Question

What's the difference between Rioplatense Spanish and European Castellano? ?

Hello! Anybody would like to say something about "Rioplatense Spanish" that is spoken by Argentines in Buenos Aires? Does it sound softer and nicer than "European Castellano" ? Are there any Hispanics who's always been lingering around here? Thank you very much!

Answer 1

I'm spanish and I understand perfectly when an argentinean speaks. So, there're mutually intelligible.

Answer 2

"Differences between dialects of Spanish are numerous; about 9,000 Rioplatense words are not used or, in many cases, even understood elsewhere. These include many terms from the basic vocabulary, such as words for fruits, garments, foodstuffs, car parts, etc., as well as local slang."

"The vocabularies of both varieties are further diverging as Rioplatense Spanish tends to borrow (or calque) technical words from American English, while Peninsular Spanish tends to borrow or calque them from British English or French."

"Words from Guarani, Quechua and others were incorporated into the local form of Spanish,"

"Rioplatense Spanish distinguishes itself from other dialects of Spanish by the pronunciation of certain consonants."

Answer 3

I'm a Spaniard and understand Porteños perfectly. Sometimes they have annoying uses for words that for us are completely normal, like "coger" (it means "to take" here in Spain, but "to F*ck" there in Argentina and Uruguay).

Know the difference...for example, to say "It's you who doesn't know anything about cars" we use "eres tú el que no sabe nada de coches" whereas they would say "sos vos el que no sabe nada de autos".

This difference doesn't exist in most sentences and both dialects are mutually intelligible without problems.
