Los españoles descubrieron que solo las mujeres guaranies se dedicaban a la agricultura, y ademas podian producir mas trabajadores, las acapararon en grandes cantidades, y los hijos que tuvieron con ellas aprendian el guaraní como primera lengua. Est sistema produjo miles de personas que ya no se consideraban indigenas pero que mantuvieron el idioma hasta la actualidad, a pesar de que fue denigrado e incluso prohibido en muchas epocas, por ejemplo prohibiendo los hermosos apellidos guaranies de las familias mestizas.

guéra from guarani and guera from Tupi are completely diferent. Anhanguera was the nickname of a bandeirante called Bartolomeu Bueno da Silva, and it litteraly meant "old devil".

An interesting fact: the Tupi language (abánhe'enga) was the lingua franca of colonial Brazil until 1758, when the Marquis of Pombal banned it due to the persecution he had against the Jesuits, being gradually replaced by Portuguese. The Língua Geral Paulista (São Paulo General Language ), descendant of ancient Tupi, was spoken until the beginning of the 20th century, with the Amazonian General Language being the only variant that has survived to this day in some parts of the Amazon.

Hi Paul. Thanks. Excellent job. I'm an English South African and have been living in Paraguay since 1986. As a language teacher I use Spanish and English more often but to get a point through I add some local Guarani Jopara and immediately the local people can grasp it better. I also live on the Brazilian border and therefore have learnt Portuguese too. I have seen locals using a tri lingual code switch. Not to mention the large Mennonite population that speak plattdütch and Guarani as too the large Japanese diaspora that also pick up Guarani quickly. You can find Tupi-Guarani words for animals and places from the northern Amazon in Brazil to the Patagonia in Argentina. Jaguar and Piranha are examples of Guarani words in English.

I'm paraguayan and jopara is extensively used in daily conversations, at least i use more spanish bc my guarani is weaker, but i'm on the way to improve it bc now i found it interesting, but usually when we encounter any foreign we tend to not use jopara in order to let them understand us. usually in the street we say "haupei" which means "and then?" as a greeting to others meaning "how r u" and we reply the same word. or we use " mba'eteko, mba'eichapa, or similar " as a greeting as well and we reply how we feel at that moment , usually "ipora aime hina" which means "i'm fine at this moment" or that is the expression i use. great video btw.

It is interesting if they want to learn Guarani they must also learn African languages ​​such as Angolan, since Guarani and Angolan are identical languages. Guarani is a very interesting dialect, it is identical to African languages, and Guarani belongs to the African language families. It also has many words borrowed from African languages, and the phonetics, the similarity of the words is impressive. The latest studies reaffirm that the Guarani share the same DNA as the Africans, because everything fits perfectly, from the features, to the accent, the customs, the gastronomy, it is the same. It is evident that the Guarani are Aboriginal, and it is that the Africans are Aboriginal, that is the reason for the similarity, and their dialect is so identical, even many Africans understand Guarani, there is also another proof.

Spanish speaker here from Argentina, Argentine father and Guarani mother. I know next to nothing about Guarani but thanks to the snippets and fun facts my mom's been telling me, I know it's a very rich language with a lot of colorful place names. My mom is aggressively native when speaking Spanish in Argentina, except when she speaks with a relative or someone that knows Guarani. When that happens, she basically transitions from Spanish, to Spanish with a thick Guarani accent, to half Spanish half Guarani, and then to full blown Guarani. She's basically native, although since she left her home town at a pretty young age she isn't that "advanced". As advanced as a 15 y/o can be in their native language xd According to my mom, there is this river in Paraguay called Tebicuary (In Guarani: tevikuary), which literally translates as "juice of the asshole" (Tevi: ass, kua: hole, ry: juice). ¡Such a lovely language! :D

To me, Guarani language sounds so beautiful and elegant! The most interesting part of the phonology is the distinction between nasalisation and denasalisation.(the nasal harmony) Taiwanese has somehow a similar phenomenon though it is not quite a grammar stuff but merely a result of phonological change. The distinction between active and stative verbs reminds me of the Japanese verb distinction of “自動詞/他動詞”.

It is interesting if they want to learn Guarani they must also learn African languages ​​such as Angolan, since Guarani and Angolan are identical languages. Guarani is a very interesting dialect, it is identical to African languages, and Guarani belongs to the African language families. It also has many words borrowed from African languages, and the phonetics, the similarity of the words is impressive. The latest studies reaffirm that the Guarani share the same DNA as the Africans, because everything fits perfectly, from the features, to the accent, the customs, the gastronomy, it is the same. It is evident that the Guarani are Aboriginal, and it is that the Africans are Aboriginal, that is the reason for the similarity, and their dialect is so identical, even many Africans understand Guarani, there is also another proof.

If you're from Metro Manila(capital and greater Manila), you will see bunch of people who speak that way, but if you go to nearby provinces, you will see people who speak Tagalog(pure one) and sometimes Tagalog speakers from Manila have hard time understanding them because people from provinces use archaic Tagalog words and expressions.

