594875 Lynx : Galician accent has nothing to do with Andalusian's
594876 Lynx : very different

594901 Lynx : pero que me contás? cheeee
594902 BillMcneal : when i was a kid no one used "haber" in buenos aires, i have a couple of fringe theories explaining why it made a return, but it was really uncommon, and uruguayans used it
594903 PauLa : <<<<acostumbro a hablar neutro
594904 PauLa : give us an exemple
594905 BillMcneal : "creo que he hecho un buen trabajo" <- i'd absolutely never say this, ever

594907 BillMcneal : ha! see? but now we do, too
594908 Lynx : you say "creo que hice" ?
594912 Lynx : en Canarias tampoco suelen usar haber
594914 Lynx : it's curious :)
594915 BillMcneal : i think people started using it because football players started using it, when they tried to sound "serious", you know, talking after a match
594916 PauLa : presente perfecto
594917 BillMcneal : "hemos jugado bien" <- dude come on

594920 Lynx : yo suele usarlo mucho el presente perfecto
594921 BillMcneal : hah why?
594922 Lynx : suelo*
594923 BillMcneal : reasonably so, you're andaluz
594924 PauLa : because he hablado de esa manera
594925 Lynx : yo digo: coged el taxi
594926 BillMcneal : it's ok to use it, i'm not saying it isn't haha but we stopped doing it somewhere in the 70s, and it made a comeback somewhere in the early 2000s
594927 PauLa : nosotros no lo decimos
594928 Lynx : otro dicen: cojan el taxi
594929 Lynx : ah es verdad, coger es otra allí jaja
594930 BillMcneal : hey don't some people even say "coger el taxi"?

594932 BillMcneal : i remember some arguments here about this
594933 BillMcneal : using the infinitive for commands
594934 PauLa : hmm jaja
594935 Lynx : prestar el dinero/ prestad el dinero
594936 PauLa : presta, presten
594938 BillMcneal : i suppose there were many andaluces here, it's easier to lose a D than an R, hence "prestá"
594939 Candelaria : Conan, coged y coger...son tiempos distintos de verbos y depende del momento y a quien vayan dirigidas las palabras

594956 Candelaria : Posibilidad , tendría
594957 Candelaria : Posibilidad , tendría
594958 Candelaria : Tuviera, deseo
594959 PauLa : bis in idem
594960 BillMcneal : right, but some people here would go like "si tendria mucho dinero..."
594961 Candelaria : Distinto matiz
594963 Lynx : that sounds horrible, Bill
594964 PauLa : tendria????
594966 BillMcneal : i know, but it's used more widely than you'd expect
