Argentina is amazing when you have dollars

I am Argentinean. I don't like to give kisses, and I don't give them. I manage to simply shake hands, which is not frowned upon. A person's attitude anticipates whether they will accept a kiss or not, and there are hardly any mistakes.

Also Argentinians speak a Neapolitan-Italian mixture in their Spanish since in the early 1900s the country was flooded with Italian immigrants and they in turn started combining some of the Italian words with their Spanish and in turn developed a unique and beautiful accent that is very Argentinian

"We always had water and electricity" was she expecting tho

I am an Indian and after watching this video I want to visit this amazing country

Expect the Southern Hemisphere to be hot in summer time... Just saying... Plus, the country stretches north from 55° latitude, so it can get pretty cold, frozen-over lakes and feet of snow in winter.... Just saying... It´s like going to New Mexico in July and claiming that the whole United States has a desert weather with over 100 degrees... How about Minnesota in February?

I have a buddy from work he is from Argentina. Him his lady and kid are all really nice people, his accent is awesome too. He definitely felt like a good friend from day 1. Moving to Florida from California has been really nice getting to meet people that come to America and are mainly on this side of the country. Anyways I'd love to visit Argentina someday and so how it is over there and meet more people.

"we always have water we always have electricity" with all the respect we are not africa. we are listening to a person its surprise she learnt to say "me gusta"--what could i expect....we normally learn the language of the country before we visit it

The “castellano”part on your video: it is just a preference to call the language that way from colonial times, instead of español. But it doesn’t have to do with dialect or accent. Meaning, that’s not the reason they speak that way. Chilean people also like to say that they speak “castellano” and they have a different dialect from Argentines. Uruguayan people prefer to call it Español and they speak with similar dialect and accent as Argentines. I’m not a linguist but my husband is and he knows about the southern cone. Oh, and I’m from Uruguay. I served in Chile.

It's not about Argentina, it's about a northerner coming to the South :)

[teriod]

Buenos Aires is so hot and humid in summer like new york or Atlanta

[FrannB]

This is how they speak:
Latin american spanish: Tu Eres
Argentinian Spanish/Castellian: Vos Sos

MUY BUENO QUE LINDO COMO HABLASTEIS DE ARGENTINA. VIVA ARGENTINA Y ESTA CHICA 🇦🇷

[celestebarrios]

When she said "25 de mayo" she's lovely

[micanoto]

We live in the same houses because we can't afford to buy new ones... Or make new ones now...

[fedeb]

You explained everything perfectly! I'm impressed! Saludos :)

[almostfriday]

Omg. 3 million people in buenos aires proper and 13 million metro. NO Real estate market. I don't buy that. Sounds like her first trip anywhere.

[chrisl]

Me gusto = I liked it
Me gusta = I like it

[Jdak]

All that food that you named her used to eat when I was a child that’s like Italian and German food and that’s score majority of the people are down there they’re Italian German and Spanish but God how I miss that food Americans don’t eat like that no more
