Walked back to the hostel lounge for Spanish Class. Our class was very interesting learning about the roots of the chilenismos. Chilean spanish has influences from Quechua, Mapudungun and Castillian languages. Very interesting.
Quechua words-chalas=sandals, callampas=mushrooms, guagua=baby, chasquilla=hair bangs, taita=dad
Mapuche origin words-pololo=boyfriend, pilucho=naked, pichi=need to urinate
Spanish humor word Condorito, garabatos=profanity,
