[amborin]

aid to children whose parents risk being deported. WTF! How about not deporting the parents!

and how about not sending children back to violence!?

1. Haven't heard that in a long time.

Couldn't agree more.

[bettyellen]

4. Mentidosa? When did anyone hear that, LOL. It isn't a Spanish word. Jeeze people.

[onecaliberal]

5. My long deceased Spanish grandmother said it.

Sorry if my comment bothers you, I haven't heard it since she passed, haven't ever heard anyone else use it.

[bettyellen]

6. Nope. You are probably thinking of another well known word, sorry.

[dana_b]

17. mentirosa?

that's the one I used to hear.

[azmom]

2. I personally can't stomach that ad knowing

She said to send the children back. Over 80 refugees that were sent back were killed.

Note. You misspelled Mentirosa

[bettyellen]

3. La Mentidosa? That is not Spanish. Wow, you really have your ear to the ground, huh?

[VulgarPoet]

9. Nah, OP just made the mistake of phonetic spelling.

Born and raised in El Paso, you'd be surprised how many Army folks did that.

[bettyellen]

10. can't hear the "R" I guess. I figured it was a cut and paste from another person....

who does not know Spanish well.

[VulgarPoet]

14. The problem is most spanish speakers do pronounce the "R" sound with a "D" sound

Think it has something to do with rolled R's in spanish.

EDIT: At least in El Paso, I don't have much experience with other communities.

[bettyellen]

16. I can't say about the South West, but not at all true up here in NYC. The R is definitely pronounced

It's also a famous song lyric and the R is there.

[VulgarPoet]

19. There's a song? Huh, I need to look that up

Suppose I should have expected a concentration in NYC though; although that is news to me. I've not been yet, on my list of to-do's.

[bettyellen]

24. Yeah I remember it playing on the radio over and over again. I think I learned more Spanish from

WADO radio than I did from school or my coworkers.

[lunamagica]

27. No way. I've never heard anyone pronounce "R" as a "D". In Spanish each has

a distinctive sound

[KingFlorez]

11. That was quite an error

When one is trying to post tough in another language, they can at least get the spelling right.

[bettyellen]

12. especially since it is such a common word, have never heard a D instead of R when anyone from

the dozen or so latino communities I have worked with used it- frequently. the R was always pretty strong. It's not phonetic, it is ignorance of the language.

[lunamagica]

28. I'm from that community. I've never, ever heard a "R" pronunced "D". Well, maybe

A toddler learning to talk would do it...but not anyone else

[bettyellen]

31. Maybe if you hab a bad cold!! Tks for confirming my suspicion. Someone not even SSL is spreading

this. It is what it is.

[oasis]

7. Promises. Promises. Promises.

That reminds me of another candidate.

[VulgarPoet]

8. You're looking for "mentirosa".

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

13. Kindly Abuela = false advertising

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. We had that exact conversation here at home

she lied to that kid. There is nothing she can do at present to change that deportation order. NOTHING, Not one bit.

And it turned my stomach. The fact that she is willing to make that an add will not play well, because people who have contact with La Migra know better. And some of their family members do vote.

[Live and Learn]

18. Of course, what kid wouldn't sell their parents for a few bucks? nt

[Beacool]

20. Primero aprende a escribir antes de criticar.

O pensas que aca no hay nadie que sepa leer en español?

A todo esto, la palabra es "mentirosa", no "mentidosa".

[nadinbrzezinski]

22. And she still lied to that kid

and that alone is despicable.

Y si hablo español. Y lo escribo tambien. Esto dice mas acerca de ti, y la politica que tu apoyas

[azmom]

26. The word is "piensas"

So take your own advice.

[lunamagica]

29. Actualy, Central Americans, Argentinians, Uruguayans and others say "pensas"

As in "Vos pensas", instead of "Tu piensas"

[azmom]

30. Do you have a link.

[lunamagica]

32. Link? Of usages of "Pensas"? Here are a few

http://santelmoloft.com/2008/06/02/vos-vs-tu-a-los-pedos/ (sorry for the vulgarity in the title)

Conjugating with Vos

It would be much easier if all one had to do to speak Castellano were change the tú to vos. But as luck would have it, the verbs are also different. For example, in most Spanish-speaking countries to ask where a person is from you would say “¿De donde eres tu?” In Castellano it’s “¿De donde sos vos?” Notice that the two verbs–eres and sos–are completely different.

There aren’t too many verbs that change so drastically. In most cases, it’s the accent and maybe a missing vowel that accounts for the difference between tú verb forms and vos verb forms. Actually, the vos verb forms are easier. Drop the final -r on the verb, add an -s, and put the accent on the final syllable. Simple.

Verb Vos Tú

ser (to be) vos sos tú eres

estar (to be) vos estás tú estás

tener (to have) vos tenés tú tienes

querer (to want) vos querés tú quieres

venir (to come) vos venís tú vienes

decir (to say) vos decís tú dices

pensar (to think) vos pensás tú piensas

[azmom]

33. I see, but look at the whole post. If it is not in spanish,

Then there are more grammatical errors.

[lunamagica]

34. I'm sorry, I'm not understanding. If it is not Spanish? It is Spanish, all of it

Castellano and Spanish are the same thing.

[Beacool]

36. There are variations of Spanish.

Argentines don't call it "español", they call it "castellano" because the "vos" is old Castilian. The only ones who I have heard used the "vos", aside from Argentines, are people from Uruguay (it used to be part of Argentina) and the region of Antioquia in Colombia. If you're familiar with the singer Juanes, he uses the "vos" too.

By using the familiar "vos" instead of "tu", verbs are not conjugated the same.

For example:

Tu piensas - Vos pensas

Tu quieres - Vos queres

Spanish is not as simple as some people deem it to be.

[Beacool]

35. That just shows your ignorance, not mine.

I learned Spanish in Argentina, they don't use the "piensas" because they use the "vos" instead of the "tu". I went to high school in Buenos Aires and I'm equally fluent in both languages.

[sadoldgirl]

21. Interesting. If an OP cannot be contradicted,

complain about a spelling error.

[nadinbrzezinski]

23. They do that to me regularly

so I just smile.

[bettyellen]

25. Well it it the central point of the OP- a supposed meme it would seem no one knew how to say...
