@mikeexits 2 года назад

Language is malleable anyway. However it's pronounced is how it's heard, and how it's heard is how it's pronounced. That's how (in my opinion) bizarre slang came about (although this deals more with phrases than individual word pronunciation, but they are similar phenomena regardless) such as "what it do" or "I'mma be" or, to go back to individual word pronunciation, even speaking "water" as "wadder." It's like the language itself is alive, vicariously through those who use it. Nobody can predict what modern slang will sound like in 20 years, and some words we know will probably be said a bit differently too.

Love it. My first and only reptile expo was a great experience, years ago. My friends and I went in with nothing and left with a baby/juvenile Brazilian Rainboa. It's too bad I haven't seen her more than once in the past few years though, I really should ask if I can hold her again. They're beautiful snakes. I miss my friend's Ball Python too.

The way you pronounce it makes sense to me since it is easier to follow “Argentine” with “Tegu”. Think of saying “my son” in Spanish, almost no one says “Mi Hijo”, they say “mijo” because it’s easier. That being said, your pronunciation is completely right

@hanb2499 4 года назад

Hi! I love your videos, and you’re pronouncing Argentine correctly! As a rule of thumb, when a word is borrowed/adapted from one language to another, it adopts the rules of the receiving language. So yes, while Argentinians may pronounce it differently, it is still perfectly fine to say “-tīn” in American English 😁

@tomyfabri 2 года назад

As an Argentinian who speaks everyday with english-speaking people, I have to say I've never ever pronounced it Argent"teen", I've always believed that that people who said argenteen were pronouncing it that way because they were confusing it with french

After a quick google search, I stumbled onto this video, and was hooked immediately. You are adorable, arguing the pronunciation of whether it’s Argent-I-ne or Argent-E-ne. I love me a grammar nazi. I like creepy-crawlies, lizards, snakes, tarantulas, etc., so I really enjoyed your passion and enthusiasm as you spoke about this lizard, of which I had never heard.

A less rad fact about these tegus is that, here in Argentina, they are merely called "lagarto overo" (egg-eating lizard) because of their fondness towards chicken eggs. A university partner of mine has one of these tegus. He was on vacation with his family when they accidentally ran over one with their car. They picked the tegu and sought assistance for it... and ended up being told to keep her after being nursed.
