WEPA!! I was born and raised in P.R. I joined the US Army and at my first duty station I met some Mexicans and I was sooo happy to speak with someone in spanish until they spoke to me and I was so confused. I told them to speak to me in English because I could not understand them. LOL... I did grow up watching El Chavo and Chapulin ( Who didnt?? ) Anyways... I was like... Loco... hablame en Ingles porque yo no te entiendo! LOL... Ive been here in the States for over 25 yrs... actually I live in Texas and yes, I do understand their slangs!! Viva Mexico y Puerto Rico!!
As a Puerto Rican, I have always had troubles understanding Mexicans speaking Spanish lol. It just sounds different. Funny thing is my Mexican friends say it’s weird how I speak Spanish and they can’t understand it sometimes lol.
Solo tienen que ver las telenovelas y series de Netflix Mexicanos y aprenderán. Pero es verdad, tienen una jerga allí amplia. He vivido en Mexico y conozco algunas palabras pero no todas. Casi nadie nos entiende en el Caribe porque hablamos tan rápido y cortamos tantas letras jaja
How is that funny *?* It's to be expected. Same language but from two different nations, colonized differently. A lot of Mexican Spanish is derived from Indigenous languages. You guys have West African influences. Mexico & Colombia have the Spanish that is closest to Spain. 🇲🇽🇺🇲✌🏼~
@@sarahd.gonzalesbaby6660 In Puerto Rico we have a lot of Taino words too, Boricua and Borinquen being the most known. But yes as Mexico was one of the central administrative locations of the Spanish empire in the America’s it’s Spanish maintains certain similarities to how Spanish evolved in real time mainly influenced by the Toledo influenced variety accent/grammar/colloquialisms. Puerto Rico being more remote during the colonial times maintains many older forms of Spanish, particularly from when the Andalusian (Sevilla) variety was the prestigious one.
I’m of Mexican descent, I’ve never heard anyone in my family use the word changarro before. Learn something new everyday. 👍 I love seeing unity among Mexicans & Puerto Ricans. 🇲🇽❤️🇵🇷 May God bless you both.
I was lucky as a kid I grew up around Puerto Ricans as a teen I grew up around Dominicans as an adult I’ve worked with Venezuelans, Mexicans, Dominicans, and picked up on a lot of slangs my closest friends are Mexican too so that helps
I’m Mexican and me and my family use changarro to refer to a small shop or stand or like a small restaurant especially like at flea markets and whatnot
Feria is not just Money. It is coin money. It is a form to call coins because you get feria (coins) to play the games and get on the rides. It is not just Money.
I knew some of the words because I used to watched Chespirito U r a nice couple A word that I thought your boyfriend was going to used was China cause we Puerto Ricans are the only one that used it for Orsnge
Major differences between Spanish speaking people from the Caribbean vs from central America to begin with for many reasons. Seems like a majority of Mexicans and other central Americans have largely ancestry of these Native Americans from that region with much of this native ancestry mixed with European ancestry. Puerto Ricans look mostly European, African or a mix of European and African. I saw in Wikipedia that the average height of men in Mexico is 5'7" with the countries south of Mexico having an average height shorter than Mexicans but with the Puerto Ricans the average height of men is 5'11" according to Wikipedia. That looks about right because I see tons of Puerto Rican men 6'0" or taller making me feel short around most Puerto Rican men at 5'7" but around many of these central Americans I feel somewhat tall around them on average.
lol I'm a 5'6" Puerto Rican and I feel like an absolute midget in Puerto Rico. I need to visit Central America to see what it feels like to be normal-sized for once.
@@Jonmad17 central America and for atleast the southern half of Mexico you won't feel short. In northern Mexico most men are 5'10 to 5'11" or average in northern regions of Mexico. These Mexicans are taller for 2 reasons. One being that this area of Mexico has many more Mexicans of European ancestry then in southern Mexico. Plus the native American Mexicans in northern Mexico are much taller on average then in southern Mexico and Central America. Most native American tribes in North America were taller on average vs Europeans in the 17th, 18th and 19th century and in the great Plains taller then European Americans in the mid 19th century by 4 inches or 10 cm. Mexico is in north America but the southern area feels like central America because they look much more like the people in these central Americans countries then the Mexicans in the northern regions of Mexico.
You got me on Ghangarro.Never heard of that one.I got almost all the others.Aguas is more known in Puerto Rico than you think.A lot of Ricans kno w what it is,also we say canon o pronounced canyon.Esta canyon.
En lugar de hablarse en inglés, ¿por qué no se hablan más bien en español « neutro » ? Sería más realista, sobre todo porque la base del español mexicano y del español puertorriqueño es la misma. Eso aparte, es buen video. Que Dios los bendiga y los cuide.
Feria means money to Mexicans Algarete Puerto Ricans means wild you’re going wild or crazy Watch out or look out for me for Mexicans Chavos to Puerto Rican’s means money To Mexicans that means difficult Jangiar means to hang for Puerto Rican’s Chambiar to Mexicans is to work Acho to Puerto Rican dude Mexicans bronca means conflict fight Corillo To Puerto Rican’s means crew To Mexicans chángrro means work To Puerto Rican’s wepa means happiness Chafa to Mexicans means cheap

Because Puerto Ricans aren't Spanish and Hispanic and Latino until given back to Spain and getting independence only from Spain

Sadly its because the genocide of the Caribbean natives

"Puerto Ricans look mostly European, African or a mix of European and African."
Looks like you're confusing Puerto Ricans for Cubans.
"I'm 50%Cuban 🇨🇺and 50%Salvadorian 🇸🇻!"

WEPA
Ferria I learned that on fast and furious lol
Damn she cute
Thanks :)
@@melisalopez6907 you very welcome
Shes decent. Much cuter girls out there.
They say "aguas" in P.R. with the same meaning.
I did not know this 😮
Nuh uh
Solo cuando acabábamos de ver “El Chavo del Ocho”. 😄
We only use it in the caseríos, when the police come after the gang members, they scream “agua”, not aguas.
¿Qué es la que hay corillo?
grupo de amigos :)
@@melisalopez6907 😉
What about zafacon?
Puerto ricans use bronca too im surprised your bf doesnt know that many puerto rican slang.
❤❤❤
Bruh Melisa You out of school your Smart You can understan him😂
Me Leo
of course I'm smart :)
Say wat?! In Filipino, we say "pera" for the word "money" apart from "dinero". It sounded pretty close.
“Aguas con ...” quiere decir “cuidado...” ¿verdad?
Aguas is also say like to be careful?
also all of this is dependent on where you are from? south, middle and north are very different
You've got to tell me the name of that spanish song you were listening to so I can find it and listen to it.
hi Melissa I love your videos soy fer😊☺️😀😃
Que bueno que te gustan Fer!

Puerto Rico has a National Football team lol, but they are not recognized on the mainstream level like other nations.

Well Los boricuas son como Los Hawaiians. They don't carry the American flag but are Americans for their convenience !! The benefits
Most carribean latin countries baseball is the popular sport not soccer.
