Do you think people who speak spanish to each other have more of a hard time understandg each other than engl?

Do you think people in mexico or people who speak spanish and speak spanish to other people have more of a hard time understanding each other than people who speak english like people in america when people who speak english talk to each other.


Sometimes I might say something in spanish like it seems like it might rain today . Perece que va a llover. sometimes when i say that sometimes some people who speak spanish might say como? Que? I might say it again. Como? Que?


It seems like it might rain today. Perece que va a llover. Ah si. Si tal ves.


I a couple times before i have noticed that people who speak spanish say something i think i know what they might be saying but sometimes somebody they are talking to is like what? and they say it again.


Do you think people who speak spanish though have more of a hard time understanding each other. Do you think their language is just more complicated or hard to understand than english sometimes.

Bored Huh......? Me too Goodnight
Reply:Not at all. Imagine, there are different words, phrases and meanings in every Spanish speaking country and Spanish speakers somehow, can understand that. E.G. pineapple can be said in Spanish: piña, ananás. Papaya: lechosa, papaya, melón de árbol, fruta bomba. Spanish is a language with lots of words but Spanish speakers can understand one another. I guess it is because you´re not used to Spanish yet and maybe that people you talked to, just don´t speak and understand English fluently.
Reply:I thin they can understand each other just as well as you can understand another English speaker, because it is their native language and they have mastered it from childhood.





They might not understand YOU because you have a thick accent, the same way you have trouble understanding a foreigner who is learning English.
Reply:i think they are just like us like if they dont hear the person correctly they just say huh? or wat? like we do but in a different way of course. Spanish is there culture and I don't think it should be any harder for them to communticate then it is us but then I could be wrong as I am not mexican nor do I speak spanish.
Reply:It may be the accent more than the language, like putting a southern english speaker with a northern one.
Reply:In my case Mexicans always speak double meaning, if you told me Parece que va ha llover, I would answer: el cielo se está nublando, parece que va ha llover, ay mamá me estoy mojando.


Which means the sky is getting cloudy, it looks like its going to rain, oh mama I´m getting wet. Looses in the translation huh.


We always joke around plus the accents have alot to do with it, for example if you speak with a Texan they have a lot of words that I do not understand first time round. Im fixin to go, hi yall, kiss my grits etc. etc. even in New York they offer you a cuup uv cuafeee. I bet you get confused if you spoke to a person from England. It scares me when I speak to a person from Spain because they say Mexicans messed up the language that we do not pronounce the words correctly. But that is my point of view. Take care,
Reply:Not at all. If the person modulates correctly and speak loud enough, there should not be any problem understanding


each other.


And for that matter no other language should be different.
Reply:Maybe they don't understand your Gringo accent?
