Fun story : I'm French and I visited Chile for a quite long time and I even worked there. I learned the language spoken there obviously. I really thought I was learning standard Spanish... One day I met a Spanish tourist and I spoke with him. He didn't understand me and I realised I've not been learning standard Spanish ^^ Que fome... Pero igual me ayudó ver series con doblaje neutral pa aprender el idioma normal. Besos a todos los chilenos.

As a spanish speaker myself, I can 100% tell you that there is no "neutral spanish". Also people can understand chilean somehow. The only problem would be if you learnt and use a lot of slang with people from other spanish speaking countries. To that you must add that the chilean variety is the most distinct of all the spanish varieties out there (sometimes as well hard caribbean spanish accents). But usually there isnt that much of a deal. We know how they speak and have heard/ learn through media that they use po, cachai etc and what it means. Just avoid using slang and prefer more standard words and you'll be fine.

As a Chilean, I deeply appreciate the effort put into this video and how accurately it represents our language. I can also confirm that most Chileans are aware of the distinctions in our Spanish dialect compared to others. When necessary, we make an effort to 'standardize' our vocabulary to ensure effective communication. However, when someone resides in Chile for work, study, or any long-term commitment, we also strive to help them become fluent in our unique dialect. We view this as a way of welcoming them into our culture.

What makes Chilean Spanish so unique is the distance between informal daily language and formal speech. In most other variants of Spanish, it is more or less the same, except for some words and slight differences in intonation. But in Chilean Spanish the difference gets enormous. They totally switch gears when talking to each other. You would barely understand anything when two good old Chilean friends talk.

As a chilean linguist and translator this video filled me with so much joy lol your examples and translations were spot on AND you didn't call it "bad spanish" (which a lot of people, chilean or not, use to describe it). Regarding your question, I lived most of my life in the "bad part" of one of the richest areas in the capital (if that makes sense). I was exposed to both "styles". I've noticed that I automatically "adjust" to how people around me speak, the same way an accent can be more or less noticeable depending on who you're talking to.

As a chilean, I am really surprised how well this video explains Chilean Spanish, I use almost all the features mentioned in the video. But this is just the tip of the iceberg, Chilean Spanish is very complex and almost always depends a lot on context. But a good thing is, we can use a neutral accent if we need to. I love Chilean Spanish, I find it very funny, especially when it comes to rudeness.

it depends of the people really, I'm chilean and I lived a couple of years in Fuengirola, people there usually asked me if I was from Sevilla or somewhere near that city, I never felt the need to change my accent cause it was quite similar to andalucian spanish, once I went to Sevilla and I was surprised the dialect there was actually quite similar to chilean spanish, with the obvious differences of course, the Z -> S thing and whatnot, some words I used people there thought sounded old, while I thought some words they used sounded like old spanish to me. Anyway, some chilean people rely heavily of slang, but not all of them, not even the majority I would say, and those that don't use too much slang sound quite similar to the dialect used in Sevilla.

As a Chilean I'm so wholeheartedly happy to have "doom scrolled" to this video. I'm amazed of how do you know and also respect the way we modified the original Spanish language to our way and you not criticized it like a lot of other videos do. The thing most people forgets is that as our country is so long and, as you pointed out, vastly influenced by European countries and (I don't know how to say "pueblos originarios") the variations of the language can range a lot from slang , informal, funny, casual or formal. And some words from the north have no meaning or something completely different in the south. A "tortilla" in the north is a piece of bread. in the center its a slice of bread you use to make a burrito, and in the south it's like a "sopaipilla" but bigger xD

I think you really managed to represent how we speak in Chile, however, i think there's 2 words that are essential to fluently speak chilean spanish, which are; "weón" and "weá", both words are so versatile and their meaning depends totally on the entonation and context of the dialogue

I like to think that the Spanish of Chile is like the English of England, if you speak it formally it sounds elegant but if you speak it colloquially things change drastically

The Chilean Spanish flavor is really cool. Listening to it and understanding it give me a feeling of how languages evolve and diverge becoming first dialects and then different languages over time. Not saying that it's gonna be a Chilean language in the future, but it definitely could be, one day in the long future. Or maybe we are so interconnected that that is not possible any more. Who knows. As a Mexican I can say that I don't always understand everything they say when I watch Chilean movies, but I'm pretty sure I'll get used to their Spanish flavor very quickly if I spend more time with Chilean people or listening to Chilean media. Much love for my Chilean brothers and sisters.

