How Do You Say That in Spanish?
Ever notice how Dominican Spanish, Southern Black English, and NYC slang have their own unique rhythm- but they are similar at the same time? I love exploring the similarities and differences in our lingüistic variety as multicultural people. Part of why I started Yaprendí was to create a space to share this appreciation for our uniqueness and help us see each other more fully. Examples: 🇩🇴 Dominican Spanish: “Qué lo qué, manín?” (What’s up, my guy?) 🏾 Southern Black English: “Whatchu got goin’ on?” (What are you up to?) 🏙️ NYC Black Culture: “What’s the vibes?” (What’s the mood?) Comment below- where are you from and what is something pretty unique to your culture that you don't hear a lot elsewhere? - respond in English or Spanish. ¿De dónde eres? ¿Qué es algo único que ustedes dicen en tu dialecto del español? - responde en inglés o en español.
