American was shocked by Spanish Differences!! (Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Cuba, Ecuador) 

in Chile; we say Volantín or Cometa, but Volantín is more common , and we say Chalas , la chala is the singular way.

My parents were born in Chile but I was born and raised in Calgary. I grew up speaking Spanish until I got to grade school. I was in Spanish bilingual from k-12 and all our teachers were from Spain. I have vivid memories of me coming home upset because my teacher and I would get in a fight over all the word differences between Chile and Spain 😂 I remember yelling at my teacher “SE LLAMAN POROTOS!!!”. As I grew up my family just explained Chileans just made a bunch of words up, and a lot of our common expressions have no sense whatsoever but are so funny and unique. Viva chile 🇨🇱❤️

In Chile the Crab, can be "Cangrejo" or "Jaiba", it depends, because we have a specie in particular that we call "Jaiba" (and this has some variations depending of the color)

I find it funny they say Spain spanish sounds formal, because one of the reasons we don't use "Usted/es" as often is precisely because it's usually reserved for business speak. You talk to people in 3rd person to put them above you and be respectful. That's why we use "Vosotros" to bring them down to 2nd person (1st - 2nd person conversation, direct conversation) to put the speaker and the listener at the same level and bring a sense of friendship and trustworthiness to the conversation, which means, to us, the other variants of spanish sound more formal.

Papalote actually comes from the language spoken by the Aztecs, it means butterfly in náhuatl 🦋

Sometimes people forget that Chile is a country that was historically separated from the other viceroyalties of Spain, geographically isolated by the Andes mountain range and the Atacama desert to the north. That is why we are so special and different. 🧐

As a Greek I'm so surprised because of how many words that they're saying are very similar or even the exact same to Greek.. I LOVE IT

In Chile, we speak Spanish, but we have created other words, which have even been admitted by the RAE. Obviously each country in LA has its own mods, but the basic structure of Spanish in all of Latin America can be understood

The Cuban girl is like 😐

Cuban girl looked so miserable to be there, haha but in a cute way, very polite too. Also , have in mind that just as in every country, we all have different accents within region or neighborhoods, etc.

My 1st spanish teacher was puerto rican but by state or school district law, she had to use spanish from spain because it was more "formal". Id get home confused thinking my spanish was wrong lmao. My 2nd spanish teacher was african American but she studied and got fluent in it through out highschool and college. She was really cool since she would like to compare the spanish from mexico and the one she had to teach. Probably one of my favorite teachers in HS tbh

Great video! I just wish you had had an Argentinian or Uruguayan as a representative of "Rioplatense" Spanish, which can be quite different from the ones shown here. Here's the list of the same words in Buenos Aires: 1) Kite = Barrilete 2) Popcorn = Pochoclos 3) Crab = Cangrejo 4) Pen = Lapicera or Birome 5) Flip flops = Ojotas 6) Butt = Cola, but we also have the more playful "Traste" which would be like when Americans say "fanny"

I am from Chile, I think we use the word Volantín much more than cometa, also hawaiana or "chalas" and I use palomitas instead of cabritas, but I think it depends on the area or region because there are also many differences in accents and words depending on which region of chile you come from 😌 👇 Para mí que soy de Chile, creo que usamos la palabra Volantín mucho más que cometa, también usamos hawaiana o chalas y yo uso palomitas en vez de cabritas, pero creo que depende del área o región porque también hay muchas diferencias de acentos y palabras según de que región de Chile vengas 😌

I am a little bit curious about this video, I am Chilean and the Chilean woman doesn't explain that we have different words but we DO use common ones as well like "chalas" meaning flip flops but we also say sandalias for closed sandals. From my point of view, Chilean Spanish is difficult but not as hard as many people think :3 love this video, thanks to everyone involved

Such a great and fun video! As a side anecdote, it is pretty interesting to see differences between different places and regions inside one country. I was born in Desamparados, a city very close to San José and there, at school, everyone used the word "tajador" for pencil sharpeners. When my family went to live to Heredia, a city just around 18 km from the first location, I was pretty puzzled when someone at school, as I was always very well stocked at school, asked for my "maquinilla" and I was like: my machine what? The thing is that basically everyone at Heredia only used the word "maquinilla" for the pencil sharpener and hadn't heard the other word, which was standard for people of the southern side of the Central Valley. In Costa Rica they would be, in order: papalote, palomitas de maíz, cangrejo, lapicero (mainly) or bolígrafo...pluma just applies to a specific type of pen, sandalias (though chanclas and chancletas are also very used, especially if they are meant to be used inside home), trasero or culo (it maybe doesn't have such a strong or slang orientation as in other countries), but also poto is used, though I heard it mainly when I was a child, haven't heard it many times since that.

