Girl words will end in “a”, boy words will end in “o”. Except for a few hundred exceptions.
Those exceptions that you think are exceptions are really not. La radio for example, they name it la radio because radio is an abreviation of radiofonia.
@guayabito-para-ti then what are "el agua" and las aguas" short for?
@Daniel-bl4gz all i can say is água in portuguese is always femenine no mather if its single or plural, but there are also many words that dont end with an a or o, so the rule gets very muddy
@Daniel-bl4gz It is a phonetic rule to avoid saying "aa", but it is femenine (el ágila, las ágilas is similar; "El Agila RojA").
There are words that can be used with both genres, and the meaning is close. "El mar" and "la mar" ... La mar is mostly used by seamen and poets ... Also la COVID (enfermedad) or el COVID (virus), both are valid.
I heard the only exceptions are Greek loanwords.
Inventing French: “should we make the spelling make sense?”
‘Fuque yeaux hell neaux’
Same genderization of words as well, and when you speak masculine, you pronounce the last letters just a little bit more, for women it seems like we only pronounce the first half of the word lol
There's only one language whose spelling makes less sense than French. You haven't thought that one through, though, tough guy.
@13tuyuti🎯
For eighty we can say four times twenty!
Yea, French also has grammatical gender, spelling is a nightmare, almost every verb is conjugated differently.
But it still easier than Spanish, because a dress is female!
"What if we made it harder to learn"
French: you called?
Maybe it's me, but French isn't that hard to learn. It just looks like it is. Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Italian, on the other hand...
And German is a gray area. I can get pronunciation right and read German as if I'm fluent (or close to it), but it takes a while for me to figure out what I said if it's not already something I know.
@canaisyoung3601 i think it's just because french is more complicated than spanish, not because it's like the hardest language ever
And how about basque people ?
@SerenaLarsen_SLene bada... balizko errotak garirik ez mom ami
@hhjkjfdfyI found Spanish and Italian to be more complicated than French.
"I'm sorry, Barcelona again." LOL
Barthelona* hahahah
PUT YOUR TONGUE BACK IN YOUR MOUTH!!
Where the language is Catalan-similar but definitely not Spanish. And they’ve fighting about it since Isabella reneged on her ancestor’s royal prenuptial agreement.
Lmaooo
Barcelona in Catalan is not pronounced "Barthelona", but "Barselona"...
"The Iberians, who will one day be called the Spanish"
Me, a Portuguese person: am I a joke to you?
😭😭😭
Lighten up 😂
Si
Nah in this period the castillians considered the Portuguese theirs also. And the Galicians are sitting with you wondering what's up too 😜. It tracks
Where in Brazil is Portugal?
Siestas were created to avoid the hottest part of the day to conserve energy for work. A brilliant idea.
It does help break the day and relelief stress
it also takes place after lunch when you're sleepy anyway from digesting all that food
Facts 💯 the intention was to avoid the scorching temperatures, then return to work.
Meanwhile the west cannot figure out what a dictator is 😶
@nemo2327 Spain is part of the west 😭
i swear marcello writes all the best skits! "the ocean is a boy because it's fun, but sometimes, for no reason, IT KILL YOU." 😂
He is my favorite!!!
Even better, the bible being a girl because it tells you no to anything you want to do 😅... Nevertheless I love my bible (sorry, I love my wife).
Welll
Sea is girl for the same reason in shore regions. Inland it is usually sea is a boy
Confusing, yes... we know
SNL now at its lowest point. This sketch is too slow and feels tropey
@blewmyflute Have mercy ,1269 IBERIA'S drinking H20 and the plague were no easy matter,,but yes the high five SALUDOS between the Bible defender and MARceLLo waS Iconoclastic, blasphemous,hell awaits them!
Who’s here after the superbowl
Me😂😂😂
Theres gotta be a reason im eatching snl...
Meeee
Me. It showed up in my feed.
