The word ¨Capo¨ is used as a compliment in argentinian slang ( or Lunfardo). If you say: ¨Sos un Capo¨, it means you´re the boss or you´re the man. Most inmigrants came from Napoli, Genoa and Calabria, and some words came from their dialects.

I would like to add something to this similarity between the Río de la Plata accent and Italian. A personal experience: I am Argentinian and I went to London to study English a few years ago. The school brought together foreign students from all over the world. We all spoke English to each other so I didn't know what country the people talking to were from, unless I asked. So, I would play around trying to figure out the nationality of the students I saw at school by their body language. Guess what... Those who I thought might be rioplatenses were, of course, Argentinians, Uruguayans, and... Italians.

Hey Metatron! As a native Argentinean I can see that the Italian tone in our dialect is not as obvious as some decades ago. Maybe if you watch clips from old Argentine movies, especially from Carlos Gardel or others from his time, you'll definitely feel they're "Italians speaking Spanish"

My opinion as a Spanish speaker from Colombia, I agree, the Argentinian people from Buenos Aires do sound like Italians speaking Spanish, although they use certain terminology apparently derived from Italian ( that terminology is not Italian nor Spanish either).

Spanish from Argentina is strictly a Argentinian phenomenon. There are some words (slang or not) that is related to Italian but it's strictly an Argentinian thing that many confuse. Also when many Italians migrated to Argentina, Italy still had many dialects spoken so many Italian immigrants used Spanish to also communicate with eachother.

Como Uruguayo cuando estuve en Italia, en distintas regiones y entendimos todo en italiano y nos entendieron todo en español, nos sorprendió realmente

While in Italy I spoke Spanish and we got all got along just well! People was surprised that I spoke a Spanish that sounded to them as if I was mimicking Italian! I do use lots of Italian words that I inherited from my grandad, though.

Most probably, "pibe" comes from the word "pivello", which back in the days meant "apprentice". That is a word very common in the northern Italian dialects. As for "mina", if I had to guess, it could be related to southern Italian dialects: I'm thinking about "femmena" or "fimmina". If that's so, it is a fascinating insight into '800 and '900 immigration phenomena from all over Italy. And I'm sure there are even more evident examples of that. What do you think? Thanks for your work anyway! Both this and the other channel, amazing.

Metatron, the reason she said "egg" is because that's a way to say "nothing at all". For example, she said something like "no disfrutás un huevo" as to say "no disfrutás nada en lo absoluto" ("you don't enjoy anything at all"). It's a common expression for people in Argentina and Uruguay which somehow evolved from "me chupa un huevo" (which literally means "it sucks me an egg") that means "I don't care at all".

I'm Argentinian. I had been talking English for the last few years. I have start learning Italian in the last year and it's true that Spanish in my country really share a lot of expressions with Italians. Not many words but more than enough to see the impact of Italian culture in Argentina.

As an argentine I can confirm that your translations were completely on point. The last girl was a bit difficult to understand even for me. She doesn't have a standard accent and has a bit of a strange way of speaking. Or maybe I don't hear young people too often, luckily haha. When she said "you don't enjoy an egg", it is a way of course of saying that you didn't enjoy at all/anything. But here "egg" is used as a way of calling the testicles. More common words to use in this construction are "una mierda" (a sh*t) or "una chota" (a p*nis). So it is, as many argentine expressions, quite crass but used everywhere

As an Argentinian, I can testify that the opposite case also applies. An argentinian person without italian language training can understand italian to some degree. Like you said, the context of the speaker, speed of speach and the ear education of the reciever are the key factors. In my case surely it helped my a lot to being also trained in both variants of Portuguese to better understand Italian, if not because of vocabulary, at least for the listening exercise

Capo or Kpo means boss. We use it to refer to people who is very good at something or just in the way of "dude" or "friend" too (even to people u don't know): "Disculpá, capo, ¿me decís la hora?".

I am an Argie of no italian descent (Russian&Austro-Hungarian) and when I travel to Veneto, Lombardy or Piedmont I understand every bit of the local dialects

So interesting, I always thought Argentinian accent and gestures are very similar to Italian’s and always wondered if they could understand Italian or if Italians could understand them so thanks for this video❤

Excellent video!

😂I can totally relate! I'm often impressed that as an Argentinian I can understand Italian! And the sounds and mannerisms of Italians are so familiar! I love the Italian language, food and people and I wish I was fluent in Italian.❤

As an argie, I'm glad we're pasta-approved 👌 Lots of things here are named after italian places or idioms. For example, there's a big locale called Palermo in the capital.

