Archie, good list with only a few problems:

Hate (to) is "odiar" not Idiar" It's a reflexive verb, so like gustar (to enjoy, to taste) it is used as if the thing you hate really hates you instead (de vez de). "Me odian las Colombianas/ I hate Colombianas)."

In C.R. to have an orgasm is regarse...literally, to irrigate oneself.

To turn on, a radio or Hitachi Magic Wand for instance: In C.R. they'll often use the verb "aprender," as in the command "Aprenda la radio/turn on the radio."

Culo: Literally, as$hole. The arse is the cola or more politely, tracero.

Interesting fun fact: Even though your dictionary will say the word for towel is "toalla," in C.R. it's not right. Ticos use "pan~o," because toalla in C.R.'s idiom means sanitary napkin or feminine hygiene pad.

Note that all nouns are either masculine or feminine, and adjectives must be de acuerdo (in agreement) with the noun.

Una muchacha lista/un muchacho listo A clever girl/a clever guy.

In C.R. a BJ can either be una mamada or una chupa. "Sexo oral" is perfectly acceptible also.

I'm sure I'll find a few other small things as I read the list a second and third time. Great effort, Archie! I'm sure that this will become a very useful tool.

More sex words:

Volver: To roll over, also to return Command "Veuelvese"

To kneel: Doblar, doblese. Also means to fold, to double or to bend.


meterse: To insert. This is complicated to use.

consolador = dildo

vibrador(a) = vibrator

Lubricante = lube
el orgasmo = the orgasm Un orgasmo = an orgasm

subir = to climb, to board (as a bus, train or taxi) "Sube" can be used as a one-word command to tell her to get on top.
tragar = to swallow.

Sorry I didn't conform to your layout, Archie. Just realized that I listed the Spanish words first in this post. I guess it's because I think in Spanish sometimes.

You know what might help with that is listening to spanish radio. My favorite station here in Tampa is Novente Dos Punto Cinco Maximo Efay Emay (to be said with emphasis like a latino soccer announcer). Aside from learning the current (and past) latin music hits, which I enjoy listening to anyway, much of the chatter in between songs are numbers which are usually repeated over and over (such as the store telephone numbers in ads). If its spoken too fast for you the first time, you pick up on it the second time around and after a while you get used to hearing numbers spoken very fast.

Another trick that I've heard for improving spanish comprehension is to listen to spanish language Ch**drens cartoons since the vocabulary used tends to be simpler.

Personally, my vocabulary including numbers is not too bad and my pronunciation is pretty good. Comprehension could use some work and writing/spelling even more (as it could for many BM chicas based on some RFM's I've seen). But where I usually feel the biggest need is in the area of conjugation (beyond the present tense).

I find "consolador" for dildo most amusing...I guess it does console the woman though. And if conjugation is difficult, it just means more conjugal visits are in order. Seriously though (or as serious as I get), a good knowledge of Latinate words in English can help mightily in understanding Spanish vocabulary if not in putting sentences together. You can at least muddle through a "peoples" newspaper.

Conjugal visits.

Seriously, BroJazzBo makes a good point.

Another point: Knowledge of English grammar (parts of speech, verb conjugations etc.) will really help.


Being able to conjugate verbs at a higher level of proficiency allows you to convery and understand more complex and nuanced speech. And more importantly, it allows you to say things like.... "I would have lasted longer were not it for the fact that your sweet anus was tighter than I had expected."

Hey Cuj...conjugate THAT...then add sprinkles. B4 I forget. I just thought of a word that I never heard before visiting la Costa. They say "candela" (candle) for lighter. I've always used either incendidor (L. Amer.) or metchero (Spain).

Sorry for the rambling.

I think you came across some slang. Candela is candle, there is no changing that. It's used as slang just as I would ask you if you had any "fire" etc..

Btw, I like the idea of adding sprinkles. And here I thought I was nasty for outlining their culos with lipstick (it's a nice visual though)

Habicheulas - is red beans in Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic
frijoles are usually the black beans in cuban food and Gallo Pinto which is a unique Costa Rican dish
frijoles negros is cuban black bean soup best served with fresh tear jerking white onions

Fuego is also a slang for lighter. Fosforos are matches.

Nice list of great vocab. But the secret to success is your accent. Each country has a unique accent. If in CR, pronounce amor (love) as amorsh and comer (to eat) as comersh and you are on the road to going native.

Just roll your own cigarettes in the park while hanging at vista linda with large bills rolled in your sleaves while walking about town and you have officially "gone native"

Peace,

ElC,

Yes odiar was a typo

Haven't heard regarse, and they seem to all know orgasmo, would like some other input on this one.

Culo, I've had good luck with (pun intended), they all seem to know it. But I'm open to the alternatives (pun not intended).

Pano is a GREAT addition, I always need to ask for more towels.

I used to use mamada, but no one understood me, maybe I was saying it wrong, switched to chupa and they all get it (or should I say I always get it?)

GR, This list really isn't what I'm relying on, I'm trying to learn spanish, it's what I used to get some vocabulary, and it's about trying to encourage other guys learn some spanish with relevant vocabulary. I found this list helped me a lot and want to pass it on. I'm a newbie to Spanish, but haven't had too much trouble communicating yet. Granted we're not negotiating off shore oil rights or anything, but we all seem to get along pretty well. If all else fails I'll waive $60 in her face and point to my Johnson, and grunt ElC's new contribution "Sube Chica Ahora", not really my style, but maybe I need to branch out.

OK, here's one: "I"

Yo and Me come to mind, should I list them both, or is there an easy little tag I can put to show the difference? Is there another one?

Yo, me, and mi...

Good one. "Hay" is very easy to use and very common. It is also good for asking questions:

Hay mujeres aqui? = Are there women here?

Hay vino tinto? = Is there red wine? or Do you have any red wine?

It is easy because there are no conjugations. Present tense is always Hay and past tense is always Hubo or Habia.

El S and I were talking about this. I thought mi was my.

and Hay is a great addition. How silent is that H generally?

Mi is my..

The H in Hay is all the way silent. Sounding more like "I" when said.

A great way to pick up on coloqual (Costa Rician) spanish and slang (especially sexual slang) is to read the posts on the Costa Rican version of CRT, "Ticosexo". Also a great way to find out what chicas are popular with the Ticos. This is where I have learned about several MPs and where I first heard about Jenny at Relax back when she was in Tibas.

words like:
companions--compas
friend -- Mae
session with -- atinde con
climax -- echa el polvo or regar
massage parlor (house) -- chante
the chicas -- hembres, guilas
something (someone) is very nice -- tuanis