Me
"Everything you wanna do, it say NO" 😂😂😂
Kennan lost there and then LA barceLEONA JUMPS IN,,,
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Best line of the night.😂😂😂😂😂
I came to the comment immediately I heard it 😂
4 years of HS Spanish, 3 years in college, finally pays off.
Same here. Then comes real world in Texas and lawn care workers. I don't know how to tell then to stop dragging my hammock stand across my lawn, but I could discuss dinner choices w8th them.
@ann-mariemeyers9978 Tell them: Por favor, no arrastre la hamaca por el pasto.
@ZZ22-b3o Correct: "to drag" > "arrastrar". 👌
I got a BS in Journalism just so I could avoid four more years of Spanish! That’s how bad I am😂
If you had four years of high school Spanish, there would be no need for three years of college Spanish unless these were literature classes.
Taking a nap in the middle of the day was a fabulous idea. Love a good siesta 😴
My friend, you are a true Spaniard😂😂. Greetings from Asturias.
Yeah, it's not so cute when you are in the middle of gathering groceries and get told to promptly leave without your purchase because the store is now closed....Also, it's hot as heck during the day starting in March. plus they drink with lunch. Of course you need a nap after a 4course meal with wine in blazing heat...
@meaculpa6984 We still work after 5 so you can time your grocery shopping with the actual opening hours... like you know everywhere else
Oooh yes!! You have to be fresh for the evening’s shenanigans
Cousin Benecio: "We siesta in the middle of the day and then we fiesta in da noche!"
Everyone: "YEAH!!!"
Kenan Thompson wiping the Barcelonan’s spit off his own face was brilliant 😂
I play the Columbus skit in my history class and I'm convinced that every Bad Bunny appearance on SNL should feature a mandatory "history" sketch.
Just like Nate Bargatze should always do a “Washington” sketch! 🥰
@g1ngerg I don't teach colonial era American history but yes, I know that one is quite popular in my department.
That is probably my most favorite sketch. This one did not measure up to that unfortunately
Ewwww. It was nit that funny. Which is sad. Because snl had to work really had to have him seem funny.
@angelestorres6334😂😂😂😂 facts
I’m a Spanish philologist from Spain and I can say It happened exactly like this. Saludos 👋
En serio?
😂
Really?? Nomelokreo…
@badblood18 Of course, he's a philologist from Spain.
No sé, Rick...
Siesta derives from the Latin voice “sexta”, sixth in English. The Romans divided the day into 24 hours, twelve night hours and twelve day hours, and the Sixth Hour (sexta hora in Latin or hora sexta in spanish) was midday and the hottest part of the day, especially throughout the Mediterranean, so they dedicated that hour to take a rest. since it was more exhausting to undertake any type of work or task at that time. It must be taken into account that it is common in some areas of the Mediterranean region for temperatures to reach and even exceed 40ºC.
Someone should teach this to the people living in Arizona
Is a myth that here we have siesta and we close everything.
But if I wake up at 4.45 am in the morning, for sure i will have a rest as soon as I go home....
Greeting from Madrid.
@Violet-qp2jr Es un mito si lo extiendes a toda España. En en sur, en verano, a 45º, te metes en tu casa si o si por la tarde y lo mejor que haces es dormirte una siesta y salir a la calle a partir de las 20. Si trabajas en medio rural es obligatorio, si trabajas a jornada intensiva tambien es recomendable.
Qué guay
BTW, for those who need the translation, 40ºC is equal to 104ºF. 😰
2:00 As someone from Barcelona I like and know what they did here 😂😂
I would love an explanation!
