US_American was shocked by The Only Thing that Latin American Understand!! 

“America” for Latin Americans is the whole continent. United States is the country. It’s quite confusing when Americans or other nationals refer to it as America.

As a south american is so weird for us that usa citizens called themselves as "americans", its true that the country is called united states of america. But if the country was called "the united stated of europe" would they think the country encompassed the entire european continent? Probably 🤦‍♀️😂

The thing about leaving the parent's home, in Brazil at least, is that the majority of young adults would love to get out of their parent's house, but it is EXPENSIVE, for the majority of brazilians it is not a choice, and if you really want to get out you will have a really hard life, will pay a lot to live in really cheap house located at not that safe and cool neighbourhoods.

"You can just see it in your face so happy and bright" Lalita: 🙁

In *_Mexico,_* arriving late is not a _"norm"_ as some foreigners asume it is. _E.g.,_ in military, academic or work environments arriving late is not normal or expected. Such expectations are more relaxed only in *SOME* informal instances.

As a Chilean, I agree with most of what the Chilean girl said. This happens too with countries like Argentina and Uruguay due to larger European migration to these countries; nothing wrong with it, and it doesn't have to be something "good", it's just natural due to historical factors. I will say that the "being late" part does happen a lot in Chile, and not only from my experience.

A study was done by a Vermont university on languages on the internet. They found that the Spanish language followed in second place by Brazilian portuguese are the happiest languages on the planet. English was third.

Interesting how people from Latin America don't live in the best place to live in the world , these are the Nordics , and yet they always seems like way happier , friendly and enjoy life more than the Nordics

I think people make huge generalizations in these videos. I'm Colombian and I can't necessarily relate to some of the things said in this video. Colombia alone has many different regions with different customs, demographics, etc., and if you add socioeconomic differences then you definitely get more variety.

Lo que no me gusta de estos videos es que es imposible resumir las experiencias de todo un país en una sola persona. Y claramente se ve las diferencias de lo hablado en el video con los comentarios. Ojalá para el siguiente tal vez puedan traer más personas de un mismo país y no dejar que sola una persona represente con SOLO sus perpectivas y experiencias, ya que hay muchas y muy diferentes.

She says "The U.S." that is right, not "America".

Another thing they don’t mention is we are more religious in some generations, for example in my family when we said goodbye to the matriarch, la abuelita, we ask her to give us a blessing, o la bendición, all the kids and adults ask this before leaving so as to be protected.

most of these are no in Chile

Once again, I find it puzzling how some titles can perpetuate misconceptions. World Friends, Have you ever considered the possibility that Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Brazil and so many other countries are also part of America? Therefore, labeling people from these countries as "Latin girls" is somewhat wrong they should be recognize as AMERICANS. Referring to the region as "Latin America" makes no sense at all. Firstly, "Latin" refers to a language, not a race. By this logic, inhabitants of the United States and parts of Canada would be labeled as "Anglo-Americans," while Quebec would fall under "Latin-America" category due to its French-speaking population. Moreover, countries in America where Dutch or other languages are spoken also challenge this simplistic classification. Why do people assume that everything "under" USA is just "Latins"? Even within Spanish-speaking countries like Uruguay and Argentina, there are significant cultural, musical, behaviour, etc. differences. It's unfair to lump them all together simply because they share a common language. It's important for people, especially those from the United States, to improve their geography skills and recognize the diversity within the America. Confusing race with language and continent with only 1 country leads to prejudice and oversimplification. I believe this oversight may also affect people from India. When people refer to "Asian countries," they often overlook India, which is also part of Asia. The feeling of not being recognized as part of one's own continent can be frustrating. Imagine if only Italy were considered Europeans, while the rest of the continent were labeled "euro-something" - it just doesn't make any sense at all! AMERICA IS A CONTINENT, and everyone born in ANY COUNTRY IN AMERICA ARE AMERICANS.

