Do you address your strippers in the tu form or in the usted form?

If you are going to be fucking her I would assume you get to the tu form. But do you ever us the usted form, even just for effect, like when first speaking to a street hooker?

When I speak to a very, very pretty girl, I say "you" because she is my dear

I was told in school, by a very conservative and old fashioned teacher that use of the tu form is rather rare. Most of the time people use usted.

This guy may not be have been consistent with current use. And actually, here they say that Mexican-American's who visit Mexico are usually speaking in a very old form, so that they sound stilted.

amazon.com

The working girls don't mind, but it does raise questions for them about what it must be like in the United States that these guys have gotten so far out of touch.

But when speaking to a street girl, I would think hands off and at a normal speaking distance, that some would initially use the usted form, if just for effect or to show respect.

Thanks,

I know that ordinary people don't really speak like what is taught in school. If one speaks as taught in school it does sound stilted, like it does in these videos.

I know one man who was learning Spanish and speaking to our San Jose locals, and he found that when he used some of the more complex tenses, and used them correctly, it did elicit a very positive reaction.

Truthfully, it probably depends on the girl. Most won't really give a mierda. One girl I was hanging out with at HK & Cascadas playfully teased me for being formal with everyone. She laughed when I addressed the hotel staff as senor and suggested I say amigo. Usually when a HK mesero or limo driver recognizes me, they call me amigo. The people down there are very friendly and helpful for the most part. Just be careful on the streets, alleyways, etc., especially after dark. I've heard about pickpockets targeting drunk tourists stumbling around la zona and even some shady cops shaking down drunk guys for bribes.

Creo que la gente de TJ es informal. Realmente no sé cómo la gente usa a español en situaciones comunes en otros lugares. Lo que me enseñaron en la escuela es probablemente fuera de fecha. Los videos de instrucción de lenguaje también son probablemente demasiado formales. A veces alguien con capacidades de lenguaje limitadas hace una buena impresión si uno es demasiado formal. No bebo, y hasta que sé mucho más sobre el lugar no será fuera de casa después del anochecer. Estaré bien en la cama con un amorcito, o hacia atrás a través de la frontera. Si me acabe el tiempo y estoy sola, dirigiremos para la barra de HONG KONG, como sé que funciona alrededor del reloj. Voy pensando en toda la noche. Pero no se va después de prostitutas calle después del anochecer.

-->"¿Vos, es eso Portugués o francés o argot tal vez?"

It's classical Spanish. It's not used today in Spain, where it's considered archaic, nor in most Carribean dialects, and not used in Mexico -- or, in other words, it's unlikely you would have learned it in Spanish class, nor heard it being used conversationally in the most common dialects you hear in this country. However, all educated Spanish speakers tend to understand it, since it's used in classical poems and the like.

However, in many central and south American countries, vos is still used conversationally, often more than tu. And I understand the younger generations are adopting vos more, not less.

I don't know how to conjugate it (although the conjugation is easier than tu, less irregular verbs), so I tend to use it like, "Como esta?" "Bien bien, y vos?", so I don't have to conjugate. But I've looked up the conjugations before and they are very easy.

BTW, vos is not slang -- it is classical, correct Spanish, it's just fallen out of favor in Spain, where it's associated more with the 1800s and earlier, I believe. But, as a formal part of the language, it's got its own conjugations, just like tu, usted, etc. Maybe to Spanish ears it sounds more like "thee", although the comparison breaks down because no English speakers use "thee" anymore, whereas vos has been kept alive south of Mexico...

I find this thread very interesting, even though my Spanish is pretty poor. SJG, your Spanish is phenomenal!

I've read enough about Spanish pronouns to know that 'vos' is the archaic 2nd-person plural pronoun, comparable to 'Ihr' in German (in which I'm fluent). 'Vos' is seldom used in Spain any more but is very widespread in Latin America, especially in the far south (Argentina and Uruguay) and in Central America. It's also found in pockets scattered around Colombia, Venezuela, Chile, Bolivia, and Paraguay. Oddly, depending on the area, some Latin Americans use 'vos' with the 'tu' verb endings . . . and some use 'tu' with the 'vos' verb endings!

My SC Spanish is largely limited to phrases such as:
?Quieres bailar para mi?
!Tus chichis son maravillosas!
!Quiero chupar tus pezones!
(Yes, I've said all of those things to Latina strippers!)