@hannahpecot7613I’m pretty sure they actually do have their tongues out way to long while they speak 🗣️
@Children_Of_Humanity in Spain most people (people who speak Castilian dialect) pronounce the sound "z" which are used for tje letters "z" and "c" when followed by an "e" or an "I" in a different way. In other places as well as in English "z" and "c" can be pronounced the same way as "s"
(Ex: zeroe, centipede, salamander)
But in Castilian dialect z and c would be pronounced like a "th" in English
So zapatos would be pronounced Thapatos, cocinar would be cothinar etc. In the sketch they exaggerated it and made it seem like he has a lisp, because it is a common joke between Spanish speakers in the US to say that spain Spanish is Spanish with a lisp because of the pronunciation of those sounds
@hannahpecot7613 Spanish language from Spain has nothing to do with the Spanish from Latin America
@hannahpecot7613 Spanish in Spain for the most part has a actual lisp like “gracias” becomes “grathias” or “que hace hoy” be “que hathe hoy”
"Yes, the ocean is a boy, because it is fun...but sometimes, for no reason, it killllll you" 😂
Bit too real 😅
1:11 The morning is like hey😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂 favorite 😂
And "el amanecer" the sunrise is a boy
😂😂😂
“De bible is a gurl because everyting you wanna do it say No” 😂😂😂😂
🎉I laughed soo loudly... omg so funny
That's as real as it gets!
Hahahaha 😂
I played it again just to re hear this line!
Funny thing is Spanish isn't even the hardest language in the peninsula
Have you heard English lately? I've been at it since 2nd grade and I still can't understand when politicians talk.
Exactly, because they don't know about Basque. Highly appreciate the Romans came by. Otherwise this sketch would be dealing with Basque instead.
@anna_mn euskara oso erraza da. Gaztetik hasten bazara ikasten.
Those of us who speak English as our primary language don't understand the politicians, either
Mikey's lispy accent is absolutely killing me 😂
How dare thou
Ith not a lithp, ith barthelonian.
Devastatingly funny 😂😂
The one next to him wiping off his cheek 😂
portuguese XD
This skit will be shown in so many Spanish classes. On behalf of all Spanish teachers: thank you.
No it won't, this skit sucks.
German is much the same way, except you have 3 versions of “the” to figure out (der, die, das) which goes with which word. 😂
If latin wasn’t gendered sure. In spanish the neutral names dissapeared so it is easier to learn. That is why romance languajes are gendered (which mainly share the gender of each noun).
Perhaps you need a career other than teaching
I’m a Spanish and wrote the same
And let's throw in three basic verb conjugations, which are the -ar, -er, and -ir regular verb endings, and a total of 18 tenses across three moods (indicative, subjunctive, and conditional). In total, a single regular verb can have 153 different forms when you consider all the tenses, moods, and forms like the infinitive, gerund, and past participle. Don't worry though because they follow the same basic patterns, except for when they don't.
That's the same thing with French, only the common verb endings are -er, -ir, and -re. And I notice there are more French irregular verbs than regular ones and there are verb tenses that aren't used much anymore (like the simple past or the imperfect subjunctive). I think Spanish might have the same thing.
@canaisyoung3601yeah I speak both and I'd say French is slightly more complicated bc of spelling and how they formulate their toughts (they use way more words), Spanish is quite straight forward
That was my biggest obstacle in learning spanish in school.
@canaisyoung3601french is harder than spanish in general, I speak both
So a woman is a verb
Lol😅 1:40 whyyy
Accurate lol
The gentleman from Barcelona killed me. 😂
Interesting word choice there. lol
He saved the horrifying sketch
Don't let anyone from Barcelona see this 😂 they'll have a fit. They insist on calling Spanish "Castillano" 😅
Also most European languages have complicated grammar. English is simple stupid I guess so everyone can learn it. It's my fourth language 😉 out of seven
@MyPinkUrbanOasisWell, we say “castellà” in Catalan or “castellano” in Spanish. We can also say “espanyol”/“español”. They are basically synonyms. But I’d never say “Castilian” in English, just “Spanish”.
Btw, I don’t think the writers intended this but it’s pretty accurate that the guy from Barcelona gets decapitated xd. [See Siege of Barcelona (1713-1714)]
@MyPinkUrbanOasis They are right
Benito and a Benicio sharing a screen 🙌🏻 every Puerto Rican is screeching right now 🔥
Why don't they have American actors on Saturday Night Live? 🤣🤣🤣
OMG... turns out I'm Puerto Rican 😮. ❤😊❤
@miesenplace you mean like all of these guys?
