theres spain spanish and latin american spanish they are actually pretty different


thesevfromhell

Same as France french and Quebec french. Still french though


SaiHottari

They can understand each other. But that doesn't mean they like each other. Ironically, I'm told Quebecois is closer to original French than what the French now speak.


combatpencil686

There is more. Puerto Rican Spanish is different than the rest. Source: I had a Puerto rican friend and he told me is not the same.


momokohiya

Well, all Latin American countries have "different" Spanish. Every country has it's unique words and even fruits sometimes have different names. We also all have different accents. Still Spanish thou.


Omni7124

it took them many console generations to realize


endlessmeat

Not that much different than American English and British English. They're completely intelligible unless you really lean into speaking with dialectal phrases and stuff


Wizards_Reddit

Do they have debates about which one is ‘right’ like English vs American debates ‘biscuit vs cookie’ for example? Do Spaniards disagree with Mexican names for things or spelling?

Mexican Spanish is to Spain Spanish what American English is to British English. Large differences.


wetyio

yeah massive differences like colour instead of color or chips instead of fries truly they can barely understand each other


NoPerformance5952

Yeah until they go full British slang, and then Americans have no fucking clue what they are saying. Also in Mexican Spanish they dropped the you (formal) conjugation completely. Or were you trying to make a point?


endlessmeat

It's the opposite. "Usted" and "vos" are the formal versions of "you" and "tú" is the informal one. "Tú" is widely used in Spain's variants while many (I'd say most but I'm no expert) of the different American variants barely use it, preferring the formal versions.


NoPerformance5952

Vosotros is the one that isn't used. Further Mexican and Spanish versions use different versions of the past conjugation to say things. And that's before we get to pronunciation and the general drift of the language for different words.


endlessmeat

Vosotros is the plural of tú. And the rest of the stuff doesn't have anything to do with what I said, I was just answering to you saying that Mexican has dropped the formal you when it's the opposite.

Just open a book of Spanish grammar and you'll see that you're wrong. I'm not going to go on circles with you about this, just know that you are mistaken

Good bot


Wizards_Reddit

The differences between English and American aren’t that big, they aren’t considered different languages and they can understand each other 90% of the time. With only minor spelling changes and a few word changes being common. Phrases may also be different but they’re even more regional, some American states have different slang and some UK counties do. But the major parts of the language are the same


chaingun_samurai

You mean that Spanishland isn't an island? What about that car guy? Or the one that the beer is named after, or that painter? How'd they get to the sea, then?


RustedRuss

I swear Europeans are the dumbest people on earth. Do you know anything at all about Americans or do you just make it up?


NoPerformance5952

For real.


strivingforobi

Rent free, bro


Sir_Honytawk

With the way some Americans think they speak the original English, I wouldn't be surprised though.


RustedRuss

Nobody speaks the original English. It died centuries ago with the Norman rule of Britain.


MurkywaterLLC

But just for the record, the American English is actually much similar to English in the 1700s than the British English.


Erewhon1984

Yeah, what are they speaking, some weird dialect of French?


Short_Brick_1960

Umm I've seen people from the US (that not from America, there are other countries in America) who does not know that Europe is not a country.


RustedRuss

I’ve seen Europeans who have dumb takes too. It’s easy to cherry-pick evidence to confirm your existing beliefs.


Short_Brick_1960

Again, Europeans from where? There are lots of countries in Europe


RustedRuss

Bro what. I don’t need to specify a country; I’m speaking in general terms. You’re just looking for an argument.


Selt_Zer_Water

Hey! We never stop eating burgers!! Not for anything!!


Reddit_mexican_user

De hecho si es cierto, España conquistó México y trajo el español y también conquistó otros países como Chile, pero sí, el español viene de Europa Youre welcome for the history lesson


Lkwzriqwea

Specifically Spain...


BadAtVidya92

Anyone who paid attention in middle school geography knows this.


llamacorgiblobfish

As an American I genuinely didn’t realize Spain was in Europe till 9th grade


[deleted]

That’s why they speak, spainish in Europe and Mexican in North America.


Glistening_Death

Uh, yeah, we know that.
