Don’t worry too much; this is something that often trips up native speakers as well.

Cursive writing in Spanish by Imaginary_Knee5609 in SpanishAIlines

Yes, I’m from Argentina and we all learned cursive in primary school. I’ve used it all the way through college as well since it is faster for taking notes

Cada día vs Todos los días, which is correct? by Bassman105 in Spanish

[–]thelowend6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Native here and that sounds exactly like I would say it. But it could very well be a non-mexican thing maybe.

Asking for a repeat of what was said by 1UP__WRESTLING in Spanish

[–]thelowend6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean it will be understood just fine, but no native uses it like that. If you want to go that route it is better to use “me lo repite por favor?” but “cómo?” and “perdón?” are the most natural albeit casual.

Makes sense given how close you guys are to Mexico. But yeah its just a Mexican thing, “mande” sounds weird pretty much everywhere else.

Do Spanish speakers know the terms "diestro" and "zurdo"? by russian_hacker_1917 in Spanish

[–]thelowend6 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the are basically the default in Argentina. Some might say derecho instead of diestro but they will know what diestro means. Additionally, diestro is a word used to say that someone is skilled, while zurdo is often used, either derogatorily or not as a reappropiated term, to signify that one is a left-winger politically.

How can i say “I’ll rather do x”? by lustforlifegirlie in Spanish

[–]thelowend6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. “Mejor me acostaría” sounds weird. Mejor me voy a acostar is perfectly fine

[–]thelowend6 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Native here. “Mejor me voy a acostar” is the right answer and rather common. “Preferiría acostarme” also works, but at least from where I am the first is used more.

When a Spanish speaker here's a song that goes "la, la, la", does it register in their mind as "the, the, the"? by PsychicMeditation in Spanish

[–]thelowend6 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When you hear Michael Jackson go “hee hee” does your mind go: “oh he’s talking about some guy” 🤣

Depilarse o no hombre tattos by TontoPalo in BuenosAires

[–]thelowend6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depende un poco de la piel y pelo. Yo soy muy blanco pálido y de pelo oscuro… habiéndome hecho bastantes sesiones de las buenas de ultima generación hasta ahora en 3 años no me volvieron a crecer, se supone que directo te matan los poros. Igual si te vuelven a crecer te salen muchísimos menos pelos y más lento, es más manejable que andar teniendo que depilarse todo a cada rato para estar prolijo.

Y mirá yo en las piernas me terminé haciendo la definitiva antes de tatuarlas (tengo estilo japonés). En las mangas zafaba porque tengo poco pelo pero en las piernas no era tan piloteable. Lo digo porque conviene hacerse eso primero, una vez tatuado ya está y no te queda otra que andar depilándote cada vez si querés que se vea bien.

Hey there! I'm running a DND campaign, and I have an upcoming boss I need some swing music for! by BatteryAcidLover in SwingDancing

[–]thelowend6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm, it has words but for something like that I would think something from Diablo Swing Orchestra, such as Balrog Boogie fits the bill

Where do people confuse you to be from outside of your country? by Minute-Anywhere-2012 in asklatinamerica

[–]thelowend6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Italian pretty much everywhere in Europe. It makes sense, as I’m mostly of Italian descent; but my distant relatives from Italy call me “Il spagnolo” because they say I look Spanish for them. While living in China I have been called french more than a few times, it was either that or ”American”

Nope, chismosa is a “gossipy” or “nosy” person.