Everyone being happy and loud talking abt how everyone is loud in latin america, while the chilean girl stayed quiet xdddd Feeling absolutely represented by the chilean girl, and i feel unconfortable when there are louder people near me, and that happens a lot with foreigners that we meet here sjshjsj

Girl in Chile we are late too 🧍🏻‍♀️ what are you talking about jdjjskd

Im Brazilian, I'll say I agree nowadays hitting your son is a very big taboo and there are currents of thought that advocate against it, but when I was little my mom would absolutely hit with a sliper, though only to stop a fight with my brother, she wouldn't do it for anything

A garota brasileira não está feliz de estar participando ou está com sono, ela não interagiu como as outras brasileiras que já participaram 😢😢😢

Me encanta el hecho que dejaran en claro, que realmente en si no besamos con los labios los cachetes al saludar, aunque supongo también depende de que tan cercano eres a la persona 😅, personalmente cuando saludo a alguien nuevo, solo saludo con la mano diciendo hola, si es mujer talvez si el beso al aire y un abrazo pero solo si ya la conozco 😅, pero esa soy yo,no sé cómo lo hacen los demas, a mis familiares o amigos cercanos definitivamente si, es también yo creo que es como una forma de respeto también, como para darle bienvenida a la gente para que te conozcan y se sientan a gusto tu y la persona creo😅

the girl in pink DO NOT want to be there hahahahahahaha

I've always wondered why people from the U.S. call themselves "Americans." I get that their country is the United States of America, but their name could relate to the whole name to avoid disrespecting the rest of the continent and be more historically accurate. America comes from the fact that a historian who was creating an atlas said that there was information about that place thanks to that merchant (Amerigo Vespucci ). He decided to use the Spanish name "Americo," which was given to him by the crown after he married a woman from Seville. Also Américo arrived in Venezuela so it would be more accurate if they were called "americans" , people from the states would make more sense if they called themselves something different. When it comes to geography, I've studied with a lot of international students, and they all refer to America as the continent. Only U.S. kids said it was their country. What I've heard so far was the thing about dividing into south and north and only the kids from the states would say north americans were just they while everyone else mean with demonym to mexicans, canadian, cubans, etc. Geography should be universal and accurate out of respect. If one group sees it differently, they should adjust because representation matters. That’s why Turkey changed its name to "Türkiye" to avoid the association with the bird. I'm Chilean, and I don't mind if people associate the name with chili peppers because it’s a historical thing with Chile and Mexico. But we should all use terms that respect everyone. People from Europe are Europeans, people from Asia are Asians, people from Africa are Africans, and people from Oceania are Oceanians. It’s the same with Antarctica; we usually refer to people there by their country's name, like argentinian, chilean, russian, french, british, australian and norwegian (hope I'm not missing any country). Since the continent is called America and we were all affected by colonization, we should all be called Americans. Even "Latin American" isn't accurate because it's usually associated with spanish speakers, band lowkey to other latin descendant such as portuguese, french a bit of italian but there's also dutch, african languages, and even native languages such as quechua, mapunzungun, etc.

La Argentina me cae bien..pero no dice nada correcto 😅 los hombres también se saludan con un beso + abrazo y palmada en la espalda..en algunas provincias tal vez solo el abrazo. Obviamente depende de la economía de cada familia, pero los padres no te echan de la casa. Y menos con lo difícil que es alquilar, si hay que viajar para estudiar siempre se puede volver. Creo que la cumbia une más que la salsa Y asi podria seguir 😅 están hablando de estereotipos, no de experiencias personales

In Brazil there is a law on child aggression, it has been a crime for a few years. I think it's sad that there has to be a law to show people that attacking a child is the same as attacking an adult, it's aggression, and abuse, is a human. Many people still have violent attitudes towards flip-flops, belts, etc., but it is decreasing and becoming less and less tolerable. Generally, those who still tolerate and practice it are people who were attacked in this way in childhood, are traumatized and don't know it, and think it's not a problem. Of course there is a lot of humor around this subject, but it is something very serious and needs to end.

