Hola hola, soy Tommy


Your favorite Spanish teacher!


And today we have a very special video ...


Oooh why?


what are we learning today?


About the verbs in--


NO! No! I don’t want any grammar today!


Ok, then I’ve got something else...


One of the best things about speaking Spanish is being able to communicate with all Spanish speaking countries.


Of course, all these countries have their own accents, dialects and expressions, which I find great. Otherwise it would be boring if we all always said the same thing.


So what are we learning exactly?


Since I am from the Dominican Republic, today we’ll learn the 10 funniest Dominican expressions!


Ooooh then número uno!


A Dominican doesn’t simply greet you with "hola, ¿como estás?", But also with ...


¿Qué lo qué?
¿Qué lo qué, manín?


¿Qué lo qué? Is an acronym for "qué es lo que pasa?", What's happening? What’s up?


All these expressions are colloquial expressions!


Of course, Spanish speakers often fall in love using the verb "enamorarse" in Spanish. But Dominicans have to go a step further than just "enamorarse" ...


Aficiarse


El dominicano no se enamora. Se aficia.


It comes from the verb "asfixiarse", which means "to suffocate".


Well, this took a dark turn real fast...


A Dominican not only falls in love, he becomes breathless.


And since we’re on the subject... Dominicans don’t just have lovers, but friends, amigos ...


Huh?


Un amigo / una amiga con derechos


A friend with rights !!


Right to what?


It’s how we call a friend with benefits.


OOOH ....!


El diablo. The devil is very important in the Dominican colloquial language.


El diablo es muy importante en el habla dominicana.


¡Mira! Una mujer ha mordido a un perro.


¡DIABLO!


¡Una bicicleta monta a un hombre!


¡EL DIABLO!


¡Está lloviendo de abajo para arriba!


¡EL DIAAAABLO!


¡Un helado se comió a un niño!


¡EL DIAAAABLO!


Por eso vamos a la iglesia todos los domingos.


Dominicans can compare ANYTHING with the devil!


"... más que el diablo." "... more... than the devil."


Tengo más hambre que el diablo.
Tengo más hambre que el diablo.


La gasolina está más cara que el diablo.
La gasolina está más cara que el diablo.


For a Dominican, you are not just a friend of mine, you are...


Tú eres mi pana full.
Tú eres de mi coro.
Tú eres de los míos.

"mi pana" is like "my pal"

"de mi coro" is like from my choir, from my group. Not that we necessarily sing...

and "uno de los míos", one of mine. One of my friends. An important one.

A Dominican is not only a great man, but...


Un montro !!


It comes from "monstruo (monster)". It means for us, that you are the best!


Tú ere un montro, loco !!!


"Una parte" is also a place in Spanish and if Dominicans have no plans, they go nowhere ....


Hoy no voy pa 'parte.


PA 'is a colloquial abbreviation of PARA, which is probably used in all Spanish-speaking countries ...


Hoy no voy pa 'ninguna parte.


If a Dominican is rich, he doesn’t just have money, houses, cars ... he has everything, todo. A Dominican has ...


TO!


DE TO!


Tú tiene de to! You have everything!


Tú'ta alante alante.


You are ... in front …


When most Spanish speakers are bored, it's called "estar aburrido", but sometimes a Dominican is more than just bored.


(NO TA EN NA) No estar en nada.


No toy en na. No toy en na hoy.


OJO


OJO


If you've already learned SER and ESTAR, you'll need to learn a third verb after that:


TA


If you call your husband or wife and you do not know where they are, you cannot just ask "dónde estás? (where are you?)


You need to ask...


"Dónde tú ta"?
"Dónde tú ta"?
¿Dóoooonde tú taaaaa '?


TA is the verb ESTAR (to be) in the Dominican colloquial language and here is the conjugation ...


Yo toy
Tú ta
Ella ta
Ute ta
Nosotro tamo
Ello tan
Utede tan
Lo dominicano tan
Los alemane tan
To el Mundo ta


¿Ta to 'claro?


EEEEEEHHHH ...

ESO ES TODO POR HOY
