This video is a preview of our course based on the movie «Ocho apellidos vascos». The movie is a comedy about an impossible romance between a young Basque woman and a man from Andalucía. The cultural differences between them are so great that they could be from different countries.

Rafael’s roommate, a young Andalusian man, has just found out that Rafa brought a young Basque woman home last night. He is shocked because he thinks all Basques are terrorists.

In this clip you’ll hear some examples of Andalusian speech. For example:

  • quillo/a, from chiquillo/a, an informal form of address
  • the pronunciation of participles ending in la –d-, as in
  • liao (liado): in a mess/tied up with something
  • perdío (perdido) lost
  • dormío (dormido) asleep; slept
  • amamonao (amamonado) clueless, hopeless

Other words and expressions you’ll hear include:

  • liarse con alguien: to get involved with someone
  • tirarse a alguien: to have sex with someone
  • tía /tío: colloquial form of address
  • estar amamonao perdío: to be totally dumb

–      Rafa, where were you, mate? Because the last time I saw you, you were with the Basque girl, or maybe you got involved with another customer. Did you screw the Basque girl?

–      No, no, but don’t tell anyone, we just slept together, nothing more.

–      Man, you really are totally dumb, eh?
