas forman un diptongo (ciudad) y una abierta y una cerrada forman un diptongo salvo en el caso que ya he mencionado (piano y búho, la "h" no impide los hiatos o diptongos). Así que ahora ya sabes cómo funcionan las tildes a la perfección. Por último, te ha faltado un origen para la "h": los espíritus ásperos de las palabras que hemos tomado del griego. Por ejemplo: la palabra ὕδωρ 'agua' lleva espíritu áspero, por eso todas los vocablos en español que provengan de esa palabra se escribirán con "h", es un rastro etimológico. Ej.: hidrógeno, hidratación, hidrográfico...
Fun fact: since the orthographic reform of 2010, Spanish officially added the accent mark to the «ý» whenever it works as a vowel and requires to be accented. This was mainly to preserve the archaic spellings in some names and words that were having issues being read because of the lack of the accent mark. Examples are Aýna, Laýna, Laýnez, otrosý, roýdo, Ýscar, Ýñiguez, Monteserýn, Comýn, etc.
@@mep6302 it's pretty much a very obscure fact. Barely anyone knows about it but it's a rule that can be easily found in the accentuation rules section in the 2010 orthography. As well as in the fundéu website and even Spanish Wikipedia (article about ý)
@@JuHerSua99 es que es un dato muy obscuro y poco conocido. Se oficializó con la ortografía del 2010 y viene incluïdo en la misma sección de las reglas de acentuación gráficas. También Wikipedia en español tiene una mención a ese hecho en el artículo de «ý». Igualmente se puede encontrar los datos sobre «ý» en la web de Fundéu y la RAE
@LauStrf la verdad yo estoy sumamente a favor de acentuar extranjerismos con esa letra, por ejemplo: cýber, hýper, Denýs, ýpsilon, etc. Así le daríamos más uso y adaptaríamos más fácilmente los extranjerismos al castellano más rápido
11:00 actually not, the word wei or güey comes from the Nahuatl language, it comes from the word “huey” and it is an honorific like -san or -chan in Japanese. Huey was an honorific that was told to aztec royalty and nobility (like Huey Tlatoani, the official title of aztec emperors)
Other insteresting thing is the "s" sound. In some Spain dialects, is alveolar, but in Andalucía, is a voiceless denti-alveolar sibilant [s̪̻]. In my dialect (peruvian from the north coast) is a laminal alveolar.
Southern accents in Spain (including distinción areas of Andalucia which also exist) and the paisa accent of Colombia for example. Their S sounds don't match your description.
@@Luritsas Yes, you have reason, I made a mistake. In my dialect (peruvian from the north coast), my "s" sound is laminal alveolar (but sometimes I think it's an postal-alveolar, I'm not sure).
@@alguient1298 Una corrección desde mi conocimiento, el "tienes razón" no se traduce literalmente al inglés, lo correcto en este caso sería "you're right".
Years ago the RAE changed several rules that honestly are more of a harm than a step forward. The RAE changed the name of the letter Y "i griega" and now they call it "Ye". It's been 14 years since the reform and I refuse to call it anything else. That's how I've known it all my life.
If u guys want to write something in spanish, my recommendation is to always put an accent on the "ó", in a word that ends with "cion". Most of the times they have an accent lol
5:25 In Portuguese all then continues with F Harina (es) = Farinha (pt) Hacer (es) = Fazer (pt) = Facere (lat.) Hierro (es) = Ferro (pt) = Ferrum (lat.) Hijo (es) = Filho (pt) = Filius (lat.)
I've always thought that Portuguese and Medieval Spanish are very similar! It feels like Spanish threw out most of its features over time while Portuguese kept them
@@Alejandroso31 In this case it has nothing to do with old Spanish. All romance languages kept the F. Spanish is the exception: Harina -> Farinha (pt) -> Farina (it) -> Farine (fr) -> Farina (cat) -> Făină (ru) Hacer -> Facer -> Fare -> Faire -> Fer -> Do (rumanian changed the auxilary verb altogether) Hijo -> Filho -> Figlio -> Fils -> Fill -> Fiule Hierro -> Ferro -> Ferro -> Ferro -> Fer -> Ferro -> Fier
I didn't know I was pronouncing the D wrong as a Spanish learner myself, I've been softening EVERY d to the vocalized th. Guess I gotta get that nuance down next in my pronunciation.
Don’t fixate on that, there are many other more important things tbh. And you’ll never sound native, unless you choose a city/region and stick 100% to that accent, you’ll always sound like a foreigner lol
i mean he didnt either. it was just an example of a word that came from english that kept its H. although i could see how that part was confusing. he said that words from other languages keep the H and SOMETIMES they're still pronounced. not that all 3 of his examples would pronounce the H
@@SunshineTheLover He did. The word doesn't even come from english, but from the french hélicoptère (and then translated to spanish as helicóptero) and the H isn't even pronounced, which was the point of adding that list to begin with.
Vos comes from the Old Spanish and it's easy to conjugate it if you think in the still in use plural "vosotros". Instead of "tenéis" remove the i and you get "tenés". That's applicable to basically every verb.