Amo esto tipos de videos jaja. Recalcar que en Ecuador tambien decimos pluma, boligrafo o boli. En las sandalias tambien decimos zapatillas

LETS BE CLEAR 🇨🇱 accent is very unique and actually very difficult to understand … we can use a neutral spanish of course but NO ESTAMO NI AHI, un tobesi 💋

Shannon comes across as a very open minded, respectful American person and it’s refreshing to see someone truly try to understand and enjoy themselves while doing it

Cometa, and Sandalias are also accepted in Mexico. As for Boli... I guess that one started as Boligrafo which is also accepted in Mexico. Pluma, was used in the past in the Iberian Peninsula and it is still in use in Mexico. We also use Plumon for markers. Culo, trasero, asentaderas, posaderas are also accepted in Mexico.

One of the most valuable tales I take from me being Chilean, is that we can talk as good Spanish as anywhere else, but we have a way to communicate amongst us, which no other Spanish speaking country has. We are unique. Somo lo ma bakanes de este lado del universo. 🙅🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

"What happened with Chile ? That's why they say they don't speak spanish" this is a classic one about Chile , even during some Spanish classes this is spoken about their accent or words

Chile , Colombia , Ecuador and Peru are geographically close to each other , but I like how they each have their own Spanish accents and words

It's so crazy that voices sound kinda different when you switch languages, it's something that always amaze me

More of these videos! Super cool.

La cubana sólo se río cuando hablaron de culos y nalgas. Así somos los cubanos😃

As a chilean there are so many words i asume are standard and their actually exclusive to chile but most people dont say cabritas anymore and we say volantin instead of cometa

In Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 cometa (Kite) is chiringa; popcorn stays popcorn; crab is cangrejo; pen is pluma or bolígrafo

In Chile we don't say "cometa", we say "volantín", that's the only correction that i can do to my compatriot.

Cometa is also used in Mexico but more popular is papalote, the word comes from Nahuatl a native Mexican language that means "butterfly", basically for the natives a kite was very similar to a butterfly and that is why they called it that.

I smiled but also teared up seeing that someone de Ecuador is in this video!! Growing up I never seen anyone that was Ecuadorian included in anything or even seen them around. This made my heart smile as an Ecuatoriana💜🇪🇨 thank youuuuu

¡Por favor! Solo en las películas dobladas al español he escuchado referirse a "kite" como "cometa". En Chile siempre (o casi siempre) se le ha dicho "volantín".

I felt so happy when the Colombian woman mentioned how in Paraguay we say popcorn as "pororó". Actually that word is not in Spanish but Guaraní

The girl from Chile... He said words that at least in my region are not used. This depends a lot on the region where you live. For example, I call him palomitas, cangrejo

Por favoooor, façam um vídeo desses com pessoas de Portugal, Brasil, Cabo Verde, Angola, Moçambique, Guiné-Bissau e Macau. Será épico!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

4:36 The Colombia 🇨🇴 girl’s expression 😳 When she heard the Ecuador 🇪🇨’s word for pen. She was so shocked! 😂😂😂

Gringo: ahora si después de estudiar tantos años ya domino el español Latinoamérica: cagaste

En Ecuador 🇪🇨 al bolígrafo o esferografico también se le dice pluma 🖋y sandalias también zapatillas.. Lo que pasa es que en la costa cambia

I am Spanish and I've known a lot of Native Spanish speaking people and we can communicate perfectly without any problem. For sure I would never get angry because of different vocabularies 😊😊😊

The pen one was interesting to me. Yes, in my family and 🇵🇪, we say “Lapicero”. I never heard that term, “Boligrofo”, from my family or Peru so it could be from a region in Peru other than the capital of Lima. However, I learned Spanish in the 🇺🇸 school system, and we use the word “Pluma” instead in Spanish class, both for writing and speaking. It’s really interesting to see how the word, “pen” has so many different words and meanings in other countries. BTW, I stopped, saying “Pluma and now use “Lapicero” in my Spanish. 😂😂😂

The cuban girl just represent every introvert person

Cuba seems upset... 🤣

The thing with latin American spanish Is that we got a lot of influence from other people that lived in the American continent. For example, If you can find some similar words used in Ecuador, Bolivia, Perú and Chile that's because they all got a lot of influence from the Quechua language. In the other hand in México you can find hella lot of different words for the same thing because we had a lot of prehispanic cultures (Not only the náhuatl language had influence) and also a lot of foreign influence as well (Like the word Troka for truck). Sometimes I feel like some of this Is missrepresented because a lot of us are biased to think that the entirety of our country has our same words and expressions

