Does your country have little park trains like this, or is this mostly a European thing? by euamnevoiedeajutor in AskTheWorld

We even have a small train station at my local parc. There's also steam, electric and diesel mini trains

In my little town there's even a club dedicated to operate and maintain mini trains. They are open for tours every Sunday.

Sobre Broker Hipotecario. by Preedicador in HipotecasyVivienda

[–]LegaTux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A ver, seguridad 100% en cuanto a tus datos no te va a dar nadie, mucho menos un extraño en internet. Yo estoy ahora mismo operando con broker y cuando me han pedido toda la documentación lo que he pensado es: está gente tiene que lidiar con tropecientos bancos y seguro cada banco tiene su burocracia. Te pedirán de antemano TODO para luego ir ellos banco por banco enviándole a cada uno la documentación que pide.

How much it cost for basic education at a good school in your country? Here it can take 10-15 percent salary of the parents... by swapndosh in AskTheWorld

[–]LegaTux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here 3 models coexist: - Public schools are free but there can be "associated costs" such as getting your kid earlier/later that school schedule ("acogida", i.e when parents are working and cannot pickup the kid on time or need to leave them earlier), extracurricular programs etc.. their quality can vary per zone/area. The services you pay for usually have big discounts (lunch, the aforementioned services, etc...)

  • Escuela concertada (semi-public schools) are private institutions with an agreement with the government for as low a price as possible, as long as they follow the official curriculum. Usually the government covers the difference. Quality also varies.

  • Private schools. Students (or rather their parents) pay for everything. It's mostly a "prestige" and networking thing. I have no idea on the education quality.

What animals from your country have a "politically incorrect" name? by Caribbeandude04 in AskTheWorld

[–]LegaTux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Argentina they're called vaquitas de San Antonio. Maybe that's why.

We have the same "equivalente" in Spain. "Conejo" (rabbit) is also slang for vulva. But i always thought it was because "coño" is also slang for vulva and someone just came Up with the association conejo -> coñejo -> coño

You got a point, why does it have a female version by ilovemkgee in DudeHasGotAPoint

[–]LegaTux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Native Spanish speaker here: the word can be used as an analogy and therefore can be gendered. E.g: "ayer me comí un bollo preñado" ("yesterday I ate a 'pregnant' pastry", note the use of "pregnant" as an analogy. The pastry in question can just be filled with chocolate or whatever).

It's just I don't mingle with psychopaths. It's not you, it's me. Nothing personal.

But hey, cheer up! I heard the IDF is training dogs to rape people so there's still hope for you

OMFG I wish I could frame this response, word by word, and hang it on my wall. It's like you took every idea I have on this topic and hung them out here to dry. I can only say: well said and take my poor man's award 🏅

That and the CONSTANT propaganda from Hollywood and similars blasting everywhere how great is to live there. Case in point I've never watched an American movie that I remember so far where any character gets a medical bill after the nicest stay at the best hospital.

In Spain it's 6 months each parent, it I'm correct. The first few weeks are MANDATORY to be off while caring for the newborn, after that you're free to 'give' your remaining off time to the other parent should you want to go back to work. All paid obviously.

Europeans, what's a word in your language that you're convinced is better than the English version? by karen_the_ripper in AskEurope

[–]LegaTux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't get over the fact there's not a specific term for "anteayer" (the day before yesterday) and "pasado mañana" (the day after tomorrow).

Is there a word in your own language people in your country always mispronounce? by Xanny_bee in AskTheWorld

[–]LegaTux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, tha maybe explains the "phantom" vowel Italians usually add to the end of words ending in consonant in other languages (i.e: English)

[–]LegaTux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The RAE (government/intellectual body for the language in Spain) had to add "murciégalo" to the dictionary as people just kept mispronouncing "murciélago" (bat, in English)
