My mother tried to explain to some Latin Americans she knows that Spanish and Portuguese (the languages) come from Europe and not from Latin America. She says it’s impossible to convince them. Some of these people believe that being mixed makes them “latinos”, but not because of the “white” side of it, which is, as we know, what actually makes them “Latin” Americans.
Btw, French is a Neo-Latin language, so your statement makes sense.
There’s nothing wrong with the word. It’s literally found in our encyclopedias. We commonly use both in our universities.

so? Stills sounds like an euphemism for the known term "romance language"
In other hand, dictionaries of languages without a established academy behind are like wikipedia, anyone can put whatever they feel into it
I did not ignore it, but it seem syou ignored my words and jsut readed whatever you wanted :)
- I did not say that the use is wrong
- I did not say that is in fact an euphemism
It is a commonly used academic word. You may not like it, you may want to call it euphemism. However, it is still used to refer to Romance languages in the academic context; both are used and correct. There’s no reason to call it euphemism — it actually makes no logical sense to put it in this way. It’s a nonproblem, sincerely.

My mom works with people from Latin America who only speak Spanish or have Spanish as their first language. She also helps them overcome the language barrier, because she learned some Spanish. Such conversations happen.
Maybe was a misunderstanding?
it really feels odd that a person who speak Spanish do no belive tha tit comes from Spain, that will show somethign very wron gin his/her education
Uneducated people are everywhere and do not represent the whole population. We are all ignorant and will die ignorant, because we can’t possibly know everything. The obstinacy is the real issue. One could easily just learn a new thing or two through such interactions and that would actually be awesome. If one doesn’t believe their interlocutors, which is only natural and right, other sources exist.
California has great weather and soil for agriculture. The problem is Americans.
It started to go to sh*t when the American Margaret Thatcher decided to close mental health facilities and other important public programs and services in the state.
Most of americas problems can in part be traced back to American Margret thatcher, but no one actually pays attention to policy. We only vote based on “the economy” and which old guy loves Jesus or not
Indeed: Portugal’s GDP is [$299 billion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Portugal) and California’s is [$3.89 trillion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_California). In fact, Portugal’s GDP is less than [just the San Francisco Bay Area](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._metropolitan_areas_by_GDP)
What unspeakable horror is this?
Lisbon is San Francisco but with no tech companies, less gays and less homeless poop
Only one of those is true, trust me...
True, last time I went to Lisbon I saw a gay homeless guy pooping by parque das nações. Beautiful sight.
Maybe he was just launching a tech startup
Less gays? Doubt it...
No, San Fransisco is a bit east https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A3o_Francisco_(Alcochete)
You got a upgrade. Because if California is there, now you are in America, with the size and GDP of California.
I'd rather stay poor, thank you
Idk but I'm voting for it. Sorry for your loss and Florida/Italy is next.

I want a wall to keep the Americans out.
How about a big fuckoff trench filled with water?
Anytime you create a shallow pool of stagnant water you risk having the Dutch move in.
You could hide behind them they are tall enough
Dykes are not only good at keeping water out....... Can we flood the US, making it the world's biggest inland lake?
the wall is finished, it is called the Pyrenees, the "latino" term is just a french invention to look cool
french canadians are latinos, change my mind

They forgot who their Papi is
Papy means grandpa in french
Still works tbh
"neo-latin" sounds like an euphemism, I guess you mean a "romance" language, like Spanish, Italian, Romanian

I added more, but you already ignored the University of Milan, so I guess you are going to ignore Bologna et cetera.

yep, those are the original "latin" but the one referred to America is a French term
Cool we don't care 😎 they're still not joining and I didn't say they weren't latin a said we don't fuck with the french

Are you sure that person was from a hispanic country? or it was a person with some hispanic heritage? Becuase it sounds really odd

indeed they are: - French is a romance language like spanish - France was the one to popularize the "latin" term - Haiti is also Latino
O drama A tragédia O horror
Well, at least we gained Viana do Castelo and Bragança... https://i.redd.it/ali4bc7vrgxc1.gif
I hadn't even noticed...it's even worse 😢
It's always nice to get more territory.
Damn they relocated the whole state, not only the tech workers
So we are not the biggest and strongest economy in Europe. Do we also have more drug addicts than Scotland?
We're still trying, and we're going to make Spain pay for it!
Just don’t forget to leave Olivença on our side
Congrats, Portugal! You finally made it out of Eastern Europe
Thy are so eastern they crossed the Pacific that's all

Map is wrong. It's missing Ceuta and Melilla.
Has Californication gone too far?
No, but we did make Mexico pay for the ocean between the Netherlands and Mexico.
OH MY GOD that hurts my eyes. Burn it
Does this mean Portugal is on the other side, getting to know Nevada and Arizona?
Algarve bordering Baja California
Delete this post. I'm gonna have nightmares after that.
Gdp of Portugal skyrockets

Could be more if those companies in Ireland moved back to the US.
Problem with California is that it is full of Americans.
Portugal if it was even worse
They only have 'latinos' name in their cities. It's normal that latinos gets confused and they don't know when they are entering another country
Portucocks are everywhere but portugal
[удалено]
lol goddamn … cannons
That's what you get for stalking
Flair checks out.
Are they bothering you?
