www.CostaRicaTicas.com :: View topic - What are some critical spanish phrases?

First of all, go to this free webpage and print it. It's a very complete list of Costa Rican Spanish words and phrases, including words for foods most commonly enjoyed in C.R.:

Second, and this is important: In costa Rica, the informal "tu" form is rarely used. Nicas and Panamanians, Colombianas will not be offended by the less formal form of address, but the ticas might take some offense.

Es muy linda (You are very lovely) is preferred over "Eres muy linda."

Now for a few dirty words
:mrgreen:

panocha (pah-NOH-cha) = the female organ

picha (PEE-cha) = the male organ

Es muy linda, pero no puedo pagar cien = You are very lovely, but I can't pay (afford) so much.

Note that unlike English, vowels in Spanish only have one sound:

a = "ah"

e = "eh"

i = "ee" (as in "tree")

o = "oh" (as in, "oh say can you see...")

u = "oo" as in blue, fool, cool :cool:

Remember that the many inexpensive Spanish language schools found in Costa Rica aren't just great education in the language, they also make a great excuse to tell family/friends/gf/B&C. And for some, doctors, lawyers, cops, the trip may be tax-deductible. Consult an honest attorney.

Hope this helps. PM me with any other phrases you may need, and have fun in C.R.

So we need to use "usted" when taking with ticas? That seems way too formal given their occupation.

I agree that "usted" is probably used a little more in Costa Rica than in the neighboring countries, but the informal "tu" is used at least as much. In places like DR/KL and the MP's there is no reason to use usted. Especially if you are looking for GFE, as tu implies affection more than usted. As a matter of fact I frequently use "vos" which is common in Central America and even more friendly than tu. I also agree with Rear Window that given the social level of the women in these places, it is inappropriate to address them as usted. It may sound condescending, but even they would agree. Usually Costa Ricans who are friends with each other use "usted" in questions, depending upon the importance of the question, not the person. Commands are almost always in the tu form, while statements in the subjunctive form are almost always in the usted form (i.e. "que le vaya biÃ©n"). This is what I've observed, but as always I'm sure there are others who will disagree.

Post subject:	Usted vs. tu
I am only basing my statements regarding formality on what was told to me by the director of the ILISA in San Jose and by other ticos; Usted form is used for everyone: K*ds, pets, everyone. I disagree with anyone who implies that the women, as hhookers deserve less formal language than others in this culture. The old axiom about treating a whore like a lady comes to mind here. I think the less formal "tu" form is appropriate only after rapport has been established. An initial approach using the more formal usted form demonstrates the education of the speaker, not the attitude toward the listener. However, I do agree with Sandanista on the need to tailor language to the situation, and would prefer to use the more affectionate, less formal tu form. I especially prefer it, as I am accustomed to using this form of address in Mexico and other Latin American countries. And, I think that the tu formm is easier to learn somehow, so run with it. I hereby retract my admonition to always use the usted form in costa Rica...I mean, what the Phuck do I know anyway?
