trippingalot Posted September 21 Posted September 21 There's a good chance we've already seen the girl who's about to arrive, since that seems to be the usual lately... nameless girl at the villa, Vivi at B5, B4 latinas at B5. I wonder if these girls were the plan all along when they emptied that apartment, or if they were called in at the last minute because of the change of plans Noldus mentioned

Me pregunto si estas chicas eran el plan desde el principio cuando vaciaron el apartamento, o si las llamaron a última hora por el cambio de planes que mencionó Noldus. The change of plans was for B4, not for B1.

Vivi could be Italian or from a Spanish speaking country (apparently she speaks both). The as yet unnamed pretty girl in B1 could be from Colombia or Venezuela, but not sure. Spanish speaking in any case?... I thought that besides Ada, Veronica was also Spanish, but maybe she's also from Latin America instead?... Italian & Spanish are from the same language group (roman/latin, that also includes French (but that's more different than the others), Catalan, Portuguese & even Romanian) but they are definitely different languages, so you could probably get basic ideas across, but with lots of gesturing & room for misunderstandings. Comparable to the difference between Dutch & German (both Germanic, but distinct languages & not dialects, with English also being Germanic but more different than Dutch/German are from each other). I thought Latinos refers to Latin American people (who also have some, or a lot of, Native American blood mixed with Spanish or Portuguese), so it would not be the correct term for European Spanish/Portuguese/Italians etc... Maybe "Latins" (without "o") might be a better term for the latter. Thx Ep. Are you a linguist in your real life? I have watched Veronica “lots of gesturing” lots and lots even when Spanish is being spoken. She is a bossy little human but I enjoy it. We have some Mexicans and South Americans at work and they don’t all like being referred to as latinos…or latinas I guess. I don’t think any of them want to be called Latinex. lol, probably a name invented by a non-Latino. 🤷♂️

But knowing how & where language groups developed, is of course also part of history. 🙂 But I've always been naturally rather good at languages (as opposed to maths/physics/chemistry in school). That's why rather calm me always starts raging when CC autocorrect tries to correct my English! And incorrectly, at that! 😄

I dunno. One day a word or phrase is politically correct then later becomes an insult. I think at my work they just don’t want to be lumped into a group with people at the office they don’t like. 1

bakke123 Posted September 21 Posted September 21 Is this the same girl who was sleeping in the living room 2 days ago?