As a native Spanish speaker, I learned things with those videos, I didn’t knew about those rules of accentuation of the first short, I just knew when put accent because of experience and memorize, apart from the thing about acute, flat and proparoxytones (I used a translator for “agudas”, “llanas”, and “esdrújulas”, I don't know if it translated correctly xd)
It's so dizzying to learn about your own language like this, there's things you never even considered you could consider, but when commented and observed by an outside perspective like this, you suddenly become aware of it. It's honestly really interesting.
for the tu vos and usted video. Here in the cundiboyacence dialect (a region in colombia) you might even hear a fourth way "sumerced" wich outside of colombia is seen as overly formal and outdated. but here in colombia is seen as an affectual way to adress someone (or sometimes formal, it all depends on context)
Cool 😎 I’ve been learning on my own and since Spanish is Latin I’ve been treating all words like the stress is at the end of the word unless noted by accent. Thanks
3:44 fun fact: alrededor is the only word in Spanish where you can find an L followed by an R. The rule to pronounce double RR would probably apply also for MR, ÑR, XR (seem to me quite unpronounceable), but there is no word with any of them.
There a video made by langfocus that says that Puerto Rican Spanish had some influence by Portuguese soldiers who were stationed there during the Iberian Union. This is the reason some of us pronounce our RR’s as such since that is the same way it is pronounced in Portuguese. Also for Madre and Padre we sometimes use “Mai” and “Pai” which is considered very informal but also it’s the way to refer to ones parents in Portuguese
They way you explained the accents are very confusing. Check this out. 1) Práctico: the stress falls in the first syllable. If the stress falls in the first syllable, it ALWAYS wears an accent mark. 2) Practicó: the stress falls in the last syllable. If the word ends with a vowel, s or n, it wears an accent mark, otherwise not. 3) Practico: the stress falls in the second to last syllable. If the word ends with a vowel, s or n, it does not wear an accent mark, otherwise an accent mark must be placed. This is right most of the time, there are these cases where a diphthong is broken or adverbs and so on that can be a bit confusing but this of above works 90% of the time at least.
There are two types of words he did not mention. Those are "Esdrújulas" like "práctico", or "geográfico" that ALWAYS wear an accent mark on third to last syllable. And "Sobreesdrújulas" like "dígamelo", or "escríbeselo" that ALWAYS wear an accent mark on fourth to last syllable.
It's not confusing. Neither yours (although in "práctico" I would have say "third to last syllable", since they are way longer esdrújula words, and they're still sobreesdrújulas). He explained it from the point of pronunciation: that's how you know how to pronounce a word from what you read. You explained from the point of view of spelling: that's how you know to spell it from what you hear.
@@guillermocolocho2417 About sobreesdrújulas, they are always verbs conjugated in gerund or imperative plus a indirect object pronoun plus a direct object pronoun.
@@sirgalahamtroskipero4872 It does o.o Cartel is pronounced like "carTEL" because it ends with other letter rather than N, S or vowel, but "cártel" is pronounced "CÁRtel" despite ending in L because it's accentuated on A. EDIT: rearrange the explication to make my point across.
1:43 The explanation is very simple for those cases. Tía is pronounced as /ˈti.ä/ meanwhile if we remove the accent mark (Tia) the stress is now positioned in the "Aa" and it should be pronounced as /tjä/ instead. The same happens with "Mía" pronounced as /ˈmi.ä/. Basically it breaks the dipthong so it is pronounced properly. Same concept with Raúl, it is pronounced as /räˈul/ because if it wasn't the case it would be rather be pronounced as /räu̯l/. Another word that follows this same rule is "Baúl", pronounced as /bäˈul/ instead of /bäu̯l/. If you want to learn this stuff I recommend searching for syllable separation exercises and why they have accent marks like: "Héroe", "Vehículo", "Ajonjolí", "Impermeables" and "Volumen", for example... Another way is "Correct the orthrography of this words": "Inflúyo", "Dificil", "Píel", "Facil", "Buho", "Accíon", "Silába", "Alergico", "Esdrujula" and "Rompansélo".
A sentence like in the last short but the other way around: I woke up, I drank a vase of water, I shaved my bigot and put my lentils. My rope was stained so I introduced it into the washing machine. But then I started sneezing like crazy and felt dizzy: I coudn't go to the fabric today to work because I was constipated. The phone rang but I couldn't contest because I was in the bed. The sound of the phone started to molest me. I'm preoccupied that they will fire me from the fabric. But then I recorded that it's a festive day. (I had too much fun with this and turned a sentence into a paragraph, where everything is wrong)
As a person that speaks Spanish as a first language they say that if the stress is the last it will have the accent when it end n,s or any vowel, if it is in the second last it is the opposite and anything after the third will always have it.
