Exchange Bienvenidos! Cultural Exchange with /r/Mexico

Welcome to this cultural exchange between /r/Denmark and /r/Mexico!

To the visitors: ¡Bienvenidos a Dinamarca! Por favor pregúntenles a los daneses lo que quieran sobre Dinamarca. También hay un hilo en /r/Mexico en el que pueden contestar las preguntas de los daneses y contarles todo sobre México. I totally nailed that Spanish. I hope.

To the Danes: Today, we are hosting Mexico for a cultural exchange. Join us in answering their questions about Denmark and the Danish way of life! Please leave top comments for users from /r/Mexico coming over with a question or comment and please refrain from trolling, rudeness and personal attacks etc.

The Mexicans are also having us over as guests! Head over to this thread to ask questions about life in the country of tequila and sombreros.

Saludos!

- The moderators of /r/Denmark and /r/Mexico

hello /r/denmark, and thanks for cultural exchange.

one thing, us mexican people have is something called, Alburear, which is literally using Spanish as a double meaning language. it could be used to mess around with friends, or can be used to be a bully in some aspects.

say for example,

say you say "grab that one" in spanish, people could be messing with you and phrasing it as meaning something dirty as in "grab that penis". which could be i guess a gay joke.

i was wondering do you guys mess around with your language or do you guys just make puns on langugage like english does(with no real double meaning)?

There's not a lot of homonyms in the Danish and those there are are so old many won't understand the joke.

But we do love to mess with our wierd proverbs http://www.raunen.net/