Man I remember back in 2011, when my family and I traveled to 🇪🇸. We were so confused and alert by the way they spoke Spanish there compared to our 🇵🇪 Spanish. I love this video! Brought back memories of the Spanish dialect. Especially “vosotros” instead of “Nosotros”😂😂😂😂

La cubana parecía un robot 😅 creo así es su forma de ser. No todos somos iguales ❤

Chile y su lindo español JSJsj vamos🇨🇱 somos el mejor pais de chile

Hay varias formas de decir las cosas de un pais a otro. Lo bueno es q dos hispanohablentes igual se entienden fácilmente entre sí (una breve explicación basta).

This is super interesting as an English speaker who has been trying to learn Spanish since childhood lol taking classes in school as a kid, pluma was the norm - relearning as an adult, every program wants to give me bolígrafo - which I knew from school too but pluma was used more. It’s also interesting to see that one app I’ve been using has given me a LOT of these words as alternatives, so they weren’t all complete surprises. It’s hard to figure out, as a nonnative speaker who seeks instruction from a lot of people from different countries, which slang/words/accents im using. From school as a kid, I picked up the habit of pronouncing “ll” as “ja” instead of “ya”, so my pronunciation of “Calle” would be “ca-jyeh” instead of “ca-yeh” - I guess that’s more Colombian? Supposedly? Lol I’m going to sound like a maniac if I try to talk to anyone

Aguante Chile!

In Chile is not cometa, in Chile is volantín.

theyre so simple and calm

more videos with those incredible girls, I am from Ecuador... thank you so much for this video

Hahah the Ecuadorian girl is so true about the use of "animals words" here in Chile, I'm Chilean and I never realized it. "Pasarlo chancho" (to have fun, to enjoy a lot), "Perro" (close friend), "Aperrar" (to be up to some complicated situation or to going to a tough place), "Gallo" (man), "Galla" (woman), "Choro", "Chorito" (someone who like to fight or discuss), "Pollo" (shy, humble), "Cabras" (young women), "aleonar", "ganso" (fool), "pavo" (fool), "vaca" (bad person), "hacer una vaca" (to collect money among friends), "yegua" (crazy woman), etc.

2:30 - 2:34 actually "rositas" kinda makes sense , because the popcorn is shaped like a flower : the seed inside is the nectar and the white flakes around are the petals

¡genial!

I didn't know that Mexico and Cuba shared so many words, Incredible.

I understand perfectly Chilean and it’s a beautiful accent. I don’t know but his girl was talking about. Regards from Spain. Edit: don’t say potorro in Spain…

We in Cuba also say jaiba, it depends on the place you live in. To me lapicero and pluma are different things. Pluma means fountaine pen while lapicero means pen

Magnifico!

It's sometimes said that Chilean accent is the andalusian of Latín América...

The cuban girl! She is so shy! But I like her! More videos with her!

Cometa? En un Chile de nickelodeon lo dirán pero generalmente decimos volantín😅

I've always heard the analogy that Chileans speak Spanish like Australians speak English. There are definitely some interesting differences in nouns, but they're understandable.

6:22 it's curious that she says that "vosotros entendéis" sounds formal when it's just the opposite tú entiendes (informal) *usted* entiende (formal) vosotros entendéis (informal) *ustedes* entienden (formal) if you're talking to 1 child you would use "tú entiendes" (informal) instead of "usted entiende" (formal). Therefore, following this pattern why would you use "ustedes entienden" if you're talking to 2 children? In Spain we'd use "vosotros entendéis" because that's the informal and also regular way to conjugate the verb.

Spanish is so rich, widespread and diverse. Lovely language

❤❤❤ the Peruvian girl!!!! My family is from 🇵🇪. Representing 🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪! Let’s go!

Nacido en satiago de chile , tengo 34 y nunca escuche a nadie decirle palomitas a las cabritas , de hecho las que venden en la calle las venden como cabritas, creo q con la perdida de identidad y la influencia de palabras q se escuchan de programas y peliculas traducidas en mexico los niños empezaran a decir palomitas.... y cabritas es unico se se fijan... ojala estas cosas no se perdieran

es increíble que pude haber entendido todo

I love Chile girl she got me good about that. That Cuba she beautiful. She very quiet.