Another sound apart from distinción, seseo and ceceo made here is heheo, in some rural areas in Eastern Andalusia, and very rare nowadays (it's declining and near extinct). They make s,c and z like an English h, so for example, "Si subes cerca del zarzal, se alcanza en una mijilla" would be "Hi hubeh herca'r harhah, he arcãha en una mihiya". What is still more common to hear is the addition of some heheo in the ceceo variety depending on the word. Also, here we do the opposite to Caribbean Spanish, we change the L to an R. So, for example, "malformar" in the Caribbean would be "malfolmal" or "malfolmah", and in Andalusia would be "marformah".
More precisely, if the last vowel is followed (not necessarily immediately) by a consonant other than 'n' or 's', the default stress is on the last syllable. In "robots", the last letter is 's', but there is a 't' after the last vowel, so the stress is on the last syllable, the same as the singular "robot".
0:01 As a native spanish, both spanish and catalan speaking person (catalan has 2 types of accent marks (` and ´) i can say that i forget about accent marks unless i remember the word has it. An example is "Bé" and "Be" (in catalan), i remembered it from using it, because "Bé" means good, like in an examle, "Ho has fet bé", that means "You did it well", but "Be" means Sheep, so yea, but i forget about many accent marks, and i don't think i'm an exeption, as i normaly write in computers with no accent marks (unless auto correct) and in the cases i said writing in paper, well, just a comentary, you did a great job i guess, didn't really remember how to reconize where are the accents, i just remember that the word syllable, i belive in catalan.
and for the example of dedo, you can spell in the way what you want, the people will understand you because for spanish we don't need so much the phonetic alphabet, just for certain words like caro and carro (expensive and car)
Never thought about the accent marks used as exceptions on accentuation rules. They were taught to me as the inverse, having an accent mark is the rule, and not having one the exception. Which doesn’t make much sense when you start looking at it and there are not that many words with accent marks.
12:42 you missed: "No entendí un pedo" (no entendi nada) "No se ve un pedo" (no se ve nada) "Estoy al pedo" (estoy sin nada que hacer / estoy haciendo nada / estoy perdiendo el tiempo) "Te entendí de pedo" (te entendí de suerte/casualidad) "No lo vi de pedo" (No lo ví de suerte/casualidad)
6:10 we dont have a lisp. a lisp is a speech impairment, we dont have one, we just pronounce it different. some people would argue the rest of the world does since it isnt ''castellano'', (but Im from the south where the seseo originates from so I beg to differ) so yeah, we do not have a lisp, its a crazy thing to say that THE COUNTRY SPANISH ORIGINATES FROM has a lisp, like the whole country, no broski I can still pronounce the S sound. crazy statement.
So with the "G" turning into "H" in some words, is that why the "Gila River" in New Mexico is still spelled with a "G" but pronounced halfway between a "G" and the silent "H"?
Yay i actually did knowt his rule. Spanish is absolutely the most sensible language.. You should Do the broad with broad slender with slender rule of Irish Gaelic and the accent rules.A lot of people get mixed up know as i've noticed but there is a really sensible rule
That's crazy, as I native Spanish speaker I never got taught these rules, and I can see why. These are more helpful to non-natives I got taught that we have 4 types of words. The ones that are stressed on the last syllable (agudas), then the ones stressed before the last one (graves), and the ones before (esdrújulas) and so forth (sobreesdrújuls). Both esdrújulas and sobreesdrújulas always get the accent Graves only get the accent if the last syllable does not end in a vowel, or n or s And agudas get the accent only if they end in vowel, n or s But these rules rely on you already knowing how they're pronounced, of course hahahaha
13:03 Spanish has three words for “you”(tú, vos y usted), skipping plurals forms as “ustedes” also people from Spain saying “vosotros” or even people from central Colombia saying “sumercé” 👀
in Costa Rica we use both "usted" and "vos" depending on the region and the level of respect or closeness you have. For example, I myself only use usted :)
Que tu qué?! Diablo papi no. Ve a que te corten el frenillo. As another Puerto Rican, I do roll my Rs in Spanish but obviously not in English. I do not use the velarized R unless I am speaking Portuguese, I don’t substitute my Rs for Ls, and I don’t turn final Ss into Hs. I also don’t like using mai and pai, ever since my mom scolded me for that when I was 9 and said that “eso es de jíbaro de campo”, and it stuck.
@@marinaaaa2735 Not all of us speak that way. In fact, I would argue that most of us that have higher education and are from the San Juan metropolitan area do not speak like what “standard Puertorican Spanish” is characterized as. Especially those of us who are in healthcare with some kind of doctors degree.

