Are Colombian Accents that Recognizable?
Just a question to our non colombian members, whether latino or otherwise.
When you guys are not in Colombia but you hear a colombian (paisa, rolo etc etc) on the street or at party or wherever, do you pick out the accent as being colombian right away? Are there colombian accents that you get mixed up with accents from other latin countries (i.e. costeño with cubano).
I just though about this because today a paisa friend and I were having lunch at a peruvian restaurant. The waiter gave us the menus, we exchanged greetings and when we asked what they had to drink he says "tenemos colombiana y manzana postobon". I thought that was funny, just based on a couple of sentences we spoke and he was already offering us colombian sodas eventhough the establishment is 100% peruano.

Man Tequila says on Nov 24, 2007, 15:57: I think sudmericanos are likely much more astute than gringos at picking up not only accents but regional variations in slang and word use. I could recognize Colombian slang and that would be more useful to me than the accent alone.

Lucas Freley says on Nov 24, 2007, 17:18: Yo puedo reconocer el acento paisa, por Andrea. Y me animaria a decir que en un 70 % a cualquier colombiano, porque he escuchado mucho a Usuriaga, Mondragon, Jairo Castillo, y todos los colombianos que jugaron y juegan en el futbol argentino, y aprendes a distinguir el acento. Pero a veces he confundido a venezolanos creyendolos colombianos y al reves. Y una vez hable con unos bogotanos, y pense que eran mexicanos. Tambien algunos colombianos hablan muy parecido a los ecuatorianos. Tengo un compañero en la Universidad que es ecuatoriano y él si distingue muy bien el acento de los colombianos. La otra noche volviamos de la Facultad (Universidad) y pasaron unos colombianos preguntandonos donde podiamos conseguir pollo a la broaster (o algo asi)...él enseguida me dijo...esos son costeños.

But I'm a norteamericano, and so it could be just woolyheadedness. Colombian friends often told me that they spoke the most crisply anunciated castellano the world over, and I believed them, cause all I know is the Spaniards I know truly have the "boca sucia."

I am amazed and humbled when she can hear a Colombian speak, and she says that they are from Medellin, or they are from the coast, or they are from the Bogota area. I do not posess that talent. However, I can hear somebody speak in English, and can tell her immediately where they are probably from. He lives in Minnesota or UP Mich, she is from Chicago, he is from Kentucky, those people are from England - but that guy sounds Scottish, etc. The only Spanish I can differentiate from others is a Puerto Rican / Cuban accent. I guess Mexican is generally easy to hear also. He who farts in church, sits in his own pew. 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

msaucey says on Nov 25, 2007, 15:34: Normally a Colombian accent is distinguishable if you know what you're listening for... For people that have no idea what a colombian accent sounds like, all they know is that it is spanish... But, to relate, I went to my Mexican Supermarket, and went up to the butcher.... and when I asked for my order, the butcher had a distinguishable Colombian accent... Paisa accent... I can easily distinguish the Argentinian spanish, from any other version... Colombian spanish is also distinct and clear.... Mexican spanish is regional and that can also be distinguished... I tend to mix the Guatemalan and Salvadorean spanish, but their facial features make it clearer.... Cuban's eat their c's and r's.... Puerto Ricans speak loud and with their hands, but also easy to distinguish....

Robert Jorge says on Nov 25, 2007, 23:23: From what I hear (read), the Argentinian accent is very easy to pick-up on if you are totally fluent in Spanish. I am not. And, I also have never been around Argentinians speaking Spanish. A met a few in Miami, but they all spoke perfect English. (I did talk to one in broken German) From what I understand, not only is the Argentinian accent unique, but they even have unique words that are used only in Argentina. I know all countries have unique words - but Argentinians seem to have almost a separate vocabulary. Is this due to the influence of having such a diverse population? Germans, Italians, Spanish, etc. He who farts in church, sits in his own pew. 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

Plato says on Nov 28, 2007, 05:15: O sea, el colombiano no puede presentarse con una arepa en la boca y un chorizo en la mano. Con sobrero, ruana, carriel, y machete. . . saludando Ea ‘ve Maria pues!!! Q’ubo pues hombe! A ver! Q’ubo con el guaro y sacan las guitarras! (Todo montañero pues!) The hottest places in hell are reserved for those [liberals] who, in time of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.--Dante Alighieri, (1265-1321) 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

kernow62 says on Nov 28, 2007, 08:41: I suppose I should become fluent before criticizing an accent, but how many people say the German accent sounds rough without speaking a word of German. I don't think it is a prerequisite. It is like listening to music, one can easily say I like that or not without understanding the lyrics. As Monpiri says though it is best to understand the words and their meaning to get the most out of it.

Colombiche says on Nov 28, 2007, 09:30: When I was in Santo Domingo my clients loved my accent. They said I spoke so clearly and properly and at a normal speed. I had a very hard time understanding them, even the president of the company spoke at a 100 miles per hour. No me den trago extranjero, que es caro y no sabe a bueno....

christobeldawg says on Nov 28, 2007, 21:45: I think if the most populat band, worldwide, of alltime, because of the way they sounded together, in their harmonies, was from Liverpool, that should say mucho about how nice is that natural accent. when ya add in the girls from there, particularly, I give it a paws up. I love it. admittedly, arriving can feel great too 0 funny, 0 helpful. |