I don't know how to enter those upside down exclamation and question marks here. Advice is requested from those who know.

When I was in high school, I took German because 2 of my grand parents were German speaking and my mother only spoke German at home for the first 19 years of her life. What a mistake that was but back then, where I lived in California, Spanish was not that prevalent.

Ni portugués ni francés parecen usar "vos".

"
Another thing is that the second-person pronouns used to be "tú" and "vos". Tú was used in addressing a close friend, and vos in all other cases, including addressing more than one friend. Usted, ustedes, and vosotros are more modern. The conjugations used with vos were the same as those used with vosotros today. The use of vos died out in Spain in the 1700s, but it survives today in the language of some parts of Latin America, especially Argentina, often but not always with slightly different conjugation patterns, and always as an informal singular pronoun, replacing tú. And of course vosotros is a descendant of vos, but as a informal plural pronoun only.

Sí, encaja con lo que Subra y Deuce están diciendo.

Quiero chupar tus pezones = I want to suck your nipples

Creo que hacer un esfuerzo para ser más formal, especialmente cuando se comienza a salir, hará una buena impresión.

study-spanish-language.com

"
Not so well known is the major grammatical difference, the use of vos instead of the far more common tú as the second-person familiar subjective pronoun. Although vos is heard elsewhere as an alternative to tú, or among certain groups of people, in Argentina it basically replaces tú in everyday speech among people of all classes and education levels.

Skibum, Teníamos un profesor muy estricto y muy conservador de América del Sur en la escuela secundaria. Dijo que deberías usar 'usted', y que para usar 'tu' tuviera que ser marido y mujer.

Pero sus ideas tal vez demasiado anticuadas. Y entonces no estaba hablando de situaciones de prosituciones. Allí una clase de relación cercana puede formar inmediatamente. Pero todavía quiero ser capaz de empezar de forma más formal, utilizando 'usted'.

Con muchos vecinos mexicanos que he tenido, no leen ni en español ni en inglés. Especialmente cierto para las mujeres. Pero en las grandes ciudades de México sus tasas de alfabetización superan a las de los Estados Unidos. Todavía no sé si en la Zona de Tijuana las niñas trabajadoras hablarán en el tipo de español que se usa en libros o no.

Habló con una pareja mexicana de mediana edad hoy, después de haber emigrado a los EE.UU. hace un par de generaciones. Habían vivido en el este de Texas.

Insisten en que en los lugares rurales nada habrá cambiado. La forma en que la gente habla será como lo que aprendí en la escuela hace décadas. En particular, los niños deben dirigirse siempre a sus padres usando 'usted'.

Creo que eso es lo que viene a ser de todos modos, en cuanto a lo formal que debe ser en la gente se dirige.

En las grandes ciudades, y especialmente en las fronteras, las cosas habrán cambiado y habrá mucho inglés mezclado.

Por supuesto no les mencioné mi interés en el TJ Zona.

No les conté los relatos escritos de muchachas que trabajan en Guyams, quienes insisten en que cuando los mexicanos regresen, que su uso del español es muy anticuado.

Ellos saben acerca de 'vos', y están de acuerdo en que es arcaico. No saben cómo se habla la gente en Argentina. Pero están de acuerdo en que se entenderá, y que si uno lo usa para el efecto, entonces es una especie de argot.

También están de acuerdo en que para alguien que sólo tiene un uso limitado de la lengua que siempre hará una buena impresión para tratar de ser formal y correcta.

Que Cascadas Hotel realmente suena como un paraíso en la tierra. Usted puede comprobar y luego encontrar a sus chicas en cualquiera de los dos clubes de strip, o luego fuera de la calle en frente o el callejón detrás.

Regular Verbs

The characteristic of these kind of verbs is that they have root (raíz o lexema); and this root doesn't change when we conjugate these verbs in different times.
We can learn this in the table below:
•Hablar (to speak)
Let see this verb has the root "habl" and the termination "ar"

•Aprender (to learn)
Let see this verb has the root "aprend" and the termination "er"

•Escribir (to write)
Let see this verb has the root "escrib" and the termination "ir"

Now we see the conjugation of these verbs:

English Spanish English Spanish
I speak Yo hablo We speak Nosotros hablamos
You speak Tú hablas You speak Ustedes hablan
He/She speaks Él/Ella habla They speak Ellos/Ellas hablan
He is speaking Él está hablando They are speaking Ellos están hablando

