Cool. while in Italian, "reverenza" refers to the set of actions that show reverence towards someone or something (inchino is just the bow-down action).

@hernan_guitar 6 месяцев назад

@DBGabriele Yes, also in Spanish, “reverencia” refers to an act of respect or veneration towards something or someone (it translates to “reverence”). The word “inclinarse” usually refers to the act of physically bowing down or “to lean towards something” when referring to ideas (“The party ideas lean towards liberalism”), among other acceptations.

@licanueto 6 месяцев назад

Yep, we definitely have the word "polilla" for moths, and it's indeed very much used beyond the city of BA. I've personally never heard them being called "mariposas nocturnas" though. Also hair dye is not usually called "tinta" but "tintura" instead, which I'm just realising is sort of a the step between "tinta" and "pintura" lol

I have never heard of polilla and never seen one flying at night, it’s been years since I’ve seen one inside my house and I’m from Argentina! polillas are not common in Patagonia and Buenos Aires province nowadays, due to our weather, but I heard my family and my grandma say they ate clothes only. It’s like a grandma bug, very old and most kids don’t even know that word today! I think they’re pretty odd and strange to see nowadays. It’s more common to see mosquitoes, flies or other insects, so it’s not rare to not know the name.. I couldn’t tell, because she said they are common outside at night, have antennae, do mix with the background and you can’t see them. I was thinking of grasshoppers, flies or ladybugs lol. I’ve found that actually, our country has almost no mots due to our type of weather and climate! Probably the north still has some..

@agustinmedina1910 6 месяцев назад

I'm from Argentina and watching this video I found something really cool (at least to me). In Argentina, we say that something is an "enchastre" when that situation is a mess, but not any kind of mess, we use it only when the mess is made by some liquid. For example, the coffee spills over some books or over the laptop and we say "Es un enchastre!". Watching this video I just realized that "enchastre" comes from the italian "inchiostro", because when ink spills over it makes an ENCHASTRE. And well, maybe in english is not clear enough, but in spanish "enchastre" sounds a lot like how we would pronounce "inchiostro" because to us the "ch" in it would sound like the "ch" in the word "check" and not like a "k" as italians do.

The funny thing is that the more formal forms of the two languages are mutually more intelligible than the daily conversational styles. For example, it’s much easier for an Italian to read and understand a formal document or a philosophy book in Spanish than to have a friendly chat about one’s daily adventures. Before I ever studied Spanish, I was quite fluent in Italian, having done two years of university studies in Italy. My first exposure to Spanish was the Spanish language TV in the United States. I was quite surprised at how easily and thoroughly I understood the news programs. But all the other shows and the informal language took a little longer. Although, even that was already more than 60-70% intelligible.

@victoriagina9537 6 месяцев назад

@claudiopetrangeli4836 6 месяцев назад

As Victoriagina already wrote, there are two Levels in every european language: formal, or academic, and colloquial, or basic language. Chances that an academic word is derived directly from Latin are very high, because Latin has been the language used by scientists (even Newton wrote his essays in Latin) and academics basically until the eighteenth century.

Another false friend is when Federico says that bowing requires the bending of the back, which is 'espalda' in spanish, Giulia understood it to mean 'spalla' at 10:22 which is shoulders (hombro in spanish). In italian 'espalda' is 'schiena'. But I guess it worked ok because when you bow you move all your upper body relative to the lower so it was not a barrier to understanding.

@AdamSlatopolsky 6 месяцев назад

In Spain we say "tinta" for writing and "tinte" for dying your hair and "pintura" for walls Inchino in Italian has the same root as Inclinarse (Me inclino ante ti = I bow to you, so as a Spanish speaker, "inchino" is completly understandable).

In Italy there is a nursery rhyme: "fai la riverenza, fai la penitenza" (do the curtsy, do the penitence). "Riverenza" is the correct word for "curtsy". Using "Inchino" (bow) for "curtsy" in non exactly correct, but in informal language is very common and acceptable.