@miesenplaceYou mean Native American
Oh no…I must be what they call ‘awake’. I love all cultures and diversity the sound of other languages and delicious foods from other countries.
2:30 James Austin Johnson had only one line... but he put everything into it.
He really nailed that old outraged conservative man from the crowd. Why do they always sound like that in movies lol
How many came here cause of the halftime show
🥰🐇🏈
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Me!
It came to me. Hail, mighty algorithm. :D
Not them choosing Barcelona as the CASTILLIAN accent one lmaooooo. Absolutely love the skit, tho
It's like giving an English man a Scottish accent but simply because they are ignorant
Every single time! 🤣😫
barcelona is mainly southern andalusian accent bc the majority of local people have southern rooters and I know bc im from Barcelona lol
@spicyf well everybody in bcn have that accent, bc catalanospeakers are just a tiny minority after the arabspeakers lol
@jencallahan2233 well everybody in bcn have that accent, bc catalanospeakers are just a tiny minority after the arabspeakers lol
LOL 2:55 "I think we should skip this" and spray Kenan with saliba,
Wow🎉 Benicio del Toro!
TY - I didn't know who he was
🇬🇧🇪🇸
You know him best as Duke, the Dog Faced Boy
@justyoutubinDid that film make it across the Atlantic?
HE just say 3 words jajaja love him
El Toro (bull) is a boy. La vaca (cow) is a girl.
Benito needs to narrate Don Quixote with that heavy voice he's using 😂
I am from Poland and I love learning Spanish. This language is nuts and I love it. Everything feels like a Mexican telenovela. Soap is a guy, washer is a girl. Next episode: he cheats with la esponja (the sponge). 😂
So many of those laundromat items are being caught and deported by ICE.
oh man, there's an old language learning video series that ran on educational TV Americans in the 80's or 90's that IS in a telenovela format. It's called Destinos. It's designed to be a supplement to approx. high school level Spanish class. You can't get it on youtube but it's probably available somehwere online
Polish is complicated too! At least for me
And I admire anybody who takes on the excruciatingly painful task of learning one of the hardest languages in all of europe, polish... it makes learning spanish seem like learning U.S. english
@dariuszszymaszek9975 here have an egg , on the house
Of course there were similar
workshops in Italy, France, and Portugal at the exact same time.
Romania?
Nearly every european language outside english actually, some even have neutral and cases.
Well, Latin has gendered nouns, so it is natural the languages derived from it also follow this way of refering to nouns.
What's funny is that English didn't copy this method eventhough they have both Latin and French influence.
@HighExplosiveSerenade Why is it funny that English didn't continue a stupid pattern from Latin? You should know that English did not have Latin influence outside of French. English was a Germanic language until the French influence after the Norman Conquest. French is a Romance language, so English took on some of that influence from the French, but not independent of the Norman Conquest..
Why is it funny that English doesn't refer to a skirt as a girl and a dress as a boy? That just seems sensible to me. A dress and a skirt are simple fabric stitched together with no genitalia, no X or Y chromosomes, and no self-identification as either gender. (In French, a dress is a girl - la robe - but in Spanish it's a boy. I guess... that's funny?)
@HighExplosiveSerenade Old English had three grammatical genders, with its own fuckery like "neuter wīf ("woman", "wife") and mæġden ("girl"), and masculine wīfmann ("woman")"
For those interested, the last picture is The Alcázar of Toledo, in the centre of the country🎉
Thank you! I went to Toledo years ago and that picture brought back memories
@FreedomofSpeech865 toledo, ohio
Is it? I thought it was a drawing of the old Alcázar de Madrid, which stood once where the royal palace stands now.
Been there!
@Amadis691 Nope, it's Toledo. I live in Madrid.