I learn Yo aprendo We learn Nosotros aprendemos
You learn Tú aprendes You learn Ustedes aprenden
He/She learns Él/Ella aprende They learn Ellos/Ellas aprenden
I learned Yo aprendó We learned Nosotros aprendimos

I write Yo escribo We write Nosotros escribimos
You write Tu escribes You write Ustedes escriben
He/She writes Él/Ella escribe They write Ellos/Ellas escriben
You will write Tu escribirás You will write Ustedes escribirán

One thing I never thought I would see on TUSCL is Spanish pronouns and verb conjugations! SJG, I am sincerely bewildered as to why you post so much random stuff on a discussion board about strip clubs. Are you a teacher at heart? Are you bored out of your gourd? I like languages as much as anyone does, and found the discussion of tu / usted / vos in reference to addressing strippers both interesting and somewhat relevant to the subject of this board, but this deluge of Spanish grammar has me puzzled.

Definition: In Spanish, nouns are either masculine or feminine, each of one with its own article. Nouns that end in "-a" are almost always feminine, on the other hand, nouns that end in "-o" are almost always masculine.

Spanish articles are located before nouns in order to indicate the gender, the number and its grammatical function. The article are either masculine, these genders have their own articles. There are some rules in order to know the gender of a noun, such as:

Articles in Spanish

English Spanish
Feminine Masculine Neuter
Singular the la el lo
Plural the las los -

Nota: •If the nouns end in the vowel "a" or "as", they are almost always feminine.
• If the nouns end in the vowel “o” or “os”, they are almost always masculine.
To compound the plural form of a noun with a plural article we follow these rules:
•Vowel ending, we add “s” after the noun and the article.
Example:

The apple.
The apples.

La manzana. Las manzanas.
•Consonant ending, we add “es” after the noun and “s” after the article.

Example:

The song.
The songs.

La canción. Las canciones.

Note: The exact definition of a Spanish article is: A word that signals a noun. The most common articles are: "El, La, Un, Una, Lo, Los, Las, Unos and Unas", and these articles are classified in Definite articles and Indefinite articles.

Examples:
•The book is big.
•El libro es grande.

•The apple is very sweet
•La manzana es muy dulce.

•A book of Math.
•Un libro de Matemática.

•A woman very smart.
•Una mujer muy inteligente.

•The children of this school.
•Los niños de esta escuela.

•The girls will study at university.
•Las chicas estudiarán en la universidad.

•Some things are very hard.
•Unas cosas son muy complicadas.

•Some boys of this class play basketball.
•Unos chicos de esta clase juegan baloncesto.

•The best of you is your sincerity.
•Lo mejor de ti es tu sinceridad.

Note: We use "Lo" to signal abstract nouns like feeling, unreal things or when we don't know the gender of the noun, this article is called: neutral article, because it doesn't signal if the noun is masculine or feminine.

Example:
•The downside of this world.
•Lo malo de este mundo.

•The good of life.
•Lo bueno de la vida.

Classification for Gender

In Spanish the nouns are divided in masculine, feminine and neutral, as we know for masculine gender you use the article "el" and "los" and for feminine gender you use the article "la" and "las" and finally for neutral gender you use the article "lo".
•Feminine Gender
Nouns that refer to female beings or that end in -a are usually feminine. Some nouns ending in -a, -dad, -tad, -tud, -ión, -umbre, and -ie are generally feminine.

Examples in Spanish:
◦the city = la ciudad
◦the will = la voluntad
◦the virtue = la virtud
◦the girl = la chica

Note: Exist cases in where the noun have masculine gender and also end in -a.
◦the climate = el clima

•Masculine Gender
Nouns that refer to male beings or that end in -o, -or and -e, -aje, an, ema, oma, uma are generally masculine and also the days of the week, the colors, the numbers, the names of rivers, lakes and seas.

Examples in Spanish:
◦the boy = el chico
◦the male cat = el gato

por y para

spanish.about.com

The problem is that two Spanish prepositions, por and para, frequently are used for the English word "for." (There are other words that can fit the bill, but we won't concern ourselves with them now because they don't seem to be the cause of so much confusion.) The differences between them sometimes are subtle.

If I use a phrase such as "three for a dollar" in English, the "for" has a different meaning than it does in "this book is for you." In the first case, "for" indicates an exchange or a rate, while in the second case it indicates an intention or direction.