Soy de Paraguay y puedo decir que es complicado de explicar como utilizamos el Guarani en el habla cotidiana, pues existe un dualismo de ideas respecto al idioma. Algunos lo ven como un lenguaje inculto y otros de manera contraria. La mayoría usa el Jopara como forma de comunicación diaria, pues no existen términos o denominaciones para las palabras modernas como SmartPhone, Facebook, Internet, etc ; pero hay Guaraniólogos que han tratado de adaptarlos al idioma pero no se utilizan, por ejemplo Mbayruguata= auto (mbayru=caja/recipiente + guata=caminar, literalmente= caja/recipiente andante o que camina), suena hasta ridículo esa traducción pues la mayoría de las palabras en Guarani son onomatopeyas de las cosas como parara, pururu, piriri, karau, choguy, chia, etc. (Lastimosamente el teclado de la computadora no tiene letras con pronunciación nasal para escribir correctamente). Se puede hablar el Jopara mayoritariamente Guarani con menos Español= Ha´e nio oho kuri icolegiope Se puede hablar el Jopara mayoritariamente español con menos Guarani= El nio se fue kuri a su colegio Ambos significan la misma cosa y ambos tienen validez al momento de comunicarse, ninguno es mal hablado, algunos dicen que suena muy Tavy=ignorante y tildan al Jopara como Ñe´e Tavy= lenguaje vulgar. Ha quienes hablan solo español pero usan nio, ko, pio, na al final de ciertas palabras, por ejemplo, El nio fue, eso ko no es así, eso pio esta bien, haceme na caso. En fin, cada quien habla como le sea más fácil comunicarse y eso no significa que sea incorrecto.

Really apreciated, I'm argentinian but my grandparents are Paraguayan and I remember that they always used the "Let's speak in Guaraní" card when they didn't want us to know what they were saying or were discussing, what it seemed so funny to me was that they put some spanish words every so and then. Amazing video

Very interesting! And what made it even more enjoyable was the fact that a miracle occurred, and there were no ads!

A few years ago, I visited the Itaipú Hydroelectric project on the Paraná river between Paraguay and Brazil. I got on a bus with fellow tourists from Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. I've spoken southwestern U.S. / northern Mexican Spanish most of my adult life so I had no problem eaves-dropping on my fellow passengers from Argentina. The Brazilians of course evaded me with Portuguese, but I was baffled because I couldn't understand a word spoken by the Paraguayans. That was my first encounter with Guaraní and I'm ashamed to admit that I'd never heard of the language before then. Excellent video!

I never expected of a video of guarani, im argentinian, my parents and my grandparents are from Paraguay, in any family meeting they are speaking in guarani and listen to Polka Paraguaya, i love the paraguayan culture because i grow up in there. Like 1 month ago i began to learn guarani by duolingo... not is easy but i practice with my family so that makes it more entertaining

I`m Brazilian, once i went to Bolivia and i saw in some street poles ad for Guarani lessons, i found it very interesting because i never imagine that this language was still spoken outside indigenous groups, i though that was like Tupi is in Brazil. For me look very complicated, a lot of variations and conditions.

Like, "Che areko voi upea", which we say in Jopara "Yo tengo luego eso", the work "luego" is just how we translate "voi" and its purpose is to emphasize the "I _have_ that". In Jopara we also use some prefixes and suffixes from Guarani, for example, when we ask a question we add "na" to make it more polite, like "Prestame na eso", or "pa" to show that we are being suspicious, for example: "Por qué pa hizo eso?".

My father in law is a highschool Spanish teacher and did a summer exchange trip to Paraguay with his students for 10 years. He talked about guarani a lot and it’s cool to get to know more :-)

I'm from Brazil, and Guarani inspired several words, lyrics and phrases from Brazilian Portuguese, that's why it's so different from European! Curious isn't it??

Old Tupi influenced our language, not Guarani, there's a big difference between the two.

@@ariloussant nah, there's a "small" difference between them. Tupí and Guaraní were even closer than Spanish and Portuguese are. If anything, it would've been more like the similarities/differences between Portuguese and Galician - almost the same language, but not quite

@@JosePineda-cy6om Nah mate, i'm gonna have to disagree. I think you misunderstood what i meant by big difference, what i mean is that one could easily distinguish between them just by looking at the orthography and certain patterns. Old Guarani inherited the Proto-Tupi-Guarani *ts-/t͡ʃ- as an h, while Tupi semi-preserved it as an s-, the borrowings into Portuguese and the native words themselves could easily be distinguished by that (Tupi: mosapyt vs Guarani: mbohapy "three", T: cuarasy vs G: cuarahy "sun", T: soó vs G: hoó "meat") the dropping of final syllables (porã, instead of Tupi's poranga for example) and the usage of v in Guarani's orthography.

@@JosePineda-cy6om Also, the truly closest relatives of Guarani are part of its own subgroup, called Subgroup I, which includes Guarani proper, Kaiwá, Ache and Xetá en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guarani_languages Old Tupi is in subgroup III along with Potiguara, Cocama-Omagua and possibly Tupiniquim (if it could've been considered a different dialect from Tupinambá).

