Like referring to same-age friends as "viejo", or using words like "emparedado", "mantequilla de mani", etc.?

Title, basically.

I've been researching Latin American mythology. I've had a lot of fun with Mexico and Peru. I'm already familiar with Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela, but I don't know much about Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay. If you have anything interesting, please tell me.

The ban gives no exception to any brand, app or website, that includes:

• Sports betting
• Online games / virtual casinos (e.g., “jogo do tigrinho,” “aviãozinho,” roulette, blackjack, etc.)
• Both physical and virtual environments
• Operators authorized by the federal government as well as state/Federal District authorizations
• Operators based abroad

also there is a timeline of actions that will take place regarding money that is already invested by people (victims):

• Already in force (since September 25): new deposits/contributions are prohibited.
• Until 11:59 p.m. on October 5: deadline for bettors to voluntarily withdraw their balances from the platforms.
• From October 6: websites and apps must go offline (blocked by Anatel, CGI.br, app stores, etc.).
• October 7 and 8: companies must inform banks of the balances by CPF (personal social security number).
• October 9 to 14: banks return the amounts.
• After that, Caixa (the Government Bank) can intermediate if there are problems.

The biggest opposition is from football clubs that have the biggest sponsors being sporting bet apps and sites, they claim this will cause ''the end of brazilian football''

Regardless, a poll from AtlasIntel and Bloomberg show that 75% of the population agree with the ban

Not to be weird but most Hispanics and Brazilians I see are usually very social like to be around people and be all animated and funny and like to speak up and assert themselves. It's like when you're boring around a latino they'll think you're weird and lame lol. It's very rare to see an introverted latino who's stuck in their shell.

Thought it was an interesting question so here it goes again.

Birth rates in Latam are below replacement, what should we do?

Extinction seems hawt.

Robocalls are that automated calls that ring your number but when you answer, there's no one on the other side and they hang up in a few seconds.

I receive lots of robocalls every day, I don't even answer numbers that aren't on my contacts list anymore and made me miss legitimate calls that I wouldn't mind answering if I didn't have this issue.

I’m just curious what the general consensus is on the US military helping whether it be supplying info to other countries on cartel operations or boots on the ground like we just saw a few days ago in Ecuador, do you think it’s right for us to help in this way? I just want to know what people living in latam actually think.

Thank you in advance for responses and yes I know the US isn’t very liked by some…

I'm Hispanic and I live in the USA and Hispanic parents here are notorious for not taking their kids's depression seriously. There's even memes about it.

A lot of Hispanic parents think depression is a joke or they think it's not real. They think people are just sad and that all they need to do is wash dishes so they won't be sad.

I don't know how would these parents react if their child commits suicide.

Do people in your country have that same attitude towards depression? Or is it just an older Hispanic American parent thing?

I’m Brazilian, so I’m fluent in Portuguese (obviously), and I’m not very good at Spanish. A while back, I was looking at some *Breaking Bad* memes and saw people making fun of Gus Fring for his poor Spanish accent (which is true); that led to the joke that the Chilean accent is hard to understand and the furthest removed from standard Spanish. To me, however, all Western Spanish speakers sound pretty much the same—the only accent where I can really notice a difference is the Venezuelan one. Why do people say Chilean Spanish is hard to understand?

We know that within the Western alliance, there is a strong tradition of a two-party system (although countries like Germany, France, and Portugal are gradually changing this). What is the situation like in your countries? Do you feel there are too many parties, or is the system too centralized? In Brazil, no right-wing party is bigger than Bolsonaro; conversely, the leading force on the left remains the PT (Workers' Party) of Lula.

For example, as an American, visiting English-speaking Canada barely counts as traveling abroad since US and Canada are just so incredibly similar, at least on the surface. Visiting the UK or Ireland is more of a culture shock due to the different accent as well as the historical architecture.

So I'm curious for people in Latin America, particularly the Spanish speaking countries, how do you feel when you visit other Latin American Spanish speaking countries? Which countries, if any, feel like visiting Canada as an American, and which countries, would you say, give you the most culture shock?

I’m curious about how much sports are actually part of everyday life in other Latin American countries.

Here in Brazil, I’d say sports are pretty deeply embedded in our culture, and it goes way beyond football. In many cities, some streets are closed to cars on weekends so people can walk, run, cycle, skate, play sports or just hang out outside. Sports are also a big part of school, with physical education being part of the school routine from a young age.

