- Use food items to talk about your eating habits
Food is a central part of Hispanic cultures, with each country and each region having its own unique cuisine. Because of the diversity and strong local influences we see with Hispanic foods, there is more regional variation with vocabulary than usual. Below are some examples.
- juice = el zumo de... (España) / el jugo de... (LatAm)
- banana = el plátano (Spain, Mexico, Peru, Chile Bolivia) / la banana (Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, parts of Honduras) / el banano (Honduras/Nicaragua/Guatemala) / el cambur (Venezuela)
- strawberry = la fresa / la frutilla (Chile)
