    One of my favorite Spanish songs is an example of using the pronoun "vos". It's by Sebastián Yatra, Federico and Eduardo Moreno, and it's called "Respiro".

    Sabía usted que durante la segunda guerra mundial la ciudad de Barranquilla colombia tenía una población extranjera importante (la más grande del país) estaban confirmado mayormente por alemanes italianos e ingleses pero en los años de la guerra fueron movidos a los andes colombianos con la excusa de brindarles mejor seguridad , pero acá viene lo raro es que el que quería seguir viviendo en Barranquilla era acusado de fascista o nazi e inmediatamente encarcelado muchos no tuvieron más opción que aceptar ir a vivir a los andes y otros decidieron emigrar a la Argentina. Hoy en día en esta ciudad la migración que más se da son
    Mexicanos
    Puertorriqueños
    Dominicanos
    Y últimamente muchos rusos y ucranianos supongo que vienen huyendo de la guerra aunque antes de la guerra ya se veían muchos por aca

      In Colombia, all three pronouns (tu, vos, usted) are very common, depending on the region and many other factors that are very interesting.
      But the most unique and strange “pronoun” that people outside Colombia have never heard of is “sumercé” (short version of “su merced”), which is very endearing and affectionate and is mostly used in Boyacá and Cundinamarca states, including Bogotá.

    Hola Ruby. Interesting video, worth my time as always. I'd definitely watch videos on Estradas, neighborhood names reflecting ethnic diversity, language differences, the diversity of Colombia's vegetation and animal life (I think Colombia has about 600 species of birds), and different food habits (adding cheese or bananas to many dishes provides "food" for thought). Anyway, you do a great job, so more videos, please.

    • @byrlink

      Colombia is indeed the country with the highest number of bird species in the world with almost 2000 in total.
      It also occupies the first 4 places in the world in different categories like reptiles, amphibians, mammals, freshwater fish, plants, etc.
      It is the second most biodiverse country on the planet, only after Brazil, which is about six times bigger and where most of the Amazon jungle is located.

    Manizales, Caldas green ad lush, most importantly is also the cradle of coffee country and a hub for Argentine tango. Rich in culture, Manizales has seven universities therefore, a high level of education and plenty of cultural life.. Markedly less expensive than Mexico in every aspect. It is interesting to go to markets and supermarkets where you'll find wonderful chocolate, infinite variety of fruits and vegetables and many different colours of potatoes. Fashion and shoes very reasonably priced; shopkeepers serve you coffee as you shop. Manizales is a wonderful green city with so much to offer.

    I just enjoy listening to you talk and express your thoughts. Columbia is looking better and better the more I see of it and her about it. I would choose to stay up in the mountains like you are because I cant take the heat and humidity of the coast. I do worry a little bit of encountering local differences in Spanish because Spanish is already a second language for me. Mexico is getting crazy expensive in the last few months. just this week I returned to a part of Guadalajara where I stayed for 6 months last year. I knew the prices of my favourite dishes at many restaurants and now when I return the prices for so many things are much higher. same with groceries - the prices of limes and eggs are more than doubled. I dont know how the poor people are surviving now.

      Staying in the mountains also has a few disadvantages... It rains every day but that doesn't bother when you have a beautiful scenery, a great city with everything you need, great people and somehow you find a lot of peace.
      I agree some areas in Mexico are becoming more expensive

    My girlfriend is lives in Bogota and we’ve been everywhere in Colombia. Except Pasto and some interior towns. Manizales is my favorite city, Patty like Medellin best. I wish Mexican food products were more readily available so I could make my salsas. Only In Bogota you can go Mercado Paloquemado for Mexican products. Love the hot springs in Manizales and Periara. Hiking in Salento is incredible!!!!! Cheese in the hot chocolate is a no go for more, cheese in fruit cocktail is very good. Lechon on top of a tamal is my go to dish, wish I had some Yucatán habanero salsa though. Love the malls in Colombia, very new and big. Good eats at the food courts too. Villa de Leyva and Barachato are a must go. And don’t get me started on the beautiful people❤

    One thing understressed is that it is also mostly cloud forest which means few sunny days and a lot of rain that results in major long term road closures due to slides. Buses only cove about 30-40km per hour on average due to winding narrow roads. You need a lot of time to travel around. Otherwise its green and attractive with much to do.
