Andrea: Hey, uh so one of my lightbulbs blew out. Can you come over and change it?
Okay cool thanks, I'll see you in a bit.
Ismael: Mexican Man! Handy service to your rescue!
Where's the lightbulb that need repair?
Ismael: You want me to put energy efficient bulbs?
Or you want to stay with these CFL's?
The CFL's focos?
Andrea: What's foco?
Ismael: Foco, it's lightbulb.
Andrea: We say bombilla.
Ismael: Bombilla? What's a bombilla?
Never heard of that before.
Ismael: That was a skit, if you didn't know what that was.
Andrea: Hey everyone, I have Ismael back and if
you paid attention to our little impromptu skit
you'll notice we say words quite differently.
So today we wanted to go through some words.
And show you his Spanish which is Mexican Spanish.
And my Spanish which is Cuban and Puerto Rican.
And we're going to compare how we say words.
(silence)
I have little flash cards that are drawn by him.
I: You can't prove that.
A: You're the artist!
I: Can't prove that, anyways.
A: The first word we have is lightbulb.
I: Hey go ahead, cover my face!
A: So what is lightbulb in Spanish?
I: In my Spanish, lightbulb is foco.
Like we said earlier, foco.
A: For us it's bombilla.
But we say foco too it's just for the light in a car.
I: I know I've heard it before but um,
I don't know most commonly we use foco.
I never questioned it.
A: Do you use foco for like cars?
I: Anything bulb like, bulb related like flashlights.
A: I think bombilla fits better because it's like
bom, the cap of it!
I: Bom!
A: Bom bom. Like bidi-
I: Bidi bidi bom bom.
A: Yeah there you go.
A: The next word we have is uh socks.
(both laugh)
A: So I say for socks, I say medias.
I: We say calcetines.
And we say that too but that's like a proper word for socks.
I: Excuse me, we're always proper.
A: Oh so fancy!
A: But then you said...what did you say for medias?
I: Medias for us are stockings.
A: We just...medias are everything.
I: Medias you're half way.
You're always half way.
I: You know what I'm saying?
A: What?
I: You're half way. Half way not proper, half way proper.
(Andrea clicks tongue)
A: The next word we have is pacifier.
(both laugh)
A: So call pacifier uh-
I: Vin Disel!
(Silence)
A: Yeah.
A: So I say for pacifier bobo.
And we say bobo because babies look pretty dumb
when they have this in their mouth.
And bobo means like dumb or stupid.
I: We call it chupón.
As in the act of sucking.
Because you're sucking that shit.
A: Oh god.
A: The next card which is my favorite card
because it looks like the doll from Lilo & Stitch.
It's the word doll.
So I say for doll muñeca.
And that's the only word I use.
I: Sometimes we use that but sometimes we say mono.
A: Mono's monkey!
Mono is the word for monkey.
But why do you use it for a doll?
I: Because mono for us could be a doll...I don't know
I don't question it.
A: That's what I don't get, when I was at his family's house
they were talking about dolls and they said mono
and then my brain got super confused
because I was like-
I: Yeah like this guy.
A: (yells) I knew you were going to segway him in!
I: For us monkey is chango.
A: Yeah I don't use that word at all.
I didn't know about that word until they said that.
I: Chango.
A: Chango sounds like a drink.
A: Like the te-
I: Champorado? That's racist!
Or Tejuino?
A: Tejuino yeah!
I: (emphasizing the word) Tejuino!
A: (emphasizing the word) Tejuino!
I: That's the nectar of the gods by the way.
A: It is disgusting.
I: It's yummy!
I: Google it, google it google it.
A: This is Ismael's favorite doll.
It's not a doll, it's an action figure.
A: Our camera died so we went to the movies.
And now we're back.
I: The truth is you just entered the twilight zone.
A: Or that.
A: We're going to continue with some words!
Our next word is straw!
So I use the word sorbete for straw.
And that my mom just told me
because it like means you're drinking from a drink.
I: We call it Eric esSTRAWda.
I: Not really.
A: What!? What do you call it!?
I: We call it popote.
A: (whispers) popote.
Why?
I: It comes from the indigenous langue of Nahuatl.
I guess it means paja which is hay.
So I guess they used hay to-
A: Well like-
I: suck on them
(silence)
glasses of water.
A: I mean we use paja too but not often.
But we don't use popote.
(knock on the door)
A: Yes?
(Noel who's at the door) Is Ismael here?
A: Yes.
Noel: Can he move his truck?
I: Fuck that shit!
A: We'll be right back!
A: We're back once again.
But we're coming back now with the most controversial
word in the Spanish language.
Lime.
I say lime, lima. And I say lemon, límon.
I: Let me tell you how we say it.
The green one, the yellow one it's límon.
Now if you're getting into the sweet and the sour, we call the sweet one lima.
End of discussion.
A: See it's opposite. Green ones a limas.
I: We don't care.
If it's sour, límon. If it's sweet, lima.
A: And apparently this is like a big discussion with everybody that speaks Spanish.
Some people say it the way I say it and others say the way he says it.
And it's like no one can settle this argument.
And now we're at our last word and it's
my favorite word to say.
And it's for shaved ice.
So New York Puerto Ricans, it's a very Puerto Rican thing.
We have for shaved ice, we call it piragua.
And the musical In The Heights has it's own song
all about it.
I: Raspado!
(Ismael makes a honking noise)
I think they're coming.
We should get some!
A: I like piragua better because it's just nice.
I don't know why we say it like that.
It's the same shit that they make.
I: I know why.
A: Why?
I: Because they're pirates.
Pirata, piragua.
So pirates use to...
A: Puerto Ricans aren't pirates.
(Ismael mimics the shaving ice sound)
I: Use the shaved ice and throw it at their enemies across the boats.
A: Where did you find that? What history book did you find that in?
I: You do research? I thought you just made shit up!
Right guys?
A: That's it, that's all I have for you.
That's all we have for you.