hello people who are dealing with the accent marks. don't worry too much for this, when you start to talk even without the correct accent mark, the people will understand you. there are a lot of spanish speakers that we don't use correctly this accents but still being understandable

Atleast the guy at the end was confident enough to speak the foreign language hes learning. I probably should be more confident with spanish but im not. I know im not gonna be understood.
Not only you’ll be understood, people will feel ‘honored’ you cared to learn Spanish! They will instantly like you more just for trying to speak in their language. Unlike English or French native speakers, the rest of the world is rather appreciative of foreigners learning their national language, specially if they achieve some sort of proficiency.
All I want to know is if TheLingotter has Spanish or latin roots? 🤔 I really want to become a great linguistic and this content is so helpfully and entertaining , thanks ✨
I think I hear a little more variability in when the pronunciation of b or d changes, and I wonder if it's just different dialects I'm hearing, or if I'm just hearing it wrong. I'm not a native speaker, but I listen to a lot of music in Spanish by singers from different parts of the world, and maybe some of it is just an artifact of singing instead of speaking (like how 'r' can be rolled for artistic effect while singing), but I've definitely heard what sounded to me like "vever" when the lyric is "beber", and I've heard some Spanish speakers say they think b/v are fully interchangeable (though I get fluent speakers can be unaware of the nuances of how they speak). I have also heard a lot of 'r' sounds, especially at the end of words, as more of a voiced breathy sound rather than fully rolled or tapped.
B and v are actually interchangeable sound-wise, there’s no distinction whatsoever in Spanish. There used to be one, but it was “lost” ages ago. Many times, people whose first language does the distinction will think we do that in Spanish too, but that’s not the case. Both sounds co-exist, and a native speaker may say “beber” and in the next sentence say “bever”, and then say “vever” (with b and v sounding as in English for the example). That’s why it’s so hard for Spanish speakers to consciously do the distinction when speaking English or other languages, since we don’t do it in Spanish we are so used to think both sounds are actually the same, they are simply a “b-sound” (or v-sound) to us lol
I think it depends of the dialect, I'm from spain and we pronounce the b/d/g very soft when they're inside of a word and you can hear the difference of pronunciation when it's at the beginning or middle of the word. Usually when I talk to latinos they tend to hit the consonnants a bit harder than us, especially the G. They would say paGar rather than paghar as we do in spain.
Him: the second d in dedo is pronounced like a soft d Me trying to pronounce dedo: De'o. De'o. De; do. De'o. A 'onde. A'iestramiento. A'elante ahhh I can't help completely omitting the soft d unless I have to focus on actually pronuncing that sound Greetings from Argentina btw

