Ta Argentina there so taboo inthe wse of foul language. A respectable old woman ‘will swear like slor and no one bats an eye. Fools are not suffered lightly and anyone behaving ina pretentions ‘or obnoxious manner wil be sharply reprimanded, some. times with just a simple gesture ofthe hands. Political ‘omrectness doesnot exist i Agena because it would ily impede getting Your point across. Ifyou area litle ‘overweight your nickname mightbe ‘el Gordo, or ifyou have a dark complexion they might call you "Negro" ot if you happen to be of Polish descent, “el Polaco’. No ‘offense is intended, none is taken and thre is no false ‘morality to confuse the isucs. Is evident when Argen- {ines communicate with one another tha their freedom of speech’ rel. Althougs Argentines are extremely ati- ‘cand wil ot hesitate to tell you that their county has ‘he tallest mountains, the tastiost beef, the most beautiful ‘women, the finest wine and the best soccer players in {he word, they wil also be quick to point out thst their country isan by corrupt polittins ands fll of bullshit- ters and crooks. The uh is “which comnty isn? but Argentine in pariclarakways sem tobe just as aare ‘of thir own shortcomings as well as they ar of other's ‘This Keen sense of discemment i iustrated by the vast quantity of words used to accurately describe an idiot. &broggar,& liar, a scam or the quality of anything from personal charactcr to houschold appliances. The Argen- tines use these words with such fequency and passion ‘that the unsuspecting foreigner will eventually have 10 ‘ask “what is a “boludo’ and why can't I find it in my Spanish dictionary?” “The unique form of Spanish spoken in most of Argen- tina today is most accurately called Rio Platense. Rio Piatense is commonly identified by its use of the pro- ou “vos” instead of tr ested’ as Well as a sh ora Sof j sound when pronouncing lor y (eg. pollo-posho, yetba-sherba), Rio Patense is named forthe Rio Pata Which, as it drains into the Atlantic Osean, borders the province of Buenos Aires and defines the most popu- fated part of Argentina. Uruguay is located on the other side ofthe Rio Plata from Argentina and is lso home to Rio Platense Spanish. Although geographically a mas- sive eouniry with an incredibly diverse population, Rio Patense has had the strongest cultural and lingual influ fences in most of Argentina due sole tothe sheer number fof those who speak it. The majority ofthis population is descended fom the huge influx of immigrants that ar- ‘ved, from all parts of the world, tothe port of Buenos Ales inthe early 200 century. ‘The particular language ‘and slang that evolved inthe streets of Buenos Ales at this time is referred to as Lunfardo and is iret related to Tango music and culture, Lunfardo has its own vo- cabulary and wordplay such a syllable inversions (pizza ~ zap, cfe-fea) that some say originated as a way for folks to communicate beyond the understanding of the police and prison guards. Much Lunfardo reflects ie fof crime and could be why most Argentines appear to be sostrectwise when speaking their native tongue. Al- though a great deal of Lunfardo has found a permanent place inthe Argentine vocabulary, “Che Boludo!” is not 8 dictionary of Lunfardo but a comprehonsive guide to understanding the slang, expressions, gestures and Rio Platense Spanish that is used throughout most of Argen- tinn today. Everyone fiom the celebrated Tango singers {o the infamous gauchos tothe youth of today has made ‘their contibutons. Many words and expressions vary from province to province and person to person. To cov: ‘ertbemall would be impossible as language is constantty ‘erossing borders apd evolving through the generations. Inany case, itis important that this book is used wisely and you are among good fiends before you go spouting out its contents. Certain colloqualisms are only appro- priate in certain situations anda failure of good judgment could likely result in embarassing yourself or, worse yet, offending someone and promptly reosiving a trompada.“Vos” With the exception oF few other specific pars of CColembis, Bolivinand'Cenival Amerie, Rio latense is ‘unique in is use of the pronoun tvs" (you). Whether or not vas" comes from Portuguese *viee’ om Expatol ‘Yosotros or an antiquated form of addressing Someone ‘of the upkmast importance such 2 god or the King ts place in Rio Plotonse is accepted, by those who speak 4 as letinate Castellano. Tn Rio Platense, “vas” also has its own form of conjugation, The only differences between the convaion of Vos" ane “tu” are found in ths imple present tense and imperative form and are sumally only @ matter of an sccented sylable. If yoo speak using “Vos instead of tn or ‘usted, however, i is important that you recognize thase conjapations and tse thers accordingly. ‘The examples given are to lus- trae the cievences between conjugating "tu" and vos.