In Mexico, popcorn is called “palomitas , literally little pigeons because they are white and they fly. “Volar” (literally to fly) Can also be used metaphorically when something runs out very quickly, as if it flew away, which normally happens to popcorn as everybody starts eating from the same box or plate.

In Argentina "cometa" is valid, but we usually say "barrilete". Next is "Pochoclo". "Cangrejo" and King Crab is "Centolla". The pen is officially bolígrafo, but all call them "Birome" due to the name of the inventor in Argentina called Biro. And we use the trademark "Bic" for it also: "dame una bic". Pluma, instead is feather (of birds and for writing and also the stilographic pen, also called "lapicera"). The flip-flops are called "ojotas" which comes from quechua's "ulluta" which was the lingua franca of the nortwest of Argentina, Bolivia and Peru. Sandalias have leather straps and the soles are made of stronger materials, not rubber. With more straps but made of rubber may be a low level sandalia. Traste o trasero is for butt or bottom. Cola won't be used for animals that have tails (because cola is tail). But you may say "la cola del bebé". Culo is a strong word not to be used, although in Argentinas is used in many many idioms: "Salió para el culo"=it went badly or had bad results; "está con cara de culo"=he is upset or angry. Chile has a different Spanish because it has been more isolated than the countries to the north. And Argentina has a special spanish, with similarities in the Uruguay, due to the many influences of inmigration, specially italian. We have many word taken from the italian language.

In Paraguay we say "Pandorga" to the kite, to the popcorn "Pororó", for pen we do say bolígrafo but also "birome", to the flip-flops we say "zapatillas" and I know in Argentina is "ojotas" but it can get confusing because in Argentina zapatillas are like sport-shoes but to those we say "champion" and the rest are pretty similar with the other countries😅

Papalote means Butterfly in nahuatl. Besides chanclas and sandalias, in México we also call sandals guaraches. And pen, we also call it pluma, lapicera, bolígrafo.

Incrível como o português e o espanhol podem ser tão diferentes quando se trata de frutas,animais e certos objetos.

😂😂 good video⚡️

El lenguaje corporal de cada chica llamó mi atención. Queda claro en los lugares donde se trabaja ése aspecto en comparación con el resto de países. Aprecio mucho las cultura y formas de ser de nuestros herman@s vecin@s 🙏🙌♥️ Saludos.

The "ote" in words like papalote, coyote, sopilote, guajolote, comes from the Aztecs 🧐

In Chile, Kite is “Volantín”. A big one is called “Pavo”. A small one is called “Ñecla”.

This was really interesting.

La "pasta" es una sustancia "pastosa" que significa que es lo suficientemente blanda para moldearla y lo suficientemente dura para que no se derrame, eso es una pasta (pasta comestible, de dientes, de calzado, etc). Los lápices que usan tinta tienen que ser herméticos porque la tinta es muy fluida y se derramaría con facilidad, por eso se creó la "pasta" que es una tinta más ESPESA para evitar que se derrame. Por eso los bolígrafos comunes no son herméticos, porque usan tinta PASTOSA o PASTA, de ahí "lápiz de pasta". No es que los chilenos hablen raro, es que nuestros representantes, por su juventud, no siempre conocen las razones de nuestro preciso e ingenioso lenguaje chileno.

You should have asked them to tell you how you say straw in each country, then all hell would of broke loose. The girl from Chile is beautiful.

The Cuban girl (middle front) was kinda cute but shy. I think I liked her accent the most. I wish she laughed or spoke more.

why did the spanish girl talk so much i knew they were side eyeing her so hard😭

In Brazilian Portuguese we would say: 1 - Kite = Papagaio (is also an animal, the parrot) / Pipa 2 - Popcorn = Pipoca 3 - Crab = Caranguejo 4 - Pen = Caneta 5 - Flip-flops = Chinelo / Sandália 6 - Butt = (note: there are several words for it, the ones I will quote are less strong or offensive. 🙂) Bumbum / Bunda / Popô / Traseiro

Todas las niñas bonitas simpáticas pero La Niña chilena tiene un aire angelical

Mi amigo y yo hicimos un video preguntando a la gente acerca de Colombia en este canal. Miralo es chevere.

Here's a Venezuelan list Kite - Papagayo Popcorns - Cotufas Crab - Cangrejo Pen - Lapicero Plip-Flops - Chancletas/Chanclas/sandalias ( We only use sandalias a LITTLE bit) Butt - Here in Venezuela We say it in so much forns😅 Culo (not that much) Nalgas Trasero There are a bit more but I don't remember more😅 And That's all :D I hope you liked my list 😁

Does the cuban girl want to be there????