Native speaker here. Crazy how this dude expained accentuation rules better than my school ever did.
That distinction between the same word with different meanings using accents (like que/qué, tu/tú, donde/dónde, como/cómo, etc) doesn’t only use the accent as an arbitrary way of differentiating the words; it uses it because the overall sentence also has a perceivable accent and the accentuated versions of these words are also pronounced differently, with a stress compared to the whole sentence or words next to it instead of within the word.
Exacto, además de ayudar a diferenciarlas mediante el uso de la «tilde diacrítica», en la lengua oral nos sirve para distinguir si esa palabra es *átona* (se une a las siguientes y no destaca: «mi casa») o *tónica* (tiene su propia acentuación y no se une a las consiguientes: «a mí me parece que...»)

As a Spanish speaker, we learn these accentuation rules at school and fortunately they're very easy to follow. However many natives are very careless.

@@SurfTheSkyline Aaaaw thank you!!! Your Spanish is really good too!!!
@@SurfTheSkylinebuen español. lo mejor del español es que no debes preocuparte mucho por los sonidos de cada vocal (vowels) por que solo tenemos un sonido por vocal.
but the hard part of spanish is the grammar rules and maybe the part of put a "genre" in some words.
for example: in Mexico we say: El xbox. but in spain they say: la xbox.
so sometimes the genre thing in words is weird but don't worry, the people will understand you
About the letter b,d,g... as a spanish native speaker i literally cannot hear the difference, and the case will be that nobody will care/notice the difference, specially the difference between d and g pronunciation
In that section i was like, it's the same sound, but still when i think about my mouth movements there is a slight difference, it's weird
Personally, when I hear someone pronounce those I can easily figure out that he's a stranger
Yes. It's something you don't notice until you hear a foreigner speak. They tend to pronounce b d g very "hard" for our Spanish ears. For example, in English this distinction doesn't exist so if you don't realize you're doing it, you'll have an accent for native English speakers.
Es que no percibimos la diferencia porque esos sonidos en español son alófonos, es decir, variables de un mismo fonema. Sabés que, por ejemplo, la "d" se va a pronunciar con varios sonidos distintos (aunque no lo sepas conscientemente, tu cerebro así lo interpreta).
@@LicMegags puedes poner palabras de ejemplo? por que yo tampoco noto la diferencia... y como en los paises en los que e estado todos hablan como les da la gana no creo que exista como tal una pronunciación mala o buena en una variante sutil del sonido.
¡Gracias! Acabo de descubrir tu canal, y me encanta.
Esdrújulas: ¿ Y yo hablo en chino o qué papi?
Sobreesdrújulas: todos se olvidan de mí 😢.
¿Y las sobresdrújulas? :(
Iba a decir que todas las esdrújulas siguen las mismas 2 normas. Es decir, no hay norma para esdrújulas sin acento, por lo tanto todas llevan acento... Pero me acabo de dar cuenta que los adverbios terminados en -mente no llevan acento si la palabra original tampoco lo llevaban. No hay regla para las sobreesdrújulas por lo que siempre llevan acento.
@@DiThi Los adverbios terminados en -mente son graves, nunca esdrújulas, pero también una excepción particular a las reglas de acentuación debido a cómo están formados, y porque son las únicas palabras con doble acento: el principal es la sílaba -men- de -mente y el secundario la sílaba tónica del adjetivo original en femenino que conforma el adverbio. Así, "rápidamente" tiene acento principal en -men- y acento secundario en rá-.
Hola, voy a intentar expandir un poco más lo que has dicho en el vídeo.
Las reglas de acentuación que nos enseñan en la escuela son las siguientes:
- Las palabras agudas llevan tilde si acaban en n, s o vocal.
- Las palabras llanas llevan tilde cuando NO acaban en n, s o vocal.
- Las palabras esdrújulas o sobreesdrújulas llevan tilde siempre.
La tilde que utilizamos para diferenciar palabras como "tú" y "tu" se llama 'tilde diacrítica' y la razón por la que palabras como "vino" no la utilizan es que solo se da en palabras monosílabas.
Por otra parte, palabras como "tía", "Raúl" o "mío" llevan tilde porque hay una regla adicional: los hiatos con vocal cerrada tónica y vocal abierta átona siempre llevan tilde. Voy a explicar cada término: un hiato es la ruptura de la unión de dos vocales en la misma sílaba, una vocal tónica es la que tiene el "acento tónico" en la palabra y una vocal átona, la que no; las vocales cerradas son la "i" y la "u" y las abiertas, la "a", la "e" y la "o". Dos vocales abiertas siempre forman un hiato (aéreo, es esdrújula), dos vocales cerradas forman un diptongo (ciudad) y una abierta y una cerrada forman un diptongo salvo en el caso que ya he mencionado (piano y búho, la "h" no impide los hiatos o diptongos).
Así que ahora ya sabes cómo funcionan las tildes a la perfección.
Por último, te ha faltado un origen para la "h": los espíritus ásperos de las palabras que hemos tomado del griego. Por ejemplo: la palabra ὕδωρ 'agua' lleva espíritu áspero, por eso todas los vocablos en español que provengan de esa palabra se escribirán con "h", es un rastro etimológico. Ej.: hidrógeno, hidratación, hidrográfico...
Fun fact: since the orthographic reform of 2010, Spanish officially added the accent mark to the «ý» whenever it works as a vowel and requires to be accented. This was mainly to preserve the archaic spellings in some names and words that were having issues being read because of the lack of the accent mark. Examples are Aýna, Laýna, Laýnez, otrosý, roýdo, Ýscar, Ýñiguez, Monteserýn, Comýn, etc.
Really? This is the first time I heard about this
no he escuchado esto jamas T_T
@@mep6302 it's pretty much a very obscure fact. Barely anyone knows about it but it's a rule that can be easily found in the accentuation rules section in the 2010 orthography. As well as in the fundéu website and even Spanish Wikipedia (article about ý)
@@JuHerSua99 es que es un dato muy obscuro y poco conocido. Se oficializó con la ortografía del 2010 y viene incluïdo en la misma sección de las reglas de acentuación gráficas. También Wikipedia en español tiene una mención a ese hecho en el artículo de «ý». Igualmente se puede encontrar los datos sobre «ý» en la web de Fundéu y la RAE
@LauStrf la verdad yo estoy sumamente a favor de acentuar extranjerismos con esa letra, por ejemplo: cýber, hýper, Denýs, ýpsilon, etc. Así le daríamos más uso y adaptaríamos más fácilmente los extranjerismos al castellano más rápido
11:00 actually not, the word wei or güey comes from the Nahuatl language, it comes from the word “huey” and it is an honorific like -san or -chan in Japanese. Huey was an honorific that was told to aztec royalty and nobility (like Huey Tlatoani, the official title of aztec emperors)
1:45 Raúl mentioned
Other insteresting thing is the "s" sound. In some Spain dialects, is alveolar, but in Andalucía, is a voiceless denti-alveolar sibilant [s̪̻].
In my dialect (peruvian from the north coast) is a laminal alveolar.
That's a generalization but there are accents within both Spain and latinamerica that pronounce it the opposite way.
Southern accents in Spain (including distinción areas of Andalucia which also exist) and the paisa accent of Colombia for example. Their S sounds don't match your description.
@@Luritsas Yes, you have reason, I made a mistake.