For those that don’t know that was the universal Latin “dap” or handshake if you will 2:45
This skit is a Puerto Rican Spanish teacher’s dream!😂Gracias SNL❤
Please quit if you're a teacher
@jeanfredperez313 q niño tu eres, madura
El Castellano Que hablan en Puerto Rico es casi tan malo Como el de Chile. Por eso salen espantapajaros Como este Bad Bunny
@VoteForBarryla variate dialectal de diferentes zonas no es un “español malo” es una variante del español que es tan válida como cualquiera…
@VoteForBarryno he ido a ambos y chileno es mucho más difícil
Great Benecio cameo! He should host! ❤❤🎉
Benicio
"unformal, informal"... 😂
I bet he will, he’s got a movie coming out
Que lastima!@VeraSá267
😂😂😂😂😂
"Barthelona" had me cracking up! 😂
"so far is looking geeewwdddd!!!" 😂😂😂😂😂
2:16 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Me encantoooo. Great writers!!!!!
Kenan's "go head, tell us" lolololololol
I saw glimpses of Big Papi 😭 «mofongo con polo frito en ahrrrroz»
@angelestorres6334hahahaaaa
I knew it! Its been since my teenage years since I hadn't seen him on Nikelodeon on Keenan and Kel. ❤❤❤
Hola, Adios! at: 3:07. 🤣🤣
As a Spaniard, I laughed too much 😂
4:16 this kid is me
Need proof
Do my sister frfrfr
"I'm thorry, Barthalona again". LOLOLOLOL
I LOVE THIS SKIT!
😂
I'm brom Barcelona, why the hell did I read this "I love thith thkit"?
You guys realize that people from Barcelona or anywhere in Spain don’t pronounce s’s like c/z/th right ?
@romanmcmillan7542 They do not realize and likely never will
@romanmcmillan7542it’s a silly skit calm down
I'm enjoying these various grammar skits we've had lately. Every language has so many weird rules. 🤭
But it's an interesting look at how other countries' languages express themselves...and to see if there are any grammar rules they have that English doesn't.
It's a lot more nuanced than said though (obviously), but especially with the lisp. Why, when you have several cities (Zaragoza literally being the best example of where the lisp is applied) that can be correctly pronounced with said accent, would you choose a Catalonian city in which said lisp doesn't exist at all?
@whitejag4819 That's what I was thinking too! I guess it's just because the audience would recognize the name more than Zaragoza.
They never said why a dress was a boy.
@canaisyoung3601I know it's all for fun, but Latin has gendered nouns, too. Spanish just continued that tradition.
"Because the morning is like heeyyyy" 😂😂😭✌
Not sure why the "Barcelona again" dude had that lisp, when we Catalan people don't pronounce the C that way, but I laughed my ass off anyway 🤣🤣🤣
I had a Catalonian teacher for my Latin Spanish class once. Didn't go well 😂😂😂
Haha yes you do. Not as exaggerated but you absolutely say grathias
He should have been from Zaragoza.
That’s how it sounds to Americans lol we don’t have another similar sound so that’s the closest we can approximate it
Because Americans aren't particularly smart and they don't understand what a lisp is.
Ive been living in PR since 2011....never did i EVER imagine we have two Puerto Rican Benicios, side-by-side teaching the world Spanish. 🤣🤯
There's only one Benicio. Bad Bunny's name is Benito.
I don’t know how Puerto Ricans could teach Spanish because they don’t speak it.
Del Toro’s native language is English, I hasten to add.
@tanizaki Nene, Benicio del Toro es nacido y criado en Puerto Rico. No vino a aprender inglés hasta que se mudó a EEUU a trabajar. La mayoría de los boricuas en PR no hablan un pío de inglés en su día a día (90%+) y orgullosamente lol
@marimete7467Nacido en Santurce(Puerto Rico) y curiosamente sus antepasados son de Santurce(España)
@tanizakiidiot
YAY!!! BENICIO DEL TORO !!!