It also happens when in our own country we have to speak to a person from the upper class sector (who practically live in their own world). It's true that to other countries we speak like "singing" (cantadito)? coz for central chilean the northern chileans are the ones that speaks cantadito

Also, it's fun some people, specially from Europe, who learnt spanish and came to our country to practice, almost got demoralized and don't understand almost everything because our accent is so particular that breaks almost everying they thought have learned from Castillian spanish. At least in my case, I try to pronounce more formal with them because I know our accent is well known to pose a challenge to some spanish learners. A japanese youtuber girl, who learnt spanish, was warned by her friends about "if you can understand Chilean spanish, then you can considerate yourself as a graduate".

Hi Paul; a Chilean linguist and teacher here. Thank you for accepting the challenge I proposed in your Mexican Spanish vid. Let me go a little pedantic here: 04:40 with regard to Chilean voseo, the forms "tení", "teníai", "erí", etc. are supposed to have originally included a final -s sound, so it's more accurate to say "teníS", "teníaiS" (notice the approximation to peninsular Spanish) and "eríS", but, of course, these final -s sounds get also dropped. It shares a common origin with the rioplatense (Argentine) forms "tenés", "querés", "podés", etc. In Argentina they pronounce an "e" before the -s, and in Chile we promounce an "i". Also, the form "voh eríh" (meaning "you are") is, believe it or not, considered to be a little more "formal" or "polite" than the more everyday form "voh soi", derived directly from peninsular Spanish "vos (vosotros) sois" of old time. Since Spanish is a pro-drop language, in Chile you may hear expressions like "soi weón" (meaning "you are an idiot"), but that "soi" (originally "voh soi" = "you are"), with no subject mentioned, can be confused with "(yo) SOY" (regular Spanish for "I am"). As you can easily gather, context can help you out in that matter. While enjoying your previous videos on a multitude of other languages, I spent years waiting for you to post a video on Chilean Spanish, in order to test the accuracy of your research. Now I can assuredly say your work is absolutely accurate and comprehensive. I'm not wrong when I recommend your videos to my students!!

yes, and you also hear the -s which sounds like an -h before a consonant. so "tenís que ..." sounds like "teniHki..." instead of just "teniki...". even in the example in the video you can hear "si teniH tiempo libre.." (NOT just "si teni tiempo"). btw, Chilean voseo conjugation is also to be found in the Cuyo region in Argentina. In Cordoba for example they say ehtái, soi, sabíh, etc.

No estoy para nada de acuerdo contigo. El voseo, para empezar, está presente en toda América, y prácticamente en todos los países. De tu comentario tal vez se podría colegir cierta relación especial entre el argentino y el chileno, que no existe. El origen común, naturalmente, es la matriz cultural del continente: España. Que se suponga deba haber marcado las eses finales tampoco lo creo. En Andalucía, de donde vino, no se pronuncian y acá tampoco. Que el "vo erí" sea más formal que el "vo soi", me sorprende sobremanera. Lo único que podría relacionar, de alguna remota manera, con tan peculiar postulado es que, efectivamente, el "vos" fue, en sus orígenes, un uso de mucho respeto. De hecho, se usaba con reyes y emperadores. Sería interesante que lo explicaras mejor. Llego, viendo este video, a una conclusión exactamente opuesta a la tuya. Siempre consideré muy interesante lo que el autor decía de otros idiomas. Ahora no me fío mucho: si en el que conozco mejor descubro tantos errores y superficialidades, cómo será con los otros.

Palabras terminadas en "ada" se pronuncian como si terminaran en "á" o "aa" (se omite la 'd'): - "No tengo nada que hacer" -> "No tengo ná/naa que hacer". - "Estás pasada a ala" -> "Estay pasá/pasaa a ala". - "Estoy organizando una completada bailable" -> "Estoy organizando una completá bailable". - "Esta es la bajada a la playa" -> "Esta es la bajá a la playa". 3.

I lived in Chile for 6 weeks and I can confirm many of these colloquialisms/unique features in Chilean Spanish are used. I also learned some I didn't know. BTW, voseo (as I learned in Chile when I was there) was not used in Santiago. In fact, it was considered offensive to say "vos" and the term was explained that it was only used when you were instigating or being part of an argument or looking for a fight.

You forgot to mention the great amount of animals used in conversations, like " hacer la vaca" , "eri sapo", "se me hecho la burra/yegua", "gallo" or "galla", "pajarito nuevo", "picao´ la araña", "chicotea los caracoles", etc. As a Canadian born with Chilean parents, when i came to Chile, i found this quite amusing, po.