@nicoladc89 6 месяцев назад

"Riverenza" is a type of "Inchino" so it's correct translate "curtsy" into "inchino", but kneeling down in a church is not an "inchino", that's "genuflessione" or vulgarly "inginocchiarsi". Maybe in some regional languages could be inchino, but not in Italian. There are "inchini" in the liturgy, but without keenling.

The alternative bow Giulia was talking about can be called "riverenza" in Italian and it is (it was) usually a female gesture. "Tinta" in Italian can be a a synonym for "colour" so you should choose a "tinta" for painting your wall, to use in your printed project, for your hair, for the photography, and so on. Actually "tinteggiare" means "painting walls" and the painter can be called "tinteggiatore" or "decoratore". More popular is "imbianchino" but it is considered derogatory by them, just like "dauber" I just found on Wordreference.

Here are the words from this challenge in Esperanto: 1. *zono* (yes, this word can mean either "zone" or "belt" just like in Latin) 2. *inko* - our word for "dye" is *tinkturo* similar to Italian _tinta_ 3. *kliniĝo* or *inklinacio* - the word for "curtsy" is *riverenco* 4. *tineo* or, more expressively, *noktopapilio* (literally "night butterfly")

In Argentina at least, tinta is ink for writing, dye is tintura (for hairs or cloth) where the verb for both is "teñir", and pintura (for wall painting and pictures) and the verb pintar. There is a common joke that pintor is painter, and as in English can be the artist, or the worker. To evade the problem we say "pintor de brocha gorda" "painter of big square brush". Pincel is brush but usually is is used for the pointy brushes used by artists, while brocha is a more thick and rome brush. When shaving a man uses a "brocha" to put the soap on his face, while a woman uses a brush to put on her make-up. Inclinación (verb inclinar) is the act of moving the upper part of something from the vertical position and it's to general. May be a phrase "Saludó con una inclinación (de la cabeza/del cuerpo)". The exact word is "reverencia" which has to forms. One is only done with the head while the rest of the body stays upright, and the oriental one/martial arts, that is done with the torso. Reverenciar is not to do a "reverencia" because it means "to revere" or "to honor someone".

Note: also Moldova🇲🇩 uses Romanian as official language but it’s used mainly by young people + people from big cities. Unfortunately the other part is speaking Russian because between WW2 and 1991 Russia took Moldova out of Romania and during those 40+ years they brainwashed their mind and inoculated them the idea they naturally belong to Russia/USRR. On top of that they moved a lot of people from Russia to Republica Moldova to facilitate the language change. This is a pretext for a next invasion of that country. Ukraine invasion was built onthe same scenario. I bet this modus operandi of Russia/USRR is sounds so familiar to you) Therefore, România is proud to be the latinity bastion in the Central-EastEurope❤️ If you have the chance, visit Romania for at least 5 major reasons: people are very hospitable, the prices are way cheaper respect to W Europe, food is great , Bucharest is called the “Little Paris”, castles (like Dracula Castle) situated very close to Bucharest.

Rioplatense Spanish is a variety of Spanish spoken mainly in the surroundings of the Río de la Plata, particularly in the region of the province of Buenos Aires, in the province of Santa Fé, in the province of Entre Ríos and in Uruguay. The influence of lunfardo on the composition of the lexicon and especially on the slang used by speakers of this variety is great. With localisms, it is also the Spanish spoken in the rest of Argentina and Paraguay. It differs from Castilian from the rest of Latin America mainly because in place of "tú" ("tuteo"), "vos" ("voseo") is used. The letters "ll" and "y" are characterized by being pronounced like the "ch" or "j" sound in the Portuguese language. Examples: Tuteo → "If you want, you can do it" Voseo → "If you want it, you can do it" Tuteo → "Haz what I sent you" Voseo → "Hacé what sent you" Rioplatense Spanish is also characterized by the influence of Italian immigrants who settled in the region. Many Italian words (or Italian-derived words) are used, in addition to the speech having a marked Italian cadence. The use of the interjection "che" is also characteristic of the region. Basis: Dictionary of Spanish variants.