The facials expressions of Benito 😂 He absolutely nailed the acting on this one
I love the tone of “historical accuracy” the opening creates, before being immediately cast asunder when they decide to “invent” the grammatical gender they got from Latin 😂😂😂
Literally. Latin had three grammatical genders: Feminine, masculine and neuter
SNL is historically inaccurate for cheap laughs. Like the USA "inventing" IMPERIAL units when they were actually intending to be one of the first countries to switch to metric. The boat with the measurements sank, so they just scrapped the idea. That's a lot funnier, but they just went with the easy joke because it takes less brainpower.
@megariggedAre you OK?
Well, they also say the Iberians appeared in the ruins of the Roman Empire... 🤷♂
@Bender81Yeah, even the opening isn’t perfect, but it has the *VIBE* of like, “oh, they tried to be historical” and when the actors actually start talking it’s like, nope, not at all 😂
i love how kenan still struggles not to laugh 😭
when I see Benicio Del Toro, I think Brad Pitt early in the morning....
😳😳
No. Not at all....
To start with, there's a size issue. Benicio is tall and very very broad. Brad is shorter
😂
Fr I almost thought it was him😂😂
Except taller , no longer blond and fluent-ish in a second language
I don't know the names of these guys, I recognize them though. The man you were referring I don't know who that is, but yea, I also thought he had a Brad Pitt look.
They say languages were given to us by aliens
Loooooved this. The dude from Barthelona was hilarious.
One of my parents' friends was a woman from Barcelona. Probably the first thing I learned about Spanish was the pronunciation of her hometown. Yes, it is "Barthelona." I think I learned this before SNL was even on the air.
@EdT.-xt6yv * THalamanca
@gordonmills2748 Silly , it had nothing to do with her being from BarTHelona and EVERYTHING to do with being from eTHpaña. They would also probably pronounce it MthNBC (📺)
He is from Thiudad R(rrr)eal
@angelestorres6334 Ignorante.
This is going to help me with my duolingo lessons
As a Spaniard, I appreciate the explanation on how difficult Spanish is for English speakers. I won't go into details about how it's mission impossible for Spanish speakers to pronounce English. In English we move muscles we didn't even know existed in our faces. In Spanish just move your tongue and that'll do it.
Its just Americans of the last say 45 yrs. No tienen verguenza.
its much more do do with pronunciation. spanish and english have allot of worlds derived from latin. english grammar is horrible. something they share with the french.
spanish deserves respect for being easy to spell!
English, newspeak which phonetic rule comes to "because".
hey! maybe that makes us better kissers... lol
This is the funniest skit I've ever seen on SNL
Love this. Also I been reading the comments and I’m very happy so many people are learning Spanish. Keep it going.👍🏼🇵🇷
I'm Haitian 🇭🇹🇭🇹, both Spanish & English are foreigner languages to us but people need to realize Spanish is the most spoken language in the American continent 🌎.
Learn it for what? Just another colonizer language.
@mixtapemania6769I've met some haitians in my country Argentina and their spanish was ok. I thought you learned it at school 😅
@Reïr3x we do. But not from day 1. It's taught in secondary school kind of how in some Hispanic countries they have English classes. Haitians still see it as a foreign but many know it as a 2nd or 3rd language.
@mixtapemania6769hopefully not for long. It should be drawn from the land like poison from a wound, the native languages are so much cooler. If you know the difference it's just depressing.
Legend has it Juan Jamón met Bad Bunny at a concert and has been following him around ever since.
Who
@hihihidumpJohn hamm
Juan Ramón Jimenéz, the famous poet?
@EdT.-xt6yv he won the race at miller park yesterday, yet the hispanic announcers said nothing
@hihihidumpJon Hamm, or as some know him as Don Drapper from Mad Men.
We need more Marcelo Hernandez!
Jajajajajajaja el de Barcelona, pa partirse
The crew didn't need to make that head look so much like Mikey Day, but they did anyway...especially the mouth and the nose! (Also, these history skits with Bad Bunny and Marcello are always gold!)
