I don't get why it's funny, but I do know that my friend thought his American learned Spanish (he wasn't fluent or anything) would be enough to understand people in Chile and it completely broke his brain when people would talk to him.

As a Latino, trust me, it's spot on. Edit: Spanish varies a lot from country to country but Chile in specific has a very thick slang and cadence that is confusing as gently caress. If you know Spanish you can understand them, of course, but a lot is lost depending on how casually the Chilean speaker is expressing themselves. A comparison would maybe be New Zealand English? Or south African, perhaps. Just a combination of a unique accent and slang that's so widespread it becomes its own language. Hugoon Chavez has a new favorite as of 08:28 on Jul 18, 2019 |

The afrikaaners have some completely nonsense words for stuff (a ute/pickup truck is a bakkie), and tend to intersperse afrikaans words into the mix to really gently caress things up. I'm Aussie and apparently have a thicker accent and still can't understand my South African coworkers lol

The stereotypical "yeah nah me old ute's fair buggered after I was having a hoon the other night and got into a bit of a ding-up, but crikey dicks the new one goes like a stamped rat" NZ English is not actually how most people talk, the sort of standard NZ English is fairly close to BBC English. Chilean Spanish is a pretty ubiquitous way of speaking isn't it?

People seemed to have trouble understanding me in Canada sometimes, and my New Zealand accent was never particularly broad. Jokes on me though, I put effort into being understood and now that I’m back in NZ I have this semi Irish sounding mongrel of an accent

I know a guy who spoke almost exactly like Boomhauer but with most profanity when I lived in Austin. It was entertaining as gently caress getting high and listening to him ramble

jesus WEP posted:Cork farmers aren’t even understandable to the rest of Ireland I could make out "sheep" and "missing", but that's about it. Geordie can be incomprehensible at times, as well. I spent a couple of years in Newcastle, staying with Geordie relatives, and it's normally not a problem at all. However, occasionally we'd go out to the pub and meet up with some friends and there was this one who would lean over to me and tell me a joke, and it was just ... Geordie-sounding noise, all accent and no recognisable words at all.

bike tory posted:Chilean Spanish is a pretty ubiquitous way of speaking isn't it? I haven't been in Chile per se, but in my personal experience with Chileans, yes. Not that they can't tone it down when the need arises, but they usually don't give a poo poo, they even usually write the same way they speak, which is hard to follow as well. But hey people don't understand me in Spain either if I'm speaking with another Venezuelan in heavy slang so, glass houses, etc. "You're a bit of an rear end in a top hat" Spain: eres un poco gilipollas Venezuela: eres medio mamaguebo Chile: eri la wea de weon po

Colonialism can leave behind some weird language quirks. Indian English is often recognisable but antiquated and formal since the whole Raj thing, and Indians tend to be aware of it and just don't care or are proud of it.

I'm quite lucky in that the people I learnt to speak with were all Chilean, so the accent doesn't throw me off as much as it might with other people and I've developed a healthy fear of the letter "s" I live with a Colombian guy and Venezuelan girl, who I both understand completely... ...and a guy from Madrid I can't understand at all.

CannonFodder posted:"You're a bit of an rear end in a top hat." I just want to say that this phrase is amazing. Not only is a sick low-key burn but is extremely versatile beyond "You're an rear end in a top hat". It can also be "Go gently caress yourself", "Get hosed", or "I don't give a gently caress" etc. Also for content: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zk3Uhw6kYVo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03iwAY4KlIU Classic Briar accent in America. I have to admit, growing up in Appalachia when I was very young--when I moved away to a place that didn't have the accent I was ridiculed, so I learned to speak a more neutral American English to avoid being looked at as dumb or weird. I can code switch pretty easily though, and my extended family have the accent so understanding it is no problem (it isn't terribly difficult anyway, but there are things that are unique). Apparently when I talk about more 'masculine' things or when I drink a bit too much my accent pops out and others find it kind of funny how I change subtly yet drastically. dialhforhero has a new favorite as of 14:59 on Jul 18, 2019 |