I went to Italy this summer, and as someone of Argentine descent you could pick up on key words and navigate with no issue. The interesting thing was that after my trip, I went to Spain to visit some family and they said I was speaking Spanish more like an Italian than an Argentine, as I apparently was stressing more on the words than usual. Fascinating experiencing the similarities in person, and also seeing a clear example on how these accents and dialects form in the first place, through the clashing of two languages.

My grandfather came directly from Italy to Argentina, and a huge percent of the population has Italian relatives, going 3 or 4 generations back, Italian culture permeated Argentina's a lot. From the food, to the accent and especially the hand gestures ^_^

In general Latin American variaties of spanish are actually easier to learn because they tend to be more international in the same way American English is more international. In many latin American countries we have colloquialisms but we often try to speak in more neutral ways around foreigners so that people can understand us. In Spain people do not try to make their dialects more understandable to foreigners and don't try to code switch.

Spanish people, being in Europe, and also on average having higher incomes and more possibility to travel internationally, almost certainly have more exposure to non-Spanish speakers over their lives and are more conscious of language barriers. I guess in Latin America there are indigenous languages spoken widely that could be used to contradict my argument, but in general I just don't buy what you're saying here at all.

I knew you'd find a lot of similarities, especially the first video! Argentina is a curious place as the most common, non-native ancestry, for their inhabitants is Italian despite never being related to the country until a strong immigration policy was imposed on their territory. There's a series of offical videos about their census that, despite being official, illustrates quite well this phenomenon as Argentina registered 30% of foreign inhabitants and more foreign males than native ones circa 1914. Anyways, glad you picked this one up!

@Argentvs

9 ай бұрын

More than that, in the census in 1910 the 70% of the population was born in Europe or were first generation sons of European immigrants. Local population was 1.89 million at the start of the great immigration, in 20 years population was 8.9. Most of the pre immigration population was in the north, 80% of it 30 years later was in the pampean plain. The immigration to Argentina is historically the major immigration process in the world. While Brazil and the US received more millions, those countries already had sizable populations, so immigrants never overrun locals. In Argentina immigration made locals a minority.

B and V are both pronounced B in Spanish. A quote attributed to Julius Caesar says "Beati Hispani quibus ViVere BiBere est."

I'm very curious about this. As an argentinian who works with other Spanish speaking people from different countries, I find our dialect is extremely unique. Also, que "porteño" or Argentinian from the capital, tends to speak really fast and using a ton of slang. I don't envy someone who has to come into Buenos Aires with basic spanish and has to get around 😂

This is so cool! i'm Argentinian and i always had an easy time understanding Italian! glad to see it goes both ways, doesn't surprise me tho, a lot of people here in Argentina have italian ancestry, you would be surprised of how many people have italian grandparents or greatgrandparents, i found out my greatgrandparents from my mothers side were italian last year, so it makes sense that we have similar pronunciation, also there are many expressions in argentina that leave other spanish speakers wondering what did we just said, but i'm sure an italian would understand instantly, of course it goes both ways. there are many words that have the same meaning but changes depending on where on south america you are. Curiously enough i think spanish speakers (at least here in argentina) have an easy time understanding Portuguese too (BTW, you did a good job understanding that Vlogger, she doesn't have good pronunciation (in fact it was making my ears bleed) i had a hard time understanding her too lol

Argentinian Spanish is a mixture of old Castilian Spanish (which is why we use Vos instead of Tú as the 2nd person noun), Genovese Italian (which as the mfdk president said came from the boats) and all that sprinkled with native local languages. Like Quechua or Mapudungun.

In Spain we also say birra. Cerveza is the Celt word. But we use both. In Catalan we have the word cap (means head and chief) we don’t use to express how cool a person is. Cap is a very plane word lol.

Tus traducciiones son muy buenas. Decir 'un 'huevo', es una expresión muy informal para decir 'mucho'. Ejemplo: 'me gusta un huevo' quiere decir 'me gusta mucho'. Pero es muy informal y a veces (según el contexto), puede ser mal sonante. Y mis disculpas por mi inglés. Muy buenos vídeos llenos de inteligencia y encanto. Saludos! Another wonderful video. My congratulations for your channel. I think that for us Spaniards we see Argentines as quite Italian in their way of expressing themselves (they are very expressive, it's a bit of a stereotype for us ) and in their accent, or intonation and in some words. Your translations are very good. Saying 'un huevo' (an egg) is a very informal expression to say 'a lot'. Example: 'me gusta un huevo' means 'I like it a lot'. But it is very informal and sometimes (depending on the context), it can be bad sounding. Very good videos full of intelligence and charm. And my apologies for my bad English language Greetings!
