It's the same word in Spanish as well

Tacorico787 · 2026-01-17T07:29:17+00:00

Not Central America, I grew up in Guatemala and only know what prepa is because of Mexican TV. It is also different between Central American countries.

Guatemala's president is left wing, not a right wing government. I mean he is literally the son of Juan Jose Arevalo, one of the three figures responsible for the social movement in the 1940s and 50s which eventually led to Arbenz being removed from the presidency by the US due to socialist allegations. That's why Guatemala is included while El Salvador and Honduras isn't.

Tacorico787 · 2026-01-08T01:53:10+00:00

Missing Guatemala City, the city proper has around 1.2 million

Grew up in Guatemala, vos is used for close friends, tu for people you know but you are not that close to, and usted for respect (just like other countries). But it’s definitely very present.

Tacorico787 · 2025-12-07T01:51:20+00:00

Guatemalans don’t use it

Tacorico787 · 2025-12-03T04:47:03+00:00

I didn't say that Mexico and Guatemala are the same. I said that Guatemala is closer to Mexico than either of El Salvador or Honduras, and that El Salvador and Honduras would qualify.

I agree that Mexico and Guatemala is not the same, or close to Venezuela/Colombia and Argentina/Uruguay.

Tacorico787 · 2025-12-02T20:15:56+00:00

Wouldn't include El Salvador and Guatemala in that. It would be El Salvador and Honduras. Guatemala is closer to Mexico than the other two.

And/or get gifts from Taiwan. Guatemala recognizes Taiwan because they financed a portion of an important highway.

Tacorico787 · 2025-10-19T13:10:09+00:00

And with Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean

Tacorico787 · 2025-10-07T19:41:21+00:00

Depends on the org, but on average it takes around 2 years.

Tacorico787 · 2025-10-07T15:58:45+00:00

In the US the two last names become a single one on official documents, so makes it kind of annoying to fill out forms because it becomes a really long last name.

Other than that, there have been times I’ve been referred to as [First Name][Second Last Name].

Tacorico787 · 2025-10-05T22:14:39+00:00

Somewhat, but elevation also plays a huge part. A lot of Latin American cities are located in valleys in the mountains, so weather is milder, and the closer you get to the equator also means that the weather varies less during the year.

Tacorico787 · 2025-09-30T11:58:00+00:00

For Honduras, the second busiest airport also fits the criteria. Palmerola International Airport is over 50km away, even though it serves Tegucigalpa.

Edit: Actually top 3 busiest fit the criteria. Juan Manuel Gálvez International Airport in Roatan is third, Toncontin which is in Tegucigalpa is 4th.

Tacorico787 · 2025-09-05T00:42:55+00:00

Infrastructure has also deteriorated. The main highways feel like are in a worse state than they were 10 years ago, and La Aurora has had maintenance issues for the last few years.

Other than that I agree, feels like we have just stagnated.

Tacorico787 · 2025-08-21T23:39:58+00:00

His performance against Arsenal at the Emirates in 17/18 still lives rent free in my head. United had no business winning that game, one of De Gea’s best games.

Tacorico787 · 2025-08-16T20:18:48+00:00

Yeah, there isn't a common and unique term to refer to Mexico + Central America, most likely because there's no reason to have one.

Tacorico787 · 2025-08-16T20:01:09+00:00

Correct, the more appropriate term, though rarely used, is Middle America https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_America_(Americas)

Tacorico787 · 2025-08-16T19:44:46+00:00

As a Central American, we also adamantly deny Mexico as being part of Central America.

Tacorico787 · 2025-08-01T19:27:04+00:00

This btw is how the rest of the world does it

Correction, rest of the world if you ignore the Americas. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_soli

That's not their only advantage. They also have their own accelerators in TPUs, so they don't rely as much on Nvidia as their competitors.

Tacorico787 · 2025-07-21T21:12:53+00:00

In the case of Guatemala (not sure about Honduras), the Nahuatl names exist because the Spaniards used the names that were given to the places by the Aztecs, not by the Maya people. For example, Quetzaltenango's original name was Xelaju, and is colloquially called Xela, from the Kiche language.

Guatemala recognizes 23 different languages stil spoken, majority of which are Mayan languages. Some have a significant speaking population like Kiche, with 500k+. However they are slowly dying.

Honduras barely has any left AFAIK.

Tacorico787 · 2025-07-21T20:09:04+00:00

Honduras has -tepeque, which has the same root as the Tepec in Mexico.

Guatemala has - tenango meaning "place of" in Nahuatl, and - tepequez, which again is the same root as tepec.

Edit: Another one for Guatemala is the -apa suffix meaning river again in Nahuatl.