Years ago the RAE changed several rules that honestly are more of a harm than a step forward. The RAE changed the name of the letter Y "i griega" and now they call it "Ye". It's been 14 years since the reform and I refuse to call it anything else. That's how I've known it all my life.
Sin embargo la RAE aún al día de hoy acepta el uso del nombre "i griega", el único cambio que hizo en este sentido fue el de recomendar llamarla "ye".
UA-cam: hey, I know you're a spanish speaker but do you want to learn how to pronounce your language?
The chilean: Hmmm... I'm interested.
If u guys want to write something in spanish, my recommendation is to always put an accent on the "ó", in a word that ends with "cion". Most of the times they have an accent lol
5:25 In Portuguese all then continues with F
Harina (es) = Farinha (pt)
Hacer (es) = Fazer (pt) = Facere (lat.)
Hierro (es) = Ferro (pt) = Ferrum (lat.)
Hijo (es) = Filho (pt) = Filius (lat.)
I've always thought that Portuguese and Medieval Spanish are very similar! It feels like Spanish threw out most of its features over time while Portuguese kept them
@@Alejandroso31 In this case it has nothing to do with old Spanish. All romance languages kept the F. Spanish is the exception:
Harina -> Farinha (pt) -> Farina (it) -> Farine (fr) -> Farina (cat) -> Făină (ru)

Hijo -> Filho -> Figlio -> Fils -> Fill -> Fiule
Hierro -> Ferro -> Ferro -> Ferro -> Fer -> Ferro -> Fier
I didn't know I was pronouncing the D wrong as a Spanish learner myself, I've been softening EVERY d to the vocalized th. Guess I gotta get that nuance down next in my pronunciation.

Yes, everybody is going to understand you anyway, so it's fine XD
Don’t fixate on that, there are many other more important things tbh. And you’ll never sound native, unless you choose a city/region and stick 100% to that accent, you’ll always sound like a foreigner lol

La h es una j muy suave
@@SunshineTheLover He did. The word doesn't even come from english, but from the french hélicoptère (and then translated to spanish as helicóptero) and the H isn't even pronounced, which was the point of adding that list to begin with.
thank you LingOtter for talking a lot about Spanish. kuddos from Mexico
Vos comes from the Old Spanish and it's easy to conjugate it if you think in the still in use plural "vosotros". Instead of "tenéis" remove the i and you get "tenés".
That's applicable to basically every verb.

As a native Spanish speaker, I learned things with those videos, I didn’t knew about those rules of accentuation of the first short, I just knew when put accent because of experience and memorize, apart from the thing about acute, flat and proparoxytones (I used a translator for “agudas”, “llanas”, and “esdrújulas”, I don't know if it translated correctly xd)
as a native spanish speaker, there was actually something new i learned
It's so dizzying to learn about your own language like this, there's things you never even considered you could consider, but when commented and observed by an outside perspective like this, you suddenly become aware of it. It's honestly really interesting.

Cool 😎 I’ve been learning on my own and since Spanish is Latin I’ve been treating all words like the stress is at the end of the word unless noted by accent. Thanks