I am Argentinian, my mother from Paraguay and my father from the province of Corrientes in Argentina. Both were bilingual in Guarani but to a different extent. My mother used to say that my father's Guarani was not perfect because it was profoundly influenced by Spanish syntax. She used to notice certain terms which were different between Paraguayan standard Guarani and his "mistaken" south of Ibera National Park dialect. I was never capable of learning Guarani, which I regret it profoundly. For me, Guarani is the language of secrecy and gossips, my parents used to speak in that language when they didn't want my sister or I to understand what they were talking about. The same thing with my mother and my grandma, or my mother and her sister. Thank you for the video!

El guarani correntino suena un poco extraño para los que hablamosel de Paraguay, tiene mas influencia del español pero tambien tiene una pronunciacion similar a la de los Mbya.

The active/stative verb split, with the different sets of subject prefixes, is also a feature of the Muskogean languages of the southeastern US (Chickasaw, Choctaw, Alabama, Koasati, Hitchiti-Mikasuki, and Creek-Seminole)

Finally!!! You did a video on guarani, ive been waiting years for this video

I can't believe you made a video of Guarani!! I'm from Argentina (now living in Miami) and we learnt some words in Guarani thanks to a soap opera actor...in Argentina we have several locations named after a guarani name...and my grandmother who was german descent but came from Misiones (triple border Argentina Paraguay Brazil) knew that language..I love the sound of it!...it's very sweet!! You're the best Paul!!!😘😘😘

I clicked the notification as soon as I could. Paraguay is for me one of the most fascinating countries in Latin America, chiefly due to the Guarani language and its role in the country.

Hello, I love how you talk about my language and you respect it, I always like people to talk about my day in the Guarani language, I hope you continue to grow with your channel and I support you a lot,I greet you from the Guarani Earth.🇵🇾🇵🇾 Hola, nueva sub, amo como hablas de los idiomas, los explicas, y respetas cada idioma, mi idioma, el idioma Guaraní. Espero que tu canal siga creciendo y saludos desde la tierra Guaraní 🇵🇾🇵🇾

I would love to see a video exploring the vocabulary/grammar similarities between guarani and japanese. I've tried to locate it to no avail, but there's a publication by Felix de Guarania about a theory of guarani having descended from japanese, according to the malayo-polynesian population theory of South America. I'm kinda skeptic about this last point, but there are many testimonies from immigrants and paraguayan nikkei about how guarani is much easier to learn for them than spanish. Some examples include the use of particles, words like "ama/ame" = rain in guarani and japanese, respectively, or the way we call the "rock paper scissors" game. "Hakembo" in guarani, and "Jan ken pon" in japanese.

Thank you so much for this video! I live in southern Brazil and there are many Guarani settlements close to my town. The few times I visited, one of the most interesting things was listening to them explaining the differences between the variants of the languages spoken here and elsewhere

Thank you for this video featuring such an interesting, accurate and easy-to-understand history and characteristics of the Guarani language. I was born and raised in Paraguay but unfortunately never had the opportunity to speak the language although I can understand most of the "yopara" I hear people speak. Without a doubt, the Guarani language (along with the "terere" drink) gives Paraguay a strong national identity.

I'm so glad to see an indigenous language being brought to the light in this channel. I would love to hear you talk more about it specifically because, here in Brazil, Guarani (specially Tupi-guarani) influentioned a lot of words and lots of city names that we use in Portuguese

In Amazonia (former Grão Pará colony) there is a language called Nheengatu (Yẽgatu), which was, in the colonial period, the language spoken by the majority of amazonians until the end of XIX, when Portuguese became the main language (due to annexation by Brazilian Empire). Despite the geographical distance, Nheengatu is a bit similar to Guarani (both are Tupi-Guarani). Nowadays Nheengatu is an endangered language with some thousands of native speakers. The difference between Nheengatu and Guarani is like the difference between English and Dutch (or German) - Nheengatu is a quite analytical language and simplified like English.

In Paraguayan Guaraní "ñe'ẽngatu" means "chatterbox", "a person that can't stop talking". But the word was colonized (as many words in Guaraní). Originally it means "speaking strength, wisdom and kindness". It is one of the names given to the Guarani language.

Tanks Paul, I am following you since many years and as a Paraguayan I have always wondering when you were going to speak about our language. Happy to see you took your precious time to do it. Paraguay is an amazing country that may not have too many things to see, but those who has been there can agree their people is its most valuable resource.

Thank you Paul and his patrons. You guys might be helping save a part of our culture. I was born in Foz do Iguaçú and I know almost absolutely nothing about Guaraní, but I do intend to learn.

I'm American 🇺🇸 and I find this language interesting. When I was Ciudad del Este, I heard a lot of people speaking it. Hopefully I'll learn it in the future. I also noticed many paraguayans mixing both Spanish and Guarani.