Uses for por:

Expressing movement along, through, around, by or about: Anduve por las calles de Gijón. I walked through the streets of Gijón.

Denoting a time or duration when something occurs. Viajamos por tres semanas. We're traveling for three weeks.

Expressing the cause (not the purpose) of an action: Me caí por la nieve. I fell down because of the snow.

Uses for para:

Meaning for the purpose of or in order to: Para bailar la bamba, necesita una poca de gracia. In order to dance the bamba you need a little grace.

With a noun or pronoun as object, meaning for the benefit of or directed to: Es para usted. It's for you.

Meaning to or in the direction of when referring to a specific place: Voy para Europa. I'm heading to Europe.

Meaning by or for when referring to a specific time: Necesito el regalo para mañana. I need the gift for tomorrow. Vamos a la casa de mi madre para el fin de semana. We're going to my mother's for the weekend.

I realize now that I do carry a deep unhealed Latina wound, from many decades ago.

And then I have gotten along very well with many of the soft core Latina strippers at our local clubs. But I was not free to pursue them. So the wound continues to fester.

Me doy cuenta ahora que llevo una Latina unhealed profunda de la herida, desde hace muchas décadas.

Y luego he conseguido a lo largo muy bien con muchos de la base suave strippers latinas en nuestros clubes locales. Pero no estaba libre perseguirlos. Por lo que la herida sigue supurando.

chicas o niñas?

spanishdict.com

Niña is a girl who hasn't reach her puberty. Muchacha is a general term for teenagers or young women, perhaps under 25-30 and not married. Chica is a form of personal treatment for young ladies too. Here some examples:

Mi hija aún es una niña, tiene 12 años. (My daughter is still a girl, she is 12)
A algunas muchachas les gusta jugar futbol. (Some girls like to play football/soccer [whatever])
Muchacha, ¿dónde estabas? (Hey, girl. Where were you')
Ella es mi chica (She is my girl)

Bonito, is equivalent to pretty, nice or cute, but it's not suitable to refer to a man. A man can be handsome (guapo, apuesto), but not 'bonito'.

Qué sombrero tan bonito (What a nice hat!)

Difference between "guapa" and "bonita"

spanishdict.com

Guapo (m) or Guapa (f) means good-looking, while bonito (m) or bonita (f) means pretty. So that's basically it.

Welcome to the forum Cas, unfortunately I am not a Spanish native but I hear "guapa "used quite often in our group discussions by the natives and I'm sure they are not necessarily in the "hot" category. More a term of endearment. Personally I am called "guapo" many times and I certainly don't fit the hot category. Hopefully some of the members from Spain will see this but it is late there right now so keep checking you post.

Guapo and Guapa are use for persons, but bonita can be applied to many things.

to say somone is "hot" you say "calente!" same as English

In Madrid, you see people, even senior citizens, greeting each other on the street and exclaiming, "Qué guapa/o!" I think it translates to mean, "You look maaaarvelous!

"If I use a phrase such as "three for a dollar" in English, the "for" has a different meaning than it does in "this book is for you." In the first case, "for" indicates an exchange or a rate, while in the second case it indicates an intention or direction."

Thus the Spanish translation of the two phrases are different, "tres por un dólar" and "este libro es para ti."

Uses for por:

Denoting a time or duration when something occurs. Viajamos por tres semanas. We're traveling for three weeks.

Expressing the cause (not the purpose) of an action: Me caí por la nieve. I fell down because of the snow.

Meaning per: Dos por ciento. Two percent.

Meaning supporting or in favor of: Trabajamos por derechos humanos. We work for human rights.

Introducing the agent of an action after a passive verb: Fue escrito por Bob Woodward. It was written by Bob Woodward.

Indicating means of transportation: Viajaré por avión. I will travel by plane.

Used in numerous expressions: Por ejemplo. For example. Por favor. Please.

Uses for para:

Meaning for the purpose of or in order to: Para bailar la bamba, necesita una poca de gracia. In order to dance the bamba you need a little grace.

With a noun or pronoun as object, meaning for the benefit of or directed to: Es para usted. It's for you.

Meaning to or in the direction of when referring to a specific place: Voy para Europa. I'm heading to Europe.

Meaning by or for when referring to a specific time: Necesito el regalo para mañana. I need the gift for tomorrow. Vamos a la casa de mi madre para el fin de semana. We're going to my mother's for the weekend.