Pen in Argentina its lapicera o Birome ( the person who invented was Ladislao Biro thats why we call it Birome. He was born in Hungary but he adopted Argentine nationality)

Soy chilena y siempre he dicho volantín a los de papel y los plásticos. Jamás usamos "sandalias" siempre usamos la palabra chalas, incluso cuando vamos a la tienda a comprarlas y a los flip flop les decimos Hawaianas. Se nota que la niña de Chile pronuncia bien usando todas las letras, en el min 4:31 ella dice "lápiz pasta" sin embargo los chilenos nos "comemos las letras" y decimos "lapi' pa'ta" Si le entiendes a un chileno, le entiendes a cualquiera que vive en otro país de habla hispana porque hablamos rápido, con muchos slangs y nos comemos las letras como la "s" en una palabra jajaja

In Bolivia we say: 1. Pop corns: pipocas 2. Flip flops: chinelas 3. Butt: trasero, nalgas 4. Pen: lapicero, bolígrafo 5. Kite: tbh idk cause I never used that word 6. Crab: cangrejo (the neutral name I think, I'm not used to animal's names from the sea for obvious reasons) I'd like to see a person from Bolivia there, we have a lot of different words that come from quechua or guaraní and even similar words with Portuguese (depending on the zone you came from), it's a country with a lot of culture

The Cuban girl looks so unhappy

Love from Colombia 💓

Muy buen video, felicidades a las chicas que lo hicieron muy bien, me reí mucho ya que son muy simpáticas todas. Soy ecuatoriano y como en todos los países, en cada región hablamos o utilizamos palabras distintas. La chica ecuatoriana es de la Sierra y bueno, yo soy de la Costa y existen muchas cosas a las que llamamos de forma diferente. Bueno la cometa se le dice así en todo el Ecuador, igual que el canguil (lo que en otras partes le dicen palomitas de maíz o crispetas). El cangrejo le decimos así aunque la jaiba es una especie de cangrejo, de un tono verdoso y de carapacho achatado, tiene más carne y sabe distinto al cangrejo común (más rico para algunos que el mismo cangrejo) al menos acá en las costas ecuatorianas. Ahora las diferentes, aquí le decimos pluma y de forma menos común lapicero o bolígrafo. He escuchado que algunas personas le dicen Esfero pero Esferográfico jajajajaja casi nunca. Como dijo una chica allí, suena como sicodélico, a mi me suena como que vas a dar la vuelta al mundo jajajaja. Al menos acá le decimos pluma. A lo siguiente le decimos comúnmente zapatillas o sandalias, chanclas no se utiliza ese término. Después y lo último que dijeron las chicas, aquí se le dice nalga o poto (de forma graciosa). Decirle qlo es una forma grosera de decir, incluso lo escribo así (qlo) para que RU-vid no me elimine el comentario como ya me ha pasado antes. y eso, muy buen video la verdad. Felicitaciones nuevamente. Saludos desde Ecuador 👋🤙👍

I went to Chile with Spanish from Spain and I didn;t have any issues

en chile no es cometa es volatin xd

I laughed a lot. Already knew the word of the other countries due to internet, but seeing that you lack an Argentinian (it can vary from north to center or south): Me reí bastante. Conocía las palabras q usan los demás x mismo internet, pero ya q les faltaba una Argentina (puede variar mucho entre norte, centro y sur): 1:14 Barrilete / Cometa. 2:19 Pochoclos (highly discussed from one place to another haha). 3:38 Cangrejo. 4:22 Lapicera. 6:36 Chancletas / Ojotas. 7:44 Cola (but there are a lot of other "ruder" words :P)

Kite: Probably with the influx of immigrants to Chile in recent years, the word "cometa" has been incorporated into our Spanish variety, but "volantín" is definitively the typical word for kite. Popcorn: In Chile could be both "palomitas" or "cabritas". Pen: "Pasta" in "Lapis pasta" refers to the ink that is actually a paste and not ink. Also, we use "lapiscera" (female version of "lapiscero") where "cera" means wax. Fountain pen is "pluma fuente" or just "pluma". Flip-flops: In Chile "chala" is really sandal ("sanadalias"). Flip-plots are called "Condoritos" because a Cartoon character, Condorito (literally meaning little condor), uses sandals similar to flip-flops. However, there are other names for this, like "hawainas".

"Vosotros". De nada.

La energía de ellas me encantó, espero que las reúnan para más ocasiones 🤩🥰