No me hagas caso, es solo youtube recomendándome cosas aleatoriamente a ver si le atina.
3:44 fun fact: alrededor is the only word in Spanish where you can find an L followed by an R. The rule to pronounce double RR would probably apply also for MR, ÑR, XR (seem to me quite unpronounceable), but there is no word with any of them.
It's funny to watch this hablando español jaja la re vivía.
Me as a native spanish speaker:
Interesante 🤔
Soft D is not fully a TH… It’s a different manner of articulating D.
There a video made by langfocus that says that Puerto Rican Spanish had some influence by Portuguese soldiers who were stationed there during the Iberian Union.
This is the reason some of us pronounce our RR’s as such since that is the same way it is pronounced in Portuguese.
Also for Madre and Padre we sometimes use “Mai” and “Pai” which is considered very informal but also it’s the way to refer to ones parents in Portuguese
They way you explained the accents are very confusing. Check this out.
1) Práctico: the stress falls in the first syllable. If the stress falls in the first syllable, it ALWAYS wears an accent mark.
2) Practicó: the stress falls in the last syllable. If the word ends with a vowel, s or n, it wears an accent mark, otherwise not.
3) Practico: the stress falls in the second to last syllable. If the word ends with a vowel, s or n, it does not wear an accent mark, otherwise an accent mark must be placed.
This is right most of the time, there are these cases where a diphthong is broken or adverbs and so on that can be a bit confusing but this of above works 90% of the time at least.
There are two types of words he did not mention. Those are "Esdrújulas" like "práctico", or "geográfico" that ALWAYS wear an accent mark on third to last syllable. And "Sobreesdrújulas" like "dígamelo", or "escríbeselo" that ALWAYS wear an accent mark on fourth to last syllable.
It's not confusing. Neither yours (although in "práctico" I would have say "third to last syllable", since they are way longer esdrújula words, and they're still sobreesdrújulas). He explained it from the point of pronunciation: that's how you know how to pronounce a word from what you read. You explained from the point of view of spelling: that's how you know to spell it from what you hear.
@@guillermocolocho2417 About sobreesdrújulas, they are always verbs conjugated in gerund or imperative plus a indirect object pronoun plus a direct object pronoun.
@@azarishiba2559 still, his explanation doesn't cover cases like "cártel" and "cartel". Mine does
@@sirgalahamtroskipero4872 It does o.o Cartel is pronounced like "carTEL" because it ends with other letter rather than N, S or vowel, but "cártel" is pronounced "CÁRtel" despite ending in L because it's accentuated on A.
EDIT: rearrange the explication to make my point across.
Thank you for putting Puertorican Spanish on the spotlight!
1:43 The explanation is very simple for those cases.
Tía is pronounced as /ˈti.ä/ meanwhile if we remove the accent mark (Tia) the stress is now positioned in the "Aa" and it should be pronounced as /tjä/ instead. The same happens with "Mía" pronounced as /ˈmi.ä/. Basically it breaks the dipthong so it is pronounced properly.
Same concept with Raúl, it is pronounced as /räˈul/ because if it wasn't the case it would be rather be pronounced as /räu̯l/.
Another word that follows this same rule is "Baúl", pronounced as /bäˈul/ instead of /bäu̯l/.
If you want to learn this stuff I recommend searching for syllable separation exercises and why they have accent marks like: "Héroe", "Vehículo", "Ajonjolí", "Impermeables" and "Volumen", for example...
Another way is "Correct the orthrography of this words": "Inflúyo", "Dificil", "Píel", "Facil", "Buho", "Accíon", "Silába", "Alergico", "Esdrujula" and "Rompansélo".
Native speaker here, wtf is a rompansélo? Also, it's cute you use the Germanic ä to write romanic vowels
@@KCrucis Well, if you're a Native speaker you may know that "Something" is wrong with that word, so you must fix it.
Hint: It's a conjugated verb.
@@m4rloncha oh, think I got a mind glitch, sounded like a music instrument pff, is pretty rare to use such a blunt word in imperative and plural
Accent marks are so easy in Spanish.
A sentence like in the last short but the other way around:
I woke up, I drank a vase of water, I shaved my bigot and put my lentils. My rope was stained so I introduced it into the washing machine. But then I started sneezing like crazy and felt dizzy: I coudn't go to the fabric today to work because I was constipated. The phone rang but I couldn't contest because I was in the bed. The sound of the phone started to molest me. I'm preoccupied that they will fire me from the fabric. But then I recorded that it's a festive day.
(I had too much fun with this and turned a sentence into a paragraph, where everything is wrong)
No te entendí nada, pero supongo que se trata sobre algo del lenguaje que se habla por acá.
The H is used as a silence between letters.
As a person that speaks Spanish as a first language they say that if the stress is the last it will have the accent when it end n,s or any vowel, if it is in the second last it is the opposite and anything after the third will always have it.
Another sound apart from distinción, seseo and ceceo made here is heheo, in some rural areas in Eastern Andalusia, and very rare nowadays (it's declining and near extinct). They make s,c and z like an English h, so for example, "Si subes cerca del zarzal, se alcanza en una mijilla" would be "Hi hubeh herca'r harhah, he arcãha en una mihiya". What is still more common to hear is the addition of some heheo in the ceceo variety depending on the word. Also, here we do the opposite to Caribbean Spanish, we change the L to an R. So, for example, "malformar" in the Caribbean would be "malfolmal" or "malfolmah", and in Andalusia would be "marformah".
El jejeo? Oh my gosh, I have never heard of this. The variety of Spanish dialects and their evolution always intrigues me. ¡Thanks a lot for the info!
I would like to mention that there's also a fourth "You" pronoun "Sumercé", which like "Usted" means "your mercy", but it contracts differently.
Im trying to look for a comment that doesn't include, "as a spanish speaker" here and I can't
i may want to binge this channel when i start learning spanish
2:13 That's incorrect. The sounds are an approximant, not a fricative.