👏👏👏
The hair and makeup team make casts of the cast members heads the moment they join. So molds can be made of their face like this one, but in a way that prosthetics, wigs and effects can be added to fit their specific face structure
Looks more like Kevin Bacon tbh
@dimap1977 So you're saying that Kevin Bacon looks like Mikey Day. Got it.
the only skit so far with more than one of the new cast members, as extras
- "Every word will be a boy or a girl"
- Germans: hold my beer
I remember those three artikels!
Der,Das,Die
Yes as a german learner I agree
So, like latin...😂
@ladisneyprincessebabe they dont stop at 3😭😭😂😂
I can't stop laughing yo
I'm crying people from Barcelona pronounce de "c" like an "s" it's the rest of us non-catalan spanish that pronounce BarZelona 😂
Los catalanes, no creo. Los españokes del norte sí
@LindaC616eso es exactamente lo que he dicho
In Catalan for sure, and for the name too, but in general, Barcelonan Spanish still does make the distinction between s and z/c, right? Like casa ≠ caza, siento ≠ cient
@reth2834 They make that distinction when they're speaking Spanish, yes. Their Spanish sounds the same as the standard Castillian Spanish.
Los andaluces y canarios tampoco cecean, ¿o sí?
We are so proud of you both. Benito y Marcelo. Greetings from Ecuador. Southamerica.
And let's add a billion ways to conjugate a verb.
the nap in the middle of the day was the best idea they ever had
I wanna send this to my old Spanish teacher so bad omg
This was actually pretty funny 🤣
Benicio Del Toro ... I adore him .... Thank God I m argentinian and my language is spanish .... everyone i met who needed to learn it , said it was a pain in the booty !
This bit could me made about most of the languages 😂 Except the nap thing
Duolingo and telenovelas are kicking my ass, so I felt this one down deep!
i love this skit but my literal only problem is that they had the opportunity to put the monastery of yuso (aka the birthplace of spanish) at 4:46 but instead went with the alcázar of toledo
Tell me you were raised by nuns without telling me you were raised by nuns❤😂🎉
I think you’re giving them too much credit. We’re lucky that’s even a Spanish monastery 😂
Yuso? San Millán de la Cogolla (La Rioja, the wine region in the north ...)
@kin2dovah It isn't, it's a medieval fortress (originally, it was used as such until 1936, now it's the Museum of the Armed Forces). At least it was the royal residence for some time at the end of the Middle Ages.
@migueljoserivera9030 well, my point exactly,thanks for the info btw
Marcelo is looking more and more like Kenan’s replacement when he leaves all the time. He just never, ever gets old, always makes me crack up and I want him in every sketch.
Maybe. What Kenan has over others is that he can change the expression on his face with a slight knowing smile or a sense of shock. Marcelo needs to play with his delivery a little. To me it is one note.
Amo cómo Barcelona escupe ajajajajajajaja
I will be showing this sketch to my Spanish students.
Will you actually teach them what Iberians are and what a lisp is?
@clairelovefield1690At the beginning of our course we go over the history of the language and we talk a little bit about those topics but only superficially. I only teach beginners Spanish and most students are not really into it. But more advanced classes or Spanish linguistics classes obviously do.
Please don't! They will learn nothing!
That really helps understand the spanish language better.
As a Spanish speaker: I liked this, very much. Very funny ❤ Also ditto to the naps
Es una mierda
I could watch this a million times. Love-love-love. Verdad.
3:38 what is Brad Pitt doing here?!
😂 Benicio and Brad are looking similar these days
PFT that’s not Brad Pitt
He wasn't there
@LillieA-r2othat’s the joke
He wins the Abu Dhabi GP ONCE & now he thinks he's Fernando Alonso.
1:52 made me choke on my own laughter.
They didn't even touch on the letter B and V
They are pronounced the same but some people believe they are not because of other languages influence. I recommend you the video of "Linguriosa" about the topic, she's a Spaniard linguist.
“Everything you wanna do, it say Nnnno” lmfao!!!!!!! I cannot!!!!!
