I love these nuances. A non-native English speaker called me “boss” at a gas station and it was an endearing blunder in that he tried to use a colloquialism to be more friendly but it’s not the right word for a woman and made me chuckle to myself. Generally, it’s something that older, working class men say to each other. English speakers are always astonished to learn about Colombians calling strangers “flaco,” for example, but they probably don’t realize how many goofy words we have for addressing strangers that are just as nuanced.
I think it’s ok to have a comfort level with certain vocabulary between men or between women. I wonder this sometimes since I started watching these if the mostly female instructors influenced vocabulary.
Lol. I'm trying to imagine people addressing each other as fatty/skinny/black(y?) in the States, in English -- with or without regard for how descriptive those terms would be of the people being addressed.
¡Me encanta este video! Su información, su forma, y la manera divertida como lo hiciste me hacen desear que pudiera darte más que un "like". ¡Fantastico!👍
@@MauraSpringSpanish La mayoría de los hispanohablantes en Nueva Zelanda tienden a ser de Colombia, Chile o Argentina. Cuando hablo con los colombianos que conozco y uso "chévere", piensan que es, bueno, muy chévere 😂. Pero cuando hablo con los chilenos y argentinos, parecen pensar que es raro que un chico kiwi use ese regionalismo y que yo suene demasiado colombiano (tal vez porque la mayoría de las personas en Nueva Zelanda que usan la palabra son colombianos). Sé que uso muchas palabras y expresiones colombianas, principalmente por los podcasts, la televisión y la música que consumo en español. Recientemente, estaba hablando con un chileno y me dijo: "Hombre, suenas como Maluma". 🤣🤣
I bought the spring language course challenge but never got confirmation of my purchase via email nor a log in. But it shows on my bank account that I was charged for the course. I contacted support but no response
@@jamestateIIIhoww? i mean she's pretty af both ways I just thought the tom boy made her even more attractive, but maybe it's just cus i like women 🤷🏽♀
@@kimaya.3563 in my opinion, i heard; you look like a man or look good as a man. If a person says that about a man "hey ever try putting on a wig you probably good as a girl". Granted Some folk do look good both ways, (drag queens) however just seems degrading in my opinion to say "you look good MORE attractive as the opposite born." Something to consider before actually saying it these days, that could be offensive to some. Personally i like women dont want hear hey you look better as a woman, it would make me feel bad because i would feel ugly as a male. Oh by the way "tom boy" is a female who has tendancies to act male not necesarily put on a male persona. (Also this is discusion not me trying to stomp on you)

These tips are really useful!
"Chévere" is my new favorite word.
You and your brother look very similar 😉
This makes me very happy, thank you! "Chévere" can take you very far, haha. He's very annoying, but he's a good brother nonetheless,, hahaha 😂

I get it. The swapping really helped.
Hola, como estás? Aqui desde Chicago, Illinois muchos saludos de mi parte y hablo bien Inglés y Español. Tengas un feliz y excelente dia.
me encanta decir "ay". podría ser más femenino, pero es muy estereotípicamente mexicano en una situación intensa especialmente.
este video perfecto perfecto 😂❤
Jajaja, ¡gracias, gracias! 💛
This was great. Thank you!

Hey! So sorry about the delay - we've just replied (and added something extra to your account) :)
Thanks for your help!
Que chevere escuchar a Maura con su voz de macho.
Jajajajaja. Hay algo de edición, pero sí intenté muchísimo poner la voz más grave 🤭
Does this sentence sounds masculine: me queda hasta las 5 de la mañana trabajando. chamo estoy requete cansado
Confession! I prefer Maurito more than Maurita.... 😍😇
Hahahaha, as it's your right to do so. 😅🤗
Creo que Maurito tendria ojo para las damas, si sabes a lo que me refiero!
😂😂😂😂

In Peru your flaca is your girlfriend
9:55 Ojalá algún día sepa suficientes palabras para poder elegir... Ahora, por lo menos lo se mierda en lugar de caca :)