İ actually pronounce the D "espalda" more like TH. But that's probably just my accent.
I was JUST wondering when the next ling otter video is coming out!
The special consonants that make the last syllable stressed are L, R, J, D. Ex, reLOJ.
you're awesome babe
11:45 Me eché* un pedo ✅
Happy thumbnail ottewr :0
More precisely, if the last vowel is followed (not necessarily immediately) by a consonant other than 'n' or 's', the default stress is on the last syllable. In "robots", the last letter is 's', but there is a 't' after the last vowel, so the stress is on the last syllable, the same as the singular "robot".
0:01 As a native spanish, both spanish and catalan speaking person (catalan has 2 types of accent marks (` and ´) i can say that i forget about accent marks unless i remember the word has it.
An example is "Bé" and "Be" (in catalan), i remembered it from using it, because "Bé" means good, like in an examle, "Ho has fet bé", that means "You did it well", but "Be" means Sheep, so yea, but i forget about many accent marks, and i don't think i'm an exeption, as i normaly write in computers with no accent marks (unless auto correct) and in the cases i said writing in paper, well, just a comentary, you did a great job i guess, didn't really remember how to reconize where are the accents, i just remember that the word syllable, i belive in catalan.
Word «obvio» and «subvalorar» have both [b] and [β] sounds: [óβbio] and [suβbalorár], as Spanish «v» works exactly like «b» in all cases.
Jasjasjas I had no idea of this rules. thank you it was very interesting
15:25 these are not false cognates, but false friends
Con el español uno no se aburre. :)
Recomiendo el canal de Linguriosa.
and for the example of dedo, you can spell in the way what you want, the people will understand you because for spanish we don't need so much the phonetic alphabet, just for certain words like caro and carro (expensive and car)
while the H in ahora helps with syllables it comes from a previous /g/
I’m taking a college Spanish class so this helps a lot
Never thought about the accent marks used as exceptions on accentuation rules. They were taught to me as the inverse, having an accent mark is the rule, and not having one the exception. Which doesn’t make much sense when you start looking at it and there are not that many words with accent marks.

6:10 we dont have a lisp. a lisp is a speech impairment, we dont have one, we just pronounce it different. some people would argue the rest of the world does since it isnt ''castellano'', (but Im from the south where the seseo originates from so I beg to differ) so yeah, we do not have a lisp, its a crazy thing to say that THE COUNTRY SPANISH ORIGINATES FROM has a lisp, like the whole country, no broski I can still pronounce the S sound. crazy statement.
Hes not saying everyone has a lisp hes just saying that its a common statement about spain that spain spanish sounds like "latin spanish with a lisp"
Boo boo
So with the "G" turning into "H" in some words, is that why the "Gila River" in New Mexico is still spelled with a "G" but pronounced halfway between a "G" and the silent "H"?
Yay i actually did knowt his rule. Spanish is absolutely the most sensible language.. You should Do the broad with broad slender with slender rule of Irish Gaelic and the accent rules.A lot of people get mixed up know as i've noticed but there is a really sensible rule
OMG I LOVE YOUR VIDEO (soy de argentina ahora puedo hablar con claridad)
That's crazy, as I native Spanish speaker I never got taught these rules, and I can see why. These are more helpful to non-natives
I got taught that we have 4 types of words. The ones that are stressed on the last syllable (agudas), then the ones stressed before the last one (graves), and the ones before (esdrújulas) and so forth (sobreesdrújuls).
Both esdrújulas and sobreesdrújulas always get the accent
Graves only get the accent if the last syllable does not end in a vowel, or n or s
And agudas get the accent only if they end in vowel, n or s
But these rules rely on you already knowing how they're pronounced, of course hahahaha

Im a native spanish speaker and didnt know about the accent rules!
I think I hear a little more variability in when the pronunciation of b or d changes, and I wonder if it's just different dialects I'm hearing, or if I'm just hearing it wrong. I'm not a native speaker, but I listen to a lot of music in Spanish by singers from different parts of the world, and maybe some of it is just an artifact of singing instead of speaking (like how 'r' can be rolled for artistic effect while singing), but I've definitely heard what sounded to me like "vever" when the lyric is "beber", and I've heard some Spanish speakers say they think b/v are fully interchangeable (though I get fluent speakers can be unaware of the nuances of how they speak). I have also heard a lot of 'r' sounds, especially at the end of words, as more of a voiced breathy sound rather than fully rolled or tapped.
B and v are actually interchangeable sound-wise, there’s no distinction whatsoever in Spanish. There used to be one, but it was “lost” ages ago. Many times, people whose first language does the distinction will think we do that in Spanish too, but that’s not the case. Both sounds co-exist, and a native speaker may say “beber” and in the next sentence say “bever”, and then say “vever” (with b and v sounding as in English for the example). That’s why it’s so hard for Spanish speakers to consciously do the distinction when speaking English or other languages, since we don’t do it in Spanish we are so used to think both sounds are actually the same, they are simply a “b-sound” (or v-sound) to us lol
I think it depends of the dialect, I'm from spain and we pronounce the b/d/g very soft when they're inside of a word and you can hear the difference of pronunciation when it's at the beginning or middle of the word. Usually when I talk to latinos they tend to hit the consonnants a bit harder than us, especially the G. They would say paGar rather than paghar as we do in spain.
Him: the second d in dedo is pronounced like a soft d
Me trying to pronounce dedo: De'o. De'o. De; do. De'o. A 'onde. A'iestramiento. A'elante ahhh
I can't help completely omitting the soft d unless I have to focus on actually pronuncing that sound
Greetings from Argentina btw
