Salma Hayek Prefers Cursing in Spanish

[dannyoneil]

is true, in spanish you can invent you own curse word.

[hzhz]

Cursing in Spanish is so satisfying and it's so interesting because the curse words are different in nearly every Spanish speaking country.

[mappingoutthesky]

She is right. I can't curse in English. It's not strong enough.

[mathandsciencereboot]

"They're longer and have more time to let all the anger out". That was very perceptive. She is one intelligent woman.

[vestspet]

I don't blame her. Even in Spanish, profanity still sounds sexy.

[Jojotaro]

The spanish it's more complex and complete than the english. In spanish, we have a word for everything.

[miklas-djkd]

I prefer to talk Spanish to my partner when I'm having sex. Unfortunately, I don't know any Spanish, but fortunately I don't have a sex partner, so it's all good.

[zoestark]

As a Greek, I feel that the English curse words are not strong at all! I can speak very little Spanish and the first thing I did, after learning the basic things was, of course to learn how to curse! And Spanish curse words are definitely stronger than the English ones!

[DonutMaple]

Lol I love her passion when she explains how delicious cursing in Spanish is 😆😆

[christianduval]

"Look the Mexicans are laughing" 😂😂😂 I LOVE YOU PEERRRAA

[shuculele]

Oh yeah...Spanish curse words are delicious!!! They become from the soul hahahaha

[EmperorConnor]

Was she referring to the word "Cabron"?

“Salma Hayek prefers to curse in Spanish”

Me: well of course who doesn’t?

[Lenysea]

Best curse words are in Russian :D, but I am bias. Regardless of how many languages we speak, we curse in the native language.

[abelsincain]

The expression "está cabrón" is used for many purposes, it's used to describe someone who is awesome as well as to describe someone who is scum or just a difficult situation. The single word (cabrón) can be a familiar name between friends or an insult between enemies. Very useful.

[PhantomLex]

I'm sure she prefers to cry in Spanish too.

[Lilpapito]

0:49 “You have more time to explode the anger, it’s fantastic!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[lizykizde]

Su inglés es realmente...lindo :') conserva su acento mexicano hace que suene bien en inglés...es súper linda

[shaiska]

she is right, no matter what language I speak for me I can express my self better when I curse in spanish, I can speak duch, english and my dialect but everytime I get angry the spanish curses just fly out my mouth, despite being able to speak all this languages my mother's language allways win in the cursing department lol.

[slowmotion]
