Anyone here from guatemala?

Question

What do the phrases "chueche tenango" and "bienvinidos al ratir" mean?

I know the last one means welcome to something.But I can't find ratir in any dictionary.

Also do most guatemalans living in Guatemala City speak another language other than spanish?

Answer 1

Sweetie beat me to the answer, but she exactly right. As for Guatemalans speaking other languages, I believe there are 21 different languages in Guatemala.

Answer 4

I am from Guatemala and I will answer to your questions in order:

It is Huehuetenango..... Huehuetenango is a state of the country, but here we call the states as "departamentos" but it is the same.

"Bienvenidos al"  means welcome to

When you say ratir.... maybe there is a misspelled word or a mayan language of the place you arrived.

Many of us living in Guatemala City, speak another language as second: such as English, French, German and other people coming from other cities (departamentos) speak their mayan language too, but most speak Spanish.
