I think that most languages have many versions of saying this

@ronaldbassett5142 2 года назад

In northern Mexico it is common to reply when asked "Como estas" with "Muy bien, gracias a Dios." Took me a while to figure out the speaker was NOT saying "Very well, goodbye," but rather "Very well, thanks to God." Another video with so many wonderful insights I can use at once. I am subscribed and please keep making new episodes.

We also reply very often: "Bien, ¿y tú? = "I'm good, how about you?".

This is a common reply in most religious cultures. For example, in Hebrew people say "Baruch HaShem" or in Arabic "Alhamdulillah" after thanking someone.

@guadalupeguerrero1185 2 года назад

"Adiós" is the same as "bye bye". Adiós is said when somebody was visiting other people and he is leaving and maybe he/she won't come back or doesn't know if some time he/she will. But it also is used for some people as a greeting, understanding that I see you when you pass near to you and you also saw me, since for us Mexicans is disrespectful just pass without greeting or saying something. (You always should say hola or buenos buenos días or another greeting just to indicate that I saw you are there and I'm just passing by). Note: when you are passing many times the same day or the same moment you don't need to say adios every time :), just the first time. If you don't greet people might gossip "paso como burro = he/she passed like he/she was a donkey".

When living in South America I always found it interesting how people asked multiple times “how are you” using several of your examples. I found people to be very curious about how their friends were doing. I’m North America by contrast we tend to as only once as a formality before moving on in the conversation. I found the multiple questions odd at first but then got to really like it because I knew that they really wanted to know because the truly cared. It’s something we could do more of in Canada and the USA. Thanks for the reminder.

Muchas gracias por la leccion, muy interesante. In UK English it is common to say "how's it goin" (excuse the slang!) and I thought when you were considering meanings for "Como andas" that this is a close (contraction) translation of "how's it goin". I have used the verb Andar in Spain, usually to talk about going for a walk and thanks to you I now have another term I'm not likely to forget so gracias, Steve

Muchas gracias. I live in southern New Mexico transplanted from Michigan in 2008 and still learning Spanish. My neighbor is trying to teach me Spanish slang and phrases, which I think is very important. In English we say "if you snooze you lose". Ayer, Juan me dijo , "Sales a bailar, pierdes tu lugar." Hace sentido.?

@carloscardo2805 2 года назад

That sounds more like "Move your feet, lose your seat!"; "you snooze you lose" can be more accurately translated to "camaron que se duerme se lo lleva la corriente".

@dahur 2 года назад

@@carloscardo2805 I thought it meant if "you leave to dance, you lose your place." We went bowling and he missed a shot, I said "Juan Que paso.?" He said "El tren, no pito" I guess when you screw up, the train doesn't whistle. If we make a lucky shot he says , "Nice sapo!" Yeah I think sapo is frog, but he uses it for a slop/lucky shot. This slang stuff is important, but I think it's regional isn't it.? Juan says the slang here is different in other places. I've almost given up trying to figure out why things are said like that, just trying to remember and use it.

According to my dictionary "cuenta" is bill or check "cuento" is story

@gregorio8666 Год назад

The verb contar is where it comes from. If I’m going to tell you a story, or “give you an account”, say “te voy a contar algo”, or you can say “cuénteme los chismes”(tell me the gossip story). Que cuentas is a second person of that verb contar. It is similar to a bill at a restaurant because the bill is giving an account of your items you ordered.

@aaronbennack714 2 года назад

Only Mexicans say Wey. I was practicing Spanish w my cousin from Bolivia and said it, and she laughed and told me I sound like a Mexican (who are some of my favorite people btw). Apparently some think this is derived from "buey," which is like an ox I think? But I actually wonder if it comes from the Nahuatl word "Huey/Hueyi," which is a kind of honorific, for example "Huey Tlatoani" (Great speaker). It's just a theory, but if true, totally changes the context while also explaining why only Mexicans use it.

@margaritakleinman5701 2 года назад

That's a very interesting theory.

@guadalupeguerrero1185 2 года назад

Actually it doesn't have anything to do with ant Tlatoani, it is more like an ox, a buey. This is actually a bad word, it's rude, offensive to say this word to a person who is not actually a very good friends. It's like saying "hey you dumb, hey you fool". Some parents don't allow their sons to use that word, it's disrespectful. You needed to be very good friends to use the word and not to offend each other.

@margaritakleinman5701 2 года назад

@@guadalupeguerrero1185 You are right, it comes from "buey", which original meaning is "ox", and it's offensive. Also there's this other slang meaning of "guey", which is a man whose wife/girlfriend is cheating on him. As in the phrase, "le pusieron los cuernos".
