このユニットの会話
Another Friday on the rooftop bar off Gran Vía. Joe and Catherine have been up there for an hour, and the wind has picked up.
Catherine: Joe, ¿qué tal el vermut de aquí?Joe, how's the vermouth here?
Joe: De la hostia. Pero aquí arriba hace un frío de la hostia.Amazing. But up here it's freezing as hell.
Catherine: Jaja. ¿Pedimos otro vermut, o bajamos a un bar?Haha. Shall we order another vermouth, or go down to a bar?
Catherine: Vale. Pero el vermut lo pago yo.OK. But I'm paying for the vermouth.
Joe: No, no. Tú pagaste las cañas. Ahora invito yo.No, no. You paid for the beers. Now it's on me.
Catherine: Bueno… pero la siguiente, yo.Fine… but the next one's on me.
文化のヒント
Anya meets a group of Joe's Madrid friends at a bar in Lavapiés. Within five minutes everyone has said joder at least twice. How should Anya read that?
As normal: in Spain, casual swearing among friends is everyday and doesn't mean anyone's angry.
Spain swears a lot, and casually. Joder, hostia or me cago en… pepper ordinary chats between friends, often between colleagues too, and you'll hear them on TV. Among friends it's punctuation, not aggression. It still drops off sharply with strangers, older people and formal settings, and an insult aimed at a person is a different thing entirely.
ネイティブらしく言うなら: ¡Joder, qué bien que has venido! — Damn, it's great that you came!
Sunday lunch at a friend's family home in Madrid. Grandma is at the table, and Joe knocks over a glass of water. What does Joe most likely say?
A clean stand-in like ¡ostras! or ¡jolín!
Spanish has a full set of polite stand-ins, like English "shoot" or "darn": ostras (oysters) for hostia, jolín, jo or jope for joder, mecachis for me cago en… They keep the reaction and drop the crudeness, so they're what people say around kids, grandparents and anyone they want to impress.
ネイティブらしく言うなら: ¡Ostras, perdón! — Oops, sorry!
After a night of practising, Anya swears like a local. Joe's friend Lucas grins at her: "Dices más tacos que un carretero." How should Anya take it?
As a fond tease: it's the Spanish version of "you swear like a sailor".
In Spanish you swear like a carretero, a cart driver, not a sailor: hablar como un carretero, or decir más tacos que un carretero. Among friends it's a teasing compliment on a newly loosened tongue. From an older relative it's a gentle telling-off.
ネイティブらしく言うなら: Dices más tacos que un carretero. — You swear more than a cart driver (like a sailor).
It's 1:45 a.m. on a Friday at Sol, and the metro gates are already shut. What are the options in Madrid?
The metro is closed until 6 a.m., but night buses (búhos) run, many of them from Plaza de Cibeles.
Madrid's metro stops around 1:30 a.m. and reopens at 6, every night, weekends included. After that the night buses take over: madrileños call them búhos (owls), and many lines leave from Plaza de Cibeles. Or you can try for a taxi, if you can find a free one on a Friday.
ネイティブらしく言うなら: He perdido el metro. Cojo el búho. — I've missed the metro. I'll get the night bus.
Sunday night, a packed bar in Madrid: Real Madrid against Atlético on the TV. The referee gives a penalty, and the whole bar erupts in swearing. What's going on?
The usual: the Madrid derby is the city's biggest rivalry, and yelling at the referee is part of watching it.
Madrid has two big clubs, Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid, and their derby (el derbi madrileño) fills bars all over the city. Cursing at the referee is part of the ritual, and mostly theatre. The line people respect: curse the game, not a person. Insults about someone's mother, origin or skin are another matter, and Spanish football has been cracking down on abusive chants in stadiums.
ネイティブらしく言うなら: ¡Me cago en la leche, árbitro! — Damn it, ref!