The logic of usa citizens: United state of america>>>america. Japan of asia>>> asia Spain of europe>>>europe 😂😂they Are so funny

Most of these are true , normally they are loud , friendly , warm , especially comparated to others , i like how they don't take their work so seriously as others like be pontual , since be happy is more important than anything

1:39, really you are almost all dressed in black, where is she talking about lol

In Brazil, what I see now, is that a lot of people between 24 -30s want to leave alone, but can't. The prices of ranting and buying a resident is to much, and even though this generation is the most qualified, have degrees, master, etc, the offer of jobs or the paying is not enough to leave alone.

Hay muchas que no son en chile, pero Justo la que ella dice que no (llegar tarde) si es común jajajajja por lo menos en Santiago

Well in the case of chile, kinda? we dont really feel very represented since our ways are a bit different than the average "latino"

Love how latin is similar to India like family living with parents , grt beating 🤣

you guys have to understand that inside each of those countries there are several different realities coexisting. even though there are some similarities, i'd say they're more about social class and family income than about culture

I don't feel represented by the Chilean girl. It's definetely not the standard to be on time which is why you would say "let's hang out by X oclock" in order for people to meet at X:30 or so lmao

18:56 No, in Chile we're always late and that's standar, BUT, we do give excuses. Even if they are obviously fake, we need excuses.

I feel Lalita 🤣I'm from Panama with a very loud and big family but like two other cousins and me are the introverted ones. She's my spirit animal in a party 😅 so I can answer some questions in a general view of Panama! (I'm really introverted so somethings may not apply to everyone and I know it) 1. greetings: cheek to cheek kisses and hugs with family and friends or a simple but bright hello for someone you're just meeting for the first time in a casual setting 2. Living with parents: yes. even if you are married people still keep living with parents. Mostly for money issues, but if you can afford it then the couple can live alone 3. Talking loud: yes. Talking over each other is a competition everyone participates in haha 4. Big family: Yes. It was so common in grandparents generations to have a lot of kids but nowdays families go from 2-4 kids. But family reunions are for everyone like friends families, work friends and even the neighbors! 5. the chancla: that I know, moms don't threaten with chanclas or throw things... but when I was young my mom would say that if a ever misbehave she was gonna hit me with a bejuco (like a wood stick that's thin so kind like a wooden whip??) Here moms just hit you with their hands like a slap 6. dancing: folklore classes in elementary school for everyone, so as kids we all know our traditional dances like Tamborito, Cumbia, el Punto, Congo, la Denesa and others more regionals. We also dance salsa, bachata, urbano and many others like any other latin country 7. the futbol religion: yes, it is. In Panama you either watch soccer or baseball. that's it. Fun fact: in 2018, when Panama qualified to the FIFA WC, the government gave a national day off :D 8. Late for parties: are you even Latino if you aren't late to parties? We even say that the party will start at a time that's early to account for the lateness of people. However, if it's like a formal party like quinces, weddings ... then you come early to help the host! Long... too long this comment ... hope you learned somethinf from my country I guess

who's missing julia?? i loved her energy....Just the presence of her light up the whole video

La de rosado nunca hablo !!!!

the chilean girl is based af

Como chileno, la chica de chile dice la verdad

Italian here. But i dont identify myself with almost any of this point. I m from the norther Italy. Many of the poin said in the video is very correct for southner Italy. But this is linked to Italyan History. The south has been under the control of Spain for 2 century. North have had lot of cultural exchange with France and the german speaking population. So we are in reality a mix.

The Panamanian girl, I think she's from Panama City, Florida, because she's not very much Panamanian, I'm aorry...

Mexico is the leading leader in all Spanish speaking music. This goes way back to the Golden age and into the modern era. From genres like: Mariachi/Rancheras Corridos Banda Norteño Tropical And from the greatest composers/singers like: Pedro Infante Jorge Negrete Lola Beltrán Lucha Reyes Juan Gabriel Joan Sebastian Luis Miguel Cristian Castro Marco Antonio Solis Los Angeles Azules Modern days people like Peso Pluma. Blessings

The Mexican girl must be from the north because... living together without getting married is pretty common (even in the north, although they tend to be more conservative).