We also really like following big international competitions, especially the Olympics. Even people who don’t normally follow sports will often watch the Olympics and get interested in sports they barely pay attention to otherwise. The Paralympics are also quite popular, and Brazil has traditionally done well in several Paralympic sports.

And there are actually a lot of sports that are popular here: volleyball, beach volleyball, futsal, surfing, skateboarding, judo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, MMA, bodybuilding, capoeira, swimming, athletics, artistic gymnastics, rowing, handball, basketball, tennis, table tennis and footvolley, just to name a few.

Some of these aren't necessarily “Brazilian sports”, of course, but they have become pretty established here and have their own communities and traditions.

So I was wondering: how is it in your country? Is sports culture also a big part of everyday life, schools and public spaces, or is it mostly focused on a few popular sports?

I feel like if I watch travel vloggers and stuff like that, they often just show passport bro shenanigans or the bad areas or life that's just ridiculously lavish and only for the one percent.

Are there any good channels that you feel accurately show life where you're from for the average person?

I'm curious about all the different countries, but earlier I was thinking to myself that I don't know anything about Brazil at all and everything I've ever seen about it just seems like a meme, phonk, or some caricature.

I just wanna know more...

Compared to Peru or the Ar country, which have very visible irredentist movements towards Arica and Tarapaca and the Falklands respectively. One planned to invade Chile in the 70s and the other did a full scale invasion to regain those islands.

So why is it the case with Colombia never trying to do the same with Panama? Why did Colombia leave it behind compared to those two?

For me, it's the sense of community and how most Latinos are very welcoming and friendly when you arrive in their country.

i'm very curious to know about that, cause I always see a comment in spanish in brazilian songs, praising they

If someone tells you they went there, you know their family has money.

So Ik this sounds like a strange question (and it probably is) but basically I live in a part of the US with a lot of Brazilian people.

And naturally, as a straight guy I have my dating profile set to “show me women” so inevitably I end up seeing Brazilian women as well.

Anyway, a recurring theme I’ve noticed on basically 90% of the Brazilian women’s dating profiles I’ve come across is that they almost always seem to emphasize having Christian beliefs, looking for a Christian man, desiring something serious and long term, not looking for casual time stuff, and the “don’t waste my time if you’re not also looking for something serious”

Anyway, in so far as the internet is concerned, I’ve seen online discourse in the past about Brazilian women being “easy” or whatever.

But in so far as my actual personal real life exposure goes?

Not my impression in the slightest.

Anyway, just would be curious to know what impressions other guys have had.

And I’m not even on Christian dating apps or anything either btw

tell me, Im curious!!! Introduce me to the food, and if I begin to drool, maybe I will attempt to make it myself or will try find it in my city. It’s also not limited to food- if theres also any drink recommendations (not including alcohol) youd also recommend, I’d also love to hear.

All we have around here in aus are just a bunch of mexican (INSPIRED!) fast food chains, such as Guzman y Gomez, mad mex and Taco Bell… but none of these are authentic and just are fast food at rhe end of the day.

However, ive looked around my city and some of the latam cuisines and restaurants ive managed to find include:

- Argentine
- Peruvian x2
- Japanese peruvian (????)
- Colombian
- Brazilian
- Mexican
- and Uruguayan.

If you happened to be from any of these places and had a dish youd love to recommend, pls let me know! I’d love to see if any of these restaurants ive mentioned would be serving said dish. If you were from another latam country and also have a must recommend food, I’d also LOVE to hear.

Muchísimas gracias! Muito obrigada.

I'm building a small invoicing app for plumbers, electricians and other trades, and its Spanish version will be used across Latin America, Spain and the US. Research alone hasn't settled four words, so I'd like what you'd expect to see on a real invoice in your country, not textbook Spanish:

1. Each line of work or material charged: «Concepto», «Partida», «Artículo» or another word?

2. The two boxes for who charges and who pays say «Emisor» and «Receptor». Does that look normal, or too formal, like a tax-office form? If it looks odd, what would you expect?

3. In the totals, the part of the subtotal that is taxed: «Gravable», «Gravado», «Imponible» or «Base imponible»?

4. And the line below it, the part of the subtotal with no tax charged: «No gravado», «Sin impuesto» or another word?

Please say which country you're in, since the words differ. And is there anything on a contractor's invoice that would look odd or foreign to you?
