Hola, muy interesante, pero como mexicano me gustaría ayudarte con unas pequeñas precisiones: en español suéter es un anglicismo de sweater, por lo tanto lo correcto sería sudadera. Hay una diferencia entre medias y pantimedias. En zapatos englobaste calzado de mujer y de hombre, cuando tratándose de mujeres se llaman zapatillas. La palabra jeans aquí no es muy utilizada, se usa pantalón de mezclilla. En ropa interior hay dos palabras para tus imágenes: truzas y calzoncillos. Espero te sea útil
That's a wonderful question... a lot of times in Spanish, the 'present tense' can be used for both "someone/something does" and "someone/something is doing" something.
In this case, your sentence could mean both of the options you said. I think especially with the verb "llevar" it's common to hear it in the present tense for both meanings.
Apart from what agusamadeus said.. you say "camiseta" when you are talking about the t-shirt that the (soccer/basketball/baseball.. any sport) players..
if you are talking about a t-shirt.. is more common to listen "remera" here..
In Colombia the words you used would mean this: Sueter: Saco (sweater) La sudadera = Sweat shirt + pants (whole outfit). Chaqueta = Coat Pantalones cortos = shorts/bermudas (in the north) Medias = Socks (we never say calcetines) Pantyhose would be = Medias veladas Sandalias = same Las chanclas = same Heels = Tacones Really, when it comes to clothing, every region is totally different :)
Here in Spain there are many differents ways to say the name of the clothes. For example, in my zone we say ''Jersey'' to the ''suéter'', or ''vaqueros'' to the ''jeans'', or ''chaquetón'' to the ''abrigo'', or ''deportivos'' to the ''tenis'', or ''bañador'' to the ''traje de baño''- Finally the ''ropa interior'' is ''calzoncillos'' (boxers) for men, and ''bragas'' (panties) or ''tanga'' (G-string) for women
@borjamapra Thanks for posting your information. I was intrigued to see "calzoncillos" boxers for men. (would that also apply to briefer mens underpants?) . But, how to say "calzoncillos" in Mexican Spanish? Is it spelt the same but pronounced differently or is it also spelt differently. (spelt = spelled) . Just wondering. Hope it is not too difficult an inquiry. Cheers. from, . del-boy.
this is really helppfulll. i'm a college student and whenever i have test i watch these videos.and after i feel i get almost everythingggg .. U r the Besttt teacherrrrrr
me gusta que enseñe un español mas standard, y recordarles a los mexicanos que postean aca, que no toda la gente que aprende español tiene que aprender el que hablan ustedes. asi que me importa un comino como le digan a las cosas en su pais, aqui queremos un español standard!
Hola Senor Jordan. I have finished your basic conversation videos, which finished at La Familia if I am understanding things correctly. I started with video number one of the next course - La Ropa. Unlike the last course through, it isn't clear to me which order I should do this course in - am I doing something wrong? Thanks and I love your videos!
Sorry. I haven't officially created an order for them after the family video. But if you look at the playlists on my profile, there is an order for them as I have uploaded them. Sorry for the confusion.
Hey man! what a great teacher! u speak better than natives! hahah how can i get ur courses! I mean, I am mexican but I speak French, English and Chinese and looking for teach spanish like u... Do u sell ur tools?
¡Nooooo! "Chanclas! no es sólo una palabra mexicana, sino que también se utiliza en España: "chanclas" o "chanquletas", Lo que no utilizamos nunca es lo de "los tenis" (en una zapatería duda que supieran qué ofrecerte) y, como ya te han dicho, empleamos mucho más "tejanos" o "vaqueros" que no "jeans", Si oímos "jeans" entendemos que la persona es sudamericana. Lo haces genial. ;) Saludos.
De nada.. pero..¡uy!¡¡¡¡ me acabo de dar cuenta de que escribí una barbaridad!!!!! Son CHANCLETAS o chanclas y no "chanquletas". ¿Dónde tendría yo la cabeza? ¡¡Sorry!!
jejej te pareces a tiziano ferro brohter,,,,el imbecil que dice que las chicas mexicanas son bigotonas exepto salma Hayec,, saludos brother, te felizito buen material, muy buen maestro,
Question: For los tenis, My teacher told me that in order to say that word, She said to use "Los zapatos del tenis". Is Los tenis a short way to say that?

The 'masculinity' or 'femininity' of words has nothing to do with if men or women use them.
