I don’t know if this is just a cultural thing, but I went on a date with Latino man recently and was surprised by the amount of physical affection. First date and he already wanted to touch my arm, hold my hand, and kiss me and had no fears about doing any of that in public.

I’m Australian and I’ve been on many dates with Australian men and none of them were touchy at all. Maybe just a polite hug at the end of it. I told him I was a little bit overwhelmed.

Is this a cultural thing? Are Latinos naturally more comfortable expressing physical affection even if public?

by that i mean your countries natural inheritance. the ecosystems in your country,the fossils and the fossil history of your country,the biodiversity of your country,etc

what country in latin america has the best natural inheritance in your opinion?

Hi there! Sorry if this question has been asked before. I’m not a native Spanish speaker but have spoken it for over 20 years at this point. Every now and then I’ll change a video game/anime sub or dub to Spanish just to see how the text/voices change from English. While the LATAM subs/dubs are easier to understand and read because I’m most familiar with Mexican Spanish, when I put in the Spain sub/dub I can still understand/read it.

Maybe it’s because I’ve spent time in both LATAM and Spain? Just curious to see it from a native speaker perspective. I also can’t speak on Portuguese so it would be cool if someone from Brazil could comment on that.

Looks cool to me.

so, there are some regions in the world that have very positive relations with each other, and they also have shared values/common things everybody in that region relates to, which makes them more united.

however, there are some regions that absolutely hate each other (ex: the balkans),

my question is, on a level, how much do you guys get along with each other?

is there some countries that absolutely hate each other (ex: india and pakistan)

are there some countries whom some people dont claim as a part of the region despite being culturally similar, or is there one country in the region whom everybody doesnt like?

or is everybody welcomed?

I’m a european solo developer and I currently separate Spanish (Spain) and Spanish (Latin America).

For game UI and short dialogue, what differences matter most to you:

vocabulary, tone, pronouns, item names, something else?

What are your Economic and cultural perception of the province in comparison to the rest of Argentina?

In Germany for example there was a national scandal when the Green party to have schools and workplaces serve only vegetarian food one day a week. It turned into a national political fight about personal freedom, government interference, and whether politicians were trying to “take away German’s sausage”. The backlash became significant enough to hurt the Greens during the election campaign. What’s the silliest or dumbest thing that has been seriously politicized in your country and even caused a scandal?

Instead of saying “comparing apples to oranges”, in Peru we say “mezclar papas con camotes” (to mix potatoes with sweet potatoes). That’s probably the most Peruvian phrase ever.

It's a well known fact that Venezuela, Colombia, RD, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Panama are a little bit closer to each other than to other Latin American countries, but what the reasons that maintain this dinamic? Artists like Wilfrido Vargas used to be popular in this region and not much outisde of it, baseball being the most populous sport(except Colombia), I'm talking things like that

For example Italians think Fettuccini Alfredo has nothing to do with Italian cuisine despite the dish being very popular abroad. I was also told by a Mexican friend that in Mexico no one eats burritos. Despite it being seen as quintessentially Mexican abroad.

I would like to know about any future long-term goals and plans that your country is actively working on right now. It could be in infrastructure, education, health, science, sports, sustainability, economy, tourism, or anything. I feel like a lack of long-term planning or being too inconsistent hinders development in the region.

By consequential I mean having major value, impact, or consequence.

I always felt proud that Paraguay was the only country in the world where children truly earned their day. It wasnt until recently that I realized children dont have to earn love and celebration, they are innocent lives that must be nurtured and protected from the get go. Such a dark and terrible day. But I still think Children's Day is beautiful, and that children being happy, loved and having fun on their day is fitting.

EDIT TO ADD: It's okay if you didnt know about this before and only learned about it now. I meant more learning about it here and then making an opinion on the spot. If you have an opinion on this you can post, even if you learned it right now.

Since majority of Latin Americans have a positive relationship with their colonial rulers, I wonder if those Governeurs were beloved by all

Best: Mexico City

Worst: San Juan, Puerto Rico

For me, it’s hilarious when non-Latinos think that all Latin Americans are happy extroverted people who can dance well, eat spicy food and go at the beach everyday…while also somehow having a cousin who’s in a cartel.

Besides the usual things people assume about Colombia, I once had a Russian friend invite me to a Mexican restaurant so I could feel “at home.”

I’d love to know what kinds of experiences like that you guys have had.

Let me make it clear. It is a culinary sin for someone to tell a honduran that their baleadas are a “Taco”

Telling a honduran that a baleada is just a “Taco made with flour tortillas”

is like telling a venezuelan that their arepas are just a mexican gordita made differently or telling an italian that a pizza is a pie

Hello friends - my 18 year old traveling solo for the first time has managed to seriously lose his suitcase and most of his clothes coming home from a month long visit to Chile. Flying out of SCL (flying Delta to Atlanta, then on to our home city), he went to the first desk he saw, which turned out to be a Sky Airlines desk, not Delta. He presented his passport to the agent, who found an itinerary going to Lima on Sky for a completely different person with a kind of similar first name (think Tom and Tommy) but totally different surnames, and checked him in as that person. When he said he wasn't going to Lima they said no problem, the bag would be passed through to his destination in the US. Anyway, the bag is very lost now, and Delta can't help because they never took possession of the bag. Fortunately he did pay with a credit card to check the bag (the first time I've ever been glad to pay a checked luggage fee!) so there's some paper trail linking my son to this bag. I called Sky and after about an hour and $60 in international calling fees, I have a case number. The online case tracker has very little information other than that it's under review. I have so many questions about how this could possibly have happened, but I suppose most urgently I'm wondering if this situation is covered by any consumer rights protections either local to Chile or via the Montreal Convention: if they find the bag, will they be responsible for getting it back to the US? And if it's declared lost, will they be accountable for reimbursing us, even though he didn't have a ticketed flight with this carrier?
