But, but...

When I lived with a family in Sevilla for a week, in the morning the mother would always be like "Hola, bueno' día'!" confused

And my sevillana Spanish Composition teacher tends to drop her s's sometimes. Not all the time, but fairly often.

Maybe you do drop the s's and you just don't realize you're doing it. xd

EDIT: Ooohh, wait, wait, are the Castillian and Andalucian dialects two different things? sweatdrop


In Sevilla, of course we drop the s ;3 most people do anyway xP because most people here speak the andalusian "modalidad lingüística" (dialect xD) andd~~

...see, to us here Castilian is the Spanish spoken in Spain. I've been taught that we should call "Castilian" the Spanish spoken -inside- Spain and "Spanish" the language in general orr spoken outside of Spain (i.e, Mexico) and, eh...see, people from..um..Madrid...Cataluña..Aragón..Castilla..The Basque Country[/random regions] speak~~ like "proper" Castillian..saying the "full" words with the s and all. Most people in Andalucía don't, though n3n I'll make that clear in the Andalusian thread anyways. <_< >_> but umm...yeah. xD

Umm...actually, people who speak -Castilian- NEVER drop the s[/fact] xD;

Err...a story! 8D

This year in our trip to Ireland there were two groups of Spanish students in our school. One of Basques, one of Sevillians.

It was rather funny, we had fun mocking the other's accents~ And at one point of time, most of the sevillians had stopped dropping the s at the end of the words..yeah and I was all "I want to speak normally again! I swear I can't stop saying the s! D:" and one girl was all "I think this accent is really cute! =D"

rofl That's hilarious! Do people from the Basque region speak Spanish as well?

Yush, of course. Just that most of them learn and speak Basque as well. But they have to know Spanish, it's mandatory for their school 'n' all. If they live in Spain, they have to talk in Spanish to people who don't speak or understand Basque. D:

See, our other group in that trip was in a different town, and they also had a group of Basque students with them, but they were completely different from the ones with us. Because they didn't speak in Spanish almost AT ALL. And they -knew- Spanish. That was so rude~ That kind of people...if you ask them "oh, you're from Spain?" they'll reply "no, I'm from the Basque Country." .-_.-

There are foolish people everywhere~ >3<

Ok, so it's like that all over. The reason I ask is beacuse my friend in Barcelona speaks Catalan as a native language...I probably told you this already! xd

France also does that to the Basque and even the Breton (Celtic language) speakers

Cool, my spanish teacher's from spain. The most thing I've noticed is that the only time she uses an "s" sound is if the word is spelled with an "s." I haven't paid attention to whether she chops off "s" at the end of sentences.

Here in Mexico, you know when someone is Spaniard immediately from their Castillian. It's weirdo. Intonation is bizarre, their voices are bizarre, they say "grathias" instead of "grasias", they say "vosotros" instead of "ustedes", and they have their weirdo phrases like "guay" (which is awfully close to the Mexican "wey") and "mola mogollón" ("it rocks").

I find them kinda funny, and in fact I've been recently liking it from that Spaniard sitcom a friend of mine always watches biggrin
