Right now the topics are how to celebrate 'dia de los muertos.' I've mentioned to them, even last year, that relatives in Gto haven't heard about it and never celebrated it. In fact, no one has hardly mentioned '16 de septiembre.' A couple of interesting words from Gto that I remember are 'parian' for 'mercado' and 'gambusino'. Gambusinos are those who come to mexico and become prospectors and they look like real miners. The DEA translator company is hiring here again soon. It really takes someone from this area and culture to transcribe and then translate into English. The 'pa', 'pos', 'fuites', 'ansina' and pachuquismos(chota, simon, chale, calcos, etc) and all other linguistic oddities. My next big project is to keep a log and when speaking Spanish, if I can't remember a word or phrase, I want to write it down and see if there's a pattern. El Norte is no longer available online and now I read the Reforma from DF. The best source for newspapers is www.lanic.utexas.edu. jp Martha Burton Santibáñez wrote: > In my experience working and living with people from all over Mexico (esp. > Guerrero), there isn't that much variation in the meaning or uses of the terms. > > Martha > > james phillips wrote: > > > Some of these words and expressions were collected from relatives in > > Guanajuato.