3:20. Is that Neil Young?
Greetings from Spain.

Doesn't mañana mean tomorrow?
@Cassius3745 Yes, great observation! Mañana is tomorrow, but la mañana is the morning. 😂
@Cassius3745 Yes it does. 🙂
mañana=tomorrow 😂
@Cassius3745 yes it means tomorrow but it also means morning. Let me give you a great example to make it even more confusing: “mañana por la mañana” it means “tomorrow at morning” 😂
@Cassius3745 It also means Morning.
This duo I swear 🤣
As a portuguese I was expecting to laugh at the Spanish
But then they start the skit with the female and male words which is the exact same in PT so rather than laughable the skit became relatable
Cheers to nuestros hermanos
Qué pasa, hermano.
Same with Italian.
3:16 now we know why Barcelona always is trying to break away from Spain
Theyre Catalonian and they speak their own language which is more French based..
Enlighten me, because I don't get what you mean by that.
@darklight5838 The dude from Barcelona and the jokes they were making.. people from Barcelona speak their own language called Catalonian.. they speak Spanish but Catalan is the major language spoken there.. they have tried to separate from Spain for years to be their own country..
@lindsaykchambers is a different language with its own grammar..roman root as any roman rooted language. Spanish was forced started used by law since 1714.
I was joking because the way they didn’t like the way he spoke and dismissed him without regard
Fun historical fact:
The Spanish letter “Ñ” was invested because in the old times papyrus paper in Spain was very expensive, so instead of the nio/nia sound, they started using only one letter that could make them save space in paper like:
“Anio” (Año = year)
Ninio (Niño = boy)
Suenio (sueño = dream)
Italy, and France kept the original letters for the same sound, like:
Mignion 🇫🇷
Espagne 🇫🇷
No, it was not “anio” - it was “anno”. This correction also applies to your other examples.
Great history linguistic lesson
@tanizakithis can only mean that they missed the R with an ~ thing. Nn = ñ; Rr =~r
😮
Super fascinating!! I am learning Spanish and Italian so this gave me a lot of insight.
Muy bueno, ¡si señor!
Did anyone else notice Kenan coughing near the end when they talked about disease? 😂
0:35 I believe most of the world uses gendered nouns like: Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Arabic, German, etc. The fact English doesn’t makes it difficult to understand when learning the language, especially when talking about your cousin, coworker, boss, or friend.
Turkish and most other Asian languages don’t have any genders
It may be confusing for initial learners but we save so much brain power by not having to remember if our desk lamp or our shovel is a boy or a girl for absolutely no particular reason
It just cuts the necessary words to learn in half. It helps their isn’t many honorifics to learn in English either, besides something like Sir, Miss, Mister, or Ma’am.
Coming from the other direction I gotta say the most confusing thing is needing to learn so many specific words for specific things that are gendered like that when in English we usually just call someone by their name or use a generic respectful term.
Most African languages don't have gendered nouns but they do have noun classes e.g. humans/animals, plants and trees, inanimate objects made from nature, inanimate man-made objects, places(by virtue of distance) etc. Then the verbs themselves have to be conjugated according to the noun class but also include the 1st/2nd/3rd person in them and time. A single conjugated verb can be one word that tells you the subject, the object, the action, the time and the relationship between the subject and object. In comparison, English is very simple except for pronounciation. African languages are mostly phonetic.
We use zero brain power for this, we just know
making barcelona the lisp guy because in spanish is pronounced with the 'c' sound when in the language specific of our region is actually pronounced with the 's' sound has to be one of the best and worst things i have ever heard.
No one cares
@GUITARTIME2024 Sometimes people like to be educated and learn about particularities of the regions from other countries where they don't come from 😉
Yeah, that was the joke?
are you boasting you understood the joke?
@littlemissmello Which joke? 99% of people watching this skit dont know there is a language different than spanish in Barcelona, how could they get anything?
As a Spanish teacher, I should show this to my Spanish classes... 🤣🤣
