There is a huge diference in between "chimicuí" and "chimichurri". "Chimicuí" is an insignificant person or a bad smell, whenever you listen to it you´ll have to guess which of this definitions is being used BUT for NO reason let people call you any of these words. "Chimichurri" could be a cheap person but mostly it is used to mention the local hamburguers. DO-NOT-EAT-CHIMICHURRI. DO-NOT-BE-TEMPTED.

Here comes the most tricky part of the dominican language. Whether "totao" is the masculine form of a pronoun and past tense of the verb "to toast" and means several things such as "a person who is out of fashion, a little dumb or kind of nerd", "well cooked"...the femenine of this verb and pronoun should be "totá" LISTEN WELL, the accent is over the "a" and we strongly suggest to better use "tostada" to avoid any kind of missunderstandings. Please repeat these new words at loud in front of your DOMINICAN teacher for spanish until you have a perfect pronunciation. Any mistake should and must be avoid.

Please take notice that a "lambón" is not a sheep or another animal. A "lambón" is a person who always shows uninvited or that is always asking for something.

11:15 PM  
Blogger Laura Yosiam said...

You may feel bad if someone call you "canchanchán, mayimbe, matatán or bacano" but rest confident that those are compliments and although nobody are pretty sure of their exact meaning, the truth is that they all refer positive to extraordinary people who lead and are nice.

11:24 PM  
Blogger Laura Yosiam said...

Always go to where the "chercha, can or bonche" is (equals to party) and dominican people will be very glad to have you, if you are not a "lambón", of course. BUT NEVER, NEVER wear the same clothes in a row...dominican people are very nice but they do not understand or tolerate this type of behavior. And yes, they know what you wore last time, and the last before the last time, etc.

"canilla" is used in South America to call a "faucet". At the Dominican Republic, it means your legs are so thin you´ll have to do something about them.

11:41 PM  
Blogger Laura Yosiam said...

Dominicans love beisbol so much, they named "pitchers" the boys that collect the fees at the local buses, called as well "voladoras". DO-NOT drive or walk near by any of these buses or "carro público" THEY ARE DANGEROUS, I REPEAT, public transportation at the D.R. IS DANGEROUS. It is safer to walk long distances under the 40C (104F) sun than to use public transportation.

"Pariguayo, mangansón, paracaidas, afrentoso, allantoso, aguajero, parejero, fantamoso" are NOT complimentary words. Beware of them.

Dominican cuisine is very creative and varied, you can start with friquitaquis, yaniqueques, barriguitas de vieja, followed by mondongo, patica, orejita, chicharrón or sancocho while drinking a champola, mabí, morirsoñando, frio-frio or guavaberry, also you are invited to ask in a "colmado" for a "cervezuana dressed as a bride" preferably Presidente (they will know what we are talking about) and to finish with wonderful desserts: habichuelas con dulce or "añugaperro". Please be welcome to the most exquisite trip to the bathroom. By eating all the above, you will have a clean colon for the first time in your life, especially if you eat the habichuelas con dulce hot. Thanks for considering the advises of "The Homero Institute".

Esto me llegó por e-mail, al igual que el de los nombres de pueblos dominicanos en inglés, que no lo dije antes.

"En Rep.Dominicana somos todos animales. Luego de investigar el comportamiento y darme cuenta de la diversidad de especies de animales que somos enuncio lo siguiente:

Cuando Ud. come mucho Ud. es un Buey
Si Ud. es medio asqueroso es un Puerco
Si es Ud. una persona guapa que no le tiene miedo a nadie es un León
Si se sabe manejar bien y sabe salirse siempre con la suya de cuarquier lio Ud. es un Zorro
Si se enamora mucho y tiene muchas mujeres un Gallo
Al ladron se le dice Gato
Persona bruta es un burro o un pedazo de animal (no especifica)
Si es fuerte y robusto es un Toro
Inteligente y muy popular o tambien para llamar a un desconocido un Caballo
Si tiene muchas vivencias y engaña a cualquiera es Ud. un Tigre
Joven alto y estupido un Pavo
Persona con inexperiencia en todo un Palomo
Sino corre mucho cuando juega pelota un Pato
Amanerado tambien Pato
Homosexual es Un pajaro
Al cobarde en Santo Domingo se le LLama Gallina
Si Ud. habla mucho es Un Loro
Si Ud. es de esos que les gusta enamorar mujeres ajenas un Buitre
Mujer fea un Grillo o Cacata
Un malagradecido un Cuervo
Un hobre lindo un Pollo
Una compañia que abusa de sus servicios en santo domingo un Pulpo
Persona vividora Sanguijuela
Si su mujer le es infiel automáticamente de convierte Ud. en un Venao
Feo grande y priento un Gorila
Otro feo un Mono
Una persona muy desconfiada de todo un Chivo
En cualquier situación Ud. se adapta un Camaleon
Si sufre Ud. de mal aliento es pues un Dragon
Mujer mala y chismosa una Serpiente
Si Ud. fuma mucho un murcielago
Una mujer que balile y menea mucho su cuerpo es comparada con una Culebra
Joven muy vivo que aprende rapido es un Potro
Un tipo quedao y desfasado un Raton
Cuando se habla mal del otro se usa la palabra Raton en sustitución del nombre de la persona
Mujer bastante mala una Vivora
Enamora mucho Un pica-flor
Otra persona fea un Maco
Si le sobresalen los ojos es Ud. una Lechuza
Otra mujer mala es una piraña
Una persona con malos sentimientos es en Santo Domingo un Ave de rapiña
un hombre muy malo y mal educado es un perro
despectivo de la mujer perra
Una doña muy gorda es una ballena

Y para terminar...........
cuando queremos darle una virtud positiva a una persona que hace algo muy interesante solemos decir: Ese TIGRE..ES UN CABALLO!!! "

Otro por e-mail que no puede faltar en The Homero Institute:

"Si el sexo oral es bueno... ¿qué tal será el escrito?
Si un abogado enloquece... ¿perderá el juicio?
Si los derechos son reservados... ¿qué pasa con los zurdos?
¿Cuántos pájaros en mano corresponden a 450 volando?
Si una persona es atropellada cada 5 minutos... ¿cómo hace esta persona para aguantar tanto madrazo?
Si los infantes disfrutan de su infancia... ¿los adultos disfrutan del adulterio?
Si hay un "más allá"... ¿habrá un "más acá"?
Si la alberca es honda... ¿el mar será toyota?
¿Qué significa "NBA"? ¿"Negros Bastante Altos"?
¿Qué cuentan las ovejas para dormir?
Si el dinero es la causa de los problemas... entonces ¿para qué frega'os trabajamos?
¿Por qué corremos rápido debajo de la lluvia, si delante también llueve?
Si cuando como huevo se me revienta el hígado... cuando coma hígado ¿se me reventará un huevo?
¿Dónde quedaría la otra mitad del Medio Oriente?
¿Hasta dónde se lavarán la cara los calvos?
¿Por qué al planeta le llaman "Tierra"... si tiene tres cuartas partes de agua?
Por qué "separado" se escribe todo junto... pero "todo junto" se escribe separado?
Si el amor es ciego... ¿por qué la ropa interior es tan popular?
¿Por qué le llamarán "medio ambiente"? ¿Será que ya destruímos la otra mitad?
¿Por qué le llaman "héroe" al que no tuvo tiempo de correr? "

You may get confused with some small words at the Dominican Republic, for instance, "fo" is the correct word for a bad smell but don´t think "fofo" is a strongest smell, it is no more than a chubby person that lacks of exercise!!

11:57 PM  
Blogger Laura Yosiam said...

When a person, object or place has no class at all you could hear strange and very phonetic words such as: kukiká, carabelita, viralata (this particular word also could be mentioned in front of a dog with no breed definition).

11:59 PM  
Blogger Laura Yosiam said...

Spanish dictionaries are not at all effective at the Dominican Republic. For example, if you are in a cafeteria, bar, food shop or restaurant DO-NOT-ASK for a "pajilla, popote or a sorbete" if all you want is a "straw". Take my advice, just ask for a "Calimete" and you´ll be right served. If in the movies and want some pop corn, you could say "rosetas de maiz or palomitas" and be understood but if you say "cocaleca", then everybody will get the idea.