As a brazilian I have identified myself with all of those affirmations: left the house only after marriage, got hit with slippers when I was a kid, have a REALLY BIG family... and arrive late at family parties (I usualy try not too, but I am always afraid of arriving TOO early and ending up disturbing the preparations)

Are you guys in Korea? Wow !

as a brazilian and ND I'm always asking what time is the party and what time am I really supposed to arrive because it's pretty confusing, some people arrive 1 hour late and some people show up 3~4 hours late

In fact in Argentina men often greet each other with a kiss on the cheek

I mean... We are loud, but personally i would appreciate if it wanst like that, my mind most of the times will interpret it as an argument so for personal reasons i dont like it, but if it doenst involve me i wont care much

I am Dominican, and I want to know... what did you guys do to Panama? 😅 your Caribbean brothers are here!

Important detail about these people: They are clearly AT LEAST high middle class.

Men that know each another kiss in the cheek or least that cheek to cheek they told

Reggeton is a curse that should be dispelled., it is so vullgar I don't like it at all.

9:33 we in Brazil with the teachers when we are kids 😂 Ex: "Aunt Paulo" "Uncle Rose" not Ms/Mrs

Please stop saying "in America".

In Argentina men kiss each other in the cheek

About the big family thing in Chile, the girl is right, it's more of a countryside thing. I say countryside cause rural parts of the north do that too, it's not a south thing only. But most people born in big cities have a smaller family.

Me sorprende que sepan tan poco del baile tradicional de sus propios paises

In Costa Rica, the greeting with kiss is only between ***close*** friends of opposite sex and between women. If you try to do it with acquaintances is awkward. Also in work situations is awkward and frowned upon. After covid even more so. After getting married I no longer salute anyone or allow anyone to salute me with a kiss. I make sure to keep a good distance to prevent anyone from even trying. I hug close friends, male and female, though. But that's me most Costa Ricans are definitively NOT huggers.

oh I didnt know the ppl in the show live in korea.

Ahi falto un Caribeño para que sea más representative

Che todos los que están ahí no parecen haber nacido en los países que dicen ser, parecen más que nacieron allá y son esos que dicen "mirenme soy latina"

🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤ from KATHMANDU

I'll be so forever shocked when you can find a Costa Rican hahahah

A resenha nao ta legal...infelizmente 😇

Natives of America, like the Bolivian and Peru have more indigenous roots/culture, and not Latin. Blessings

The Panamanian was lying 😂😂😂 Panamanians are always late!! I hate it because I'm a Panamanian that is on time and a few minutes early.

About the football part in Brazil it's a bit controversial, for example, most of it doesn't have football as their favorite sport, we often don't see much about the games, and a part that I know He just doesn't care (me for example), but even so we all have a team, we all had some experience playing or we've already had a little chat about the game that happened, so yes, it's important for us.

Regueton?? Everybody loves it?? That's really a bold statement. I would go to salsa. Everybody have a favorite salsa song and if you say AZUUUUUUUUUUCAAAAAAR you WILL know for who I'm talking about. Edited: OK, I kept watching, they choose salsa.

A lot of mexican women live alone withou be married! Common! Where live that girl???

"Latin America is very bright and Colofoul" -7 of 0 in black 🤣

It's a pretty dissapointed they didn't say that in Argentina and Uruguay, the men kiss each other on their cheeks and not just hug them

Lalita doesn't have Latin vibes at all. But I still like her in every video she appeared

where is ECAUDOR😭

No, no, no, no, noooo, what Daniela said about Living with Parent Before Marry is not completely accurate. Yes, there are some cities and small towns where society thinks that you should get married to be able to move out of the home (I have lived in a lot of deferents cities, from north to south so I know that is not as common as she is depicting it to be, maybe is half and half) and that's quickly changing. Especially when we go to college there's a lot of people that move to another town for that. And to be honest we live with our parents until we get married because most of the time we can't afford to move out. After getting married, in most couples, both persons work, so there's two incomes that can make affordable to move out. And yes, some of us, we try to live with our partner before marriage.

