TOP 20 SPANISH FOOD WORDS

[sexypotterhead]

they dont tell you the 'la' or 'las' before the noun which is annoying

[esaudio]

@sexypotterhead because it is wrong to add EL or LA before the word. Just go to any dictionary and you will see they do NOT put EL or LA.Also if you say that... "fruit" is "la fruta", a natural assumption would be to say that "that fruit" should be "esa la fruta". That is plainly WRONG. It is "Esa fruta". Why? Because "fruit" is "fruta", NOT "la fruta". You need to learn the rules of the language rather than add words just because. I hope it helps.

the original productions of your videos are really great but the encoding is terrible. The videos have been compressed so much that the voice is muffled and the picture is blurry.

Hey, I am learning Spanish and would like some one from spain to talk to improve my language. Plz inbox me. Gracías

[katjon49]

just thought I'd add my bit about "include the article or not with vocabulary": having taught Spanish for a very long time, I still agree w/my prof who told us to ALWAYS include the article so we know if it's a fem. or masc. word! Because the English speaking mind has no grid in place to accommodate gender, knowing the gender helps a lot. I also am very clear that el, los, la & las ALL MEAN "the" in English, and there are fairly clear guidelines as to when to use "the" or not.

[esaudio]

@katjon49 The problem is that if they teach you that "table" is "la mesa", then the natural answer if you want to say "that table" is "esa la mesa" with is completely wrong. Actually check with a dictionary and you will see that the articles are not mentioned when you look up a word. If you want to be proficient in the language, you need to know how to use them, not add extra words. My grain of sand. THanks for your comments.

[MelonCandyTwixx]

Corn isnt a vegetable.. its a grain XD

[723jasmine]

@MelonCandyTwixx FYI corn is a veggie and a grain so its both ok and sub me

[longshanks0971]

stupid complicated languages!! :@ I'd rather learn latin which derivates in five other languages!

[esaudio]

@longshanks0971 Good luck speaking Latin! :)

[longshanks0971]

@esaudio thank you. XD

[AxierNigromante]

@longshanks0971 only five? I think there are a few more

[PoshPartyESP]

@longshanks0971 funny cuz Latin well nobody has spoken latin since Alexander of the greeks was around HAHAHA 

[koklor9]

how about icecream? my Spain-Spanish teacher says heladio, my Mexican friends say nuevo. my spelling might be off btw lol

[misteryrx55]

@koklor9

It's spelled Nieve You were close and Helado and Nieve are the pretty much the same thing.

[darkgema]

@koklor9 I'd say helado means icecream and nieve means snow, not sure if in some places both are considered the same.

[sandybran]

@darkgema you can say helado o nieve but in north mexico we say nieve ..... I want icecream - quiero nieve ....

[DDmewmew]

La pronunciación de cereal no es SEREAL, JODER! Es CEREAL! -- THEREAL

XDDDD

[esaudio]

@DDmewmew Only in Spain, which accounts for a small percentage of the Spanish speaking world, 10% at best. This video shows the Spanish that is spoken in most of the world.

[raficsulejmanovic]

how to say "you making me hungry"

[mrsillyisbean]

is this mexican spanish or mainland spanish because

i thought that FOOD was ALIMENTO and that COMIDO means EATEN

[GameShowGuy]

@mrsillyisbean "Comido" and "comida" do mean "eaten", but "comida" also means "food". So does "alimento".

[darkgema]

@mrsillyisbean

It depends if comida ends with A or O because comido is past tense, meaning eaten and comida or alimento means food. It kind of reminds me of house and casa both are basically the same.

[CascadaaXx]

I've always been taught "candy" as "dulces".

[esaudio]

@CascadaaXx Well, like in everything, there are always different ways to say the same. "Dulces" is a great word to refer to "candy" as well.

[darkgema]

@esaudio which would u say is closest to candy, dulces or caramelo? I ask cuz I see dulces as ''sweets''

[gmasfe]

@darkgema I'm spanish from Barcelona, and you're right, Candy is Caramelo (type of sweet) , and Sweets is Dulces or Golosinas (more generic).

[akumie]

haha the girl at the beginning of the video sounds like she is from catalan

[WBolognesi]

Podrias mencion los artigos tambien.. ejemplo: la carne, el agua, la leche... sometimes we need it...

[esaudio]

Hi,

I intentionally omit them as it is a mistake to translate for example food as la comida. That depends on the context:

Example:

I love food. Me gusta la comida.

I need to buy food: Tengo que comprar comida NOT la comida.

For that reason, the student needs to learn when to place the article and when not to. It is context and exposure to the language what gives you that. Just adding articles per se creates more harm than good in the long run.

Thanks for your comments,

Julio

[noelJE1998]

yes i heard la comida then you say just comida so this example helps. also i am learning spanish much beter now.

in my school we cant take spanish tell next year and half the kids now speak spanish so i wante to be ble to comprendo and comunicate with them so i no what there saying and i think it would be nicew to no two languges.

[esaudio]

Great to hear that! I love that passion to learn a new language! Keep up the great work! Happy Spanish learning!

Julio

[ka7hy]

Al final dijo "SOMETIMES we need it", y creo que con eso se refiere al hecho de que saber si una palabra pertenece a femenino o masculino le va a permitir no errar en un futuro, como ellos suelen hacer con ciertas palabras: (el) foto, (la) planeta, (el) canción y otras que no se me vienen a la mente ahora. Creo que, entendiendo que recién son principiantes, sería buena idea que -no sin dejar de indicar que es sólo de referencia- pusieras el artículo entre paréntesis.

[emiliatovic]

articulos gañan

[esaudio]

Coincido. Gracias por comentar.

[wtfdouno]

@WBolognesi I have taught Spanish (high school and junior high) 20+ years now and I agree with esaudio that teaching the definite articles with the nouns is a huge mistake... most books include them and then kids think that they are part of the word and say/write sentences such as, "Tengo un el coche" or "necesito un el boli" and no wonder! - They have seen the el/la with every noun they learned!

[fall4ever16]

OHHHHH! Spanish is like tagalog, Well Spanish peeps colonize philippines for 300 years so maybe tagalog words , is from spanish language. I mean the spanish has the origin of it.

[oswaldocamp]

esta mal la pronunciacion de vegetale-verduras

[esaudio]

Hola Oswaldo:

La pronunciación es correcta. Consulta un diccionario de fonética y verás que es así.

Gracias por tu comentario.

[Carcass88Gore]

[jimpodgenie]

thanks for posting. food is a very important part of the Spanish culture.

[magic4ever09]

Hola teine mas porque 2 meses pasado yo vive en espana para dos anos. Pero yo quiero sabes mucho mas espanol

 muchas gracias :)

[Stellairisel]

Very nice video. Just wanted to mention that in Spain we say 'z' and 'c' like the English sound 'th', as in 'thanks'.

E.g. the word 'cereal' would be in Latin America: 'sereal' and in Spain: 'thereal'.

[ilikeporsche959s]

Does it depend on where you go? I want to go to Spain to become fluent, i am probably intermediate but i dont want to pick up the "th" no offense.... i heard south in Andalucia they dont say "th"

[co23ghttoe]

yea, if u go to southern spain, u'll hear a more similar spanish accent to the Latin America =3 as u go to the north, ull hear the "th", but dun go to the north east if what u want is spanish lol! xD cuz here u'll find lot of catalan and catalan influenced accent ^^;;;