Great video and one that honestly made me laugh hearing our slang words and where they come from though I feel there is still a lot more that can be taught about our accent and in fact I'm sure you could even make a part 2, also the part at the end that he mentions that Chileans are aware of our accent is also accurate , Ive lived in in the US since I was 5 and thankfully never lost my accent but with that being said I realized very quickly that when I spoke to Hispanics from other countries I had to change my accent and speak more formally because if not they wouldn't understand me especially since I've heard from everyone that we speak too fast, something else that wasn't mentioned in the video but overall great video, I genuinely enjoyed it.

As a chilean, I was surprised to see this on my KZread suggestions. However, this video was very interesting, fun and accurate! And yes, we use the features on this video a lot!

One of the tragedies of the modern era is how Spanish was eradicated from the Philippines after the USA took it over. Imagine if instead of eradicating it, the USA would have introduced English but still allowed Spanish to flourish. That would have meant that a Filipino today could speak to around 2 Billion people around the world.

This video is WAY too correct. Never seen such an accurate description of the chilean spanish before. Amazing work!!!

Most accurate video about chilean spanish ever, great work coxino kl👏🏼

Well informed, excellent video

I’m Italian but I lived in Chile. I’m in love with the people and the country, and it’s like Chilean is my native accent when speaking Spanish (something I’m very proud of). Great content as usual. One of the most peculiar features of Chilean is the way the pitch gets higher towards the end of the sentence. Ah, and don’t forget to stretch your vowels! Excelente video como sieeeempre po weon ¡Viva Chile!

As a Chilean, I can say that the amount of idioms we use depends a lot on the context or type of conversation, obviously with friends and family we usually speak as the video appears and with many more slag and phrases, but for example at work, With strangers or formal situations, a more neutral Spanish that practically any Spanish-speaker can understand, in fact it is like a "barrier", when you already speak "freely" with someone it is because there is already trust.

Oh, here in Mexico we also use the expression "al tiro", specifically saying something like "estás al tiro" meaning "you are always ready" or "you are hyper-aware" or maybe "you understand very quickly". So I would say that expression carries a connotation of velocity in both Chile and Mexico, but also a connotation of vigilance, so my personal hypothesis is that the expression "al tiro" is referring to a shot sound indicating the starting of a running race. In that case if a Chilean is telling me "ven al tiro a mi casa" I figure something like "come to my house as quickly as an athlete" and if a Mexican is telling me "tienes que estar al tiro" I figure something like "you have to be as ready as a runner waiting for the shot sound".

As a chilean myself and a teacher I am impressed by the quality of the analysis, our dialects are very difficult to understand byt once u get it, you can join or society without problems, we are very pleased foreigners like our way of being and communicating, pretty particular, but some people ask what english country may have simmilar qualities to our dialect in english (isolation/speed) etc. thanks for the insight

As a foreigner living for a few years in Chile, I started using a lot of the local vocabulary and even got a bit of the accent. I should probably speak more neutraly to people from other countries, but I prefer to speak as I always do and give people a lesson of Chilean Spanish when they don't understand something, it's way more fun and I do feel proud of the way we speak here :D

Excelente trabajo!

"Al tiro" is also theorized in some families to have been born as a slang in the more rural zones of Chile. The theory is that people working on, for example, a plot harvesting vegetables and such would've been called by their patron/landlord with a gunshot, shooting up in the air so the gunshot would've been heard from kilometers away, anywhere in the plot, so "Al tiro" would be "inmediatly after the gunshot", referring to the landlord's shot being a call to the workers.

We had 6 Chileans in our class back in uni (in the Netherlands) 20 years ago, and that was when I first heard of their peculiar slang. Even our Colombian friend got confused when they started using Chilean lingo 😄

As a Mexican that lived in Chile, this was totally spot on. Only thing that I disagree with is when you said Chileans are aware of how their dialect differs. I'd say this is completely not the case, as in my experience Chileans would be surprised when I pointed out that they are the only ones that use certain words. This happens with slang (as they'll say that something is pulento, piola, cuático or brígido as if people outside of Chile actually know what that is), with their verb formation (as some of them are not inmediately recognizable, like erí) and also with brand names that are so popular that Chileans use them as the name of the product (like confort for toilet paper or la gillete or prestobarba for shaving products in general) I'll share with you one of my favorite exchanges from when I just got there: -De dónde erí? -Qué? -Que de dónde erí po? -(Thinking: erí? Yo no herí a nadie...) Perdón, no te entiendo -Ya po, que de dónde erí po wn -De verdad no te entiendo we -Que de dónde vení -Ahhhhh que de dónde vengo? Soy de México To this day it cracks me up that he really thought that by adding po at the end or ya po at the beggining would make it more understandable.
