Following on from the adoption of English words in Spanish in the latest Notes In Spanish, I am reliably informed by my partner that there are also a few Spanglish words, such as:

footing - jogging (Spaniards think this is an English word)

puenting - bungy jumping

Keep up the good work - like the transcripts, a bit over my head otherwise.

[Ben]

Thanks jof,
goodness knows who first came up with the word footing!

[Marina]

I add another spanglish word:

Camping - staying in a campsite or sleeping in a tent in general.

[ValenciaSon]

Would the word futbol be considered spanglish?

[Marina]

I suppose it is, but at least fútbol has been Spanished more than camping or footing.
-ing ending is not Spanish at all.

To my surprise, my sister-in-law never says "estacionamiento," but "parking."

[Marina]

We use "parking" for car park. For the action to park we use "aparcar"

[ValenciaSon]

Does guay mean cool?

[Ben]

Does guay mean cool?
Yup: cool, fantastic, excellent....
Often used by cool kids in mind boggling sentences like:

"Estoy flipando, tio, es super guay - vamos, que alucino tronco..."
:cool:

[richardksa]

The French also have "le camping", "le parking", "le trecking", "le footing" while they have perfectly good expressions of their own they can use. For a while I thought that "shampooing" was another, until I found out otherwise!! It's just the overwhelming invasion of English. On my first visit to Madrid I commented on the amount of English I had seen on advertising hoardings and in shop windows while walking to the HQ that morning. Both the person I was meeting and her assistant denied it. That just did not notce it any more. I think it has become so engrained in the language that its etymology has been forgotten. Just think of all the French in English that we just regard as normal to our language.

(Just reading "The Adventure of English" by Melvyn Bragg. There he writes about the huge amout of Spanish that was imported into English during Elizabethen times.)

[ValenciaSon]

Can I get a transcript for that message and the answers?:confused::confused:

[Ben]

"Estoy flipando, tio, es super guay - vamos, que alucino tronco..."

That message?

[ValenciaSon]

Half-kidding on the request, but what does what does flipando and alucino mean? I got from you that tronco sort of means dude.


(I feel so old:eek::eek:)

[Ben]

Flipar - to be amazed
Alucinar - to be totally amazed, not beleive it
Alucino con como son los politicos ultimamente...

[ValenciaSon]

For use of the word flipar, could you say ella me tiene flipado con su belleza.

[Marina]

Perfectamente... pero si usas "me tiene flipado" (muy coloquial), yo no usaria "con su belleza", usaria algo más coloquial como " me tiene flipado con lo buena que está" :D:D:D

[guapo]

...usaria algo más coloquial como " me tiene flipado con lo buena que está" :D:D:D

let me make a note of that for the next time I am in Spain.... ;)

[ValenciaSon]

Pick-up Lines From Spain. That could be a worthwhile podcast. Anything for furthering language learning.;)

I remember reading somewhere that the Spanish word 'tiburón', which means shark, was actually used in England for some time.

It's easy - Just follow the instructions that Ben and Marina gave in the Notes in Spanish podcast (can't remember which one) and ask ¿Estudias o trabajas?

;D ;D ;D

[jessica]

Should one be leaning on their Ferrari when using that line? :rolleyes:

it couldn't hurt! :D

[lumpsuckerpig]

So how would you say to a señorita "You have a better forward line than Real Madrid!"

¡Tienes una delantera mejor que el de Real Madrid!

:)

Ben y Marina,

Tengo que decir que los podcasts y las transcripciones son super útiles.

Y para Ben, tu uso del subjuntivo es muy edificante. ¿Todavía te cuesta mucho usarlo en conversaciones diarias o es fácil hoy dia?