They talk about dressing with many colors, but everyone is dress in black lol

aunque son todos estereotipos muy generales, estuvo divertido. lo que más destaco del vídeo es q tiren abajo el feo estereotipo de "la chancla", no es gracioso y es bastante violento :/

No, yo soy altai-quechua. Ni indio, ni América ni lacio. Todas palabras de origen y significado equivoco.

la chilena me da mucha risa

this isn't really representative of latinoamerica. this is very modern and only for the youngest generation.

🌎frieends 😃

Panama on time for a house party? That's not really true tbh. When we do like house parties or "parkin" like we use to name it, if owner of the house says "come at 9" we would say something like "9 o'clock or Panamanian hour" Panamanian hour means 2-3 hours later

I love how the USA girl also show her serious side at 20:26 instead of playing the dumb funny girl all the time. She explained it right ❤

We are diverse. Don't put us all in the same basket For example, here in Chile the suicide rate is quite high, with 9.3 per 100.000 persona. (Spain is 7.7) *Data taken from WHO 2024

terrible harem se mando el boliviano jasjasjas

I think Mexico is the most similar country to the States

The Chilean girl seems so sad 🙁🙁

Great content

_\\\¡¡¡"Interesante Video sobre las costumbres comunes de Nuestros Países Latinoamericanos como el Abrazar y dar un beso que es más una Costumbre, lo de Vivir con los Papás depende más de la Familia y el estado económico, lo del Ruido es por la persona y el Lugar donde uno habita, Las Familias Suelen ser bastante Grandes lo que influiría en las relaciones es en lo cercanos que son como Familia, las Mamás suelen ser así más no todas, Los Géneros Musicales que se Menciona son los más conocidos por nuestros países Mas dentro de cada País Tienen sus propios géneros musicales dependiendo de la región por ejemplo en México se escuchan todos esos géneros pero también los propios de su región como en el norte se escucha las Norteñas, el fútbol es más un juego popular por la gente y el Tema del Llegar Tarde ocurre más en Reuniones, Fiestas o Convivios más en el Trabajo no es común ya que suelen ser más Estrictos. Gran Video 😘 Saludos y Abrazos desde México 🌸 (⁠づ⁠｡⁠◕⁠‿⁠‿⁠◕⁠｡⁠)⁠づ🇲🇽🌷🏵️🌺🌹"!!!///_

Funk and Samba are huge in Brazil, pretty much nationalwise - but there's many more popular dances in massive regions up to the size and population of most other latin american countries... forró, for instance (which is nowadays near to mostly known abroad sertanejo). Also there's pleny music styles which doesn't requires dancing for chill or enjoy it.

Carolbalds is show!

If you thought Sophia was stoned, meet Maria. 😂

WTF is this over reductive TOKENISM galore? This is the cringest thing on RU-vid. Latin America has diversity of THOUGHT we are not monolithical as in films. If LATAM is colorful, then here are the 7 colors of the Latin American rainbow: 1 - Not every country's population speaks loudly. 2 - Not every country's population dresses in bright colors. 3 - Not all countries in Latin America has the massive extended families issue. 4 - Soccer is not N°1 in all LATAM countries as some were occupied by the US so baseball is more popular/important. 5 - The US also had a dancing culture in the 50s that reached LATAM and became part of the culture of many countries. 6 - The ''money issue'' is because of the EU embargo during the Cold War that bled LATAM's economy for 50 years straight. 7 - There is no culture of being late, this is a direct consequence of the previous fact, we don't strive to be productive because our income is garbage and our income is garbage because our exports were banned from Yurop for half a century.

The guy is cute lol

War

the panama girl lalita seems to be in depression lmao

8:40 one dinner in my grandmother's house, she changes her opinion about that

Not everry latin person likes regeaton

she looks like a long haired snow white. she could totally pull of disney-bounding looks.

Chile no se parece mucho al resto de latinoamérica.

14:36 For Brazil, for sure 1000 times FORRÓ dance... But we also have Lambada, Samba, Samba de Gafieira, Axé, Sertanejo, Frevo, Gaucho dance styles ... and so on

ameri ca ameria americca america kkkkkkkkkkkkkk
