Thank you.

Hello, does anyone know where I might be able to play ultimate frisbee in Buenos Aires? Back in the day there was a weekly pick-up game at Ciudad Universitaria, but I know that is gone. Anyone have any leads or tips? Thank you,

Great. Did you have to fill out a customs form stating value of what new items you were bringing in country?

Hello, I live in the US, have a permanent DNI, and will be visiting Buenos Aires next month. A friend is having me bring him a drone valued at $1,500 USD. Can I expect to have to pay taxes (50%?) on the value of this drone? I am assuming I'll have to declare the amount of the drone on a customs...

That is great that you want two copies :) On occasion I consulted the Diccionario del habla de los argentinos when compiling my dictionary. I used to try to get my hands on all the (serious) monolingual dictionaries I could find. Also went and tried to make myself a friend of the Academia...

"Coger" with the vulgar meaning of "to screw" is included in the dictionary as well. As this definition of "coger" is not used in the majority of Spanish-speaking countries, it classifies as a regionalism.

For now it is available in book form in Argentina. I do have some copies at home here in the US (California) if you are interested and would like to send me a PM (don't really know if that is allowed on here).

Thank you!

Hello, it is available on Amazon for download ($17.99 U.S.), and in bookstores in Argentina that carry Editorial Océano books...

Hello, It is my pleasure to annouce that I have recently published the bilingual dictionary of Argentine Spainish regionalisms that I worked on for over 15 years. It contains over 2,400 entries, aproximately 66% of which are not in the Oxford Spanish-English Dictionary. If you are studying...

Anyone. any ideas. Buhler, Buher, Buhler.

Thank you for the answers, unfortunately the link provided above I had already checked and it does not contemplate my simple situation--which is unusual. The only info I have found so far is that renewals are handled through the Comunas in Bs As, but I don't know if that applies for foreigners...

Hello, I haven't been to Argentina for three years. I'll be going back next month to visit Bs As. I am a permanent resident there and would like to switch my old DNI booklet to a new DNI card, but did not find information on the migraciones website today. Can anybody tell me or share a link...

I had this problem 3 months ago. Solution: write out, in English, your own certificate of residency (base it exactly on an Argentine certificate of residency). Take it to a UPS store in the US and have a notary stamp it. Send it to Argentina via FedEx and have an official translator there...

Of course we all also know that the government can spy on us, and kill in our name (etc) and for this too there must be a system of checks and balances.

Dear people scared of the (big) government, This is what’s up: we all know that beauracracy sucks. But, guess what? When the village passed about 10,000 people, things changed. We had to institute rules and regulations and paperwork. You are required to follow all these rules and regulations...

You may go back and tell your wife's Spanish teacher that from the point of view of modern-day linguistics, there is no such thing as proper. 95% of people have their vision clouded by the opinions they hear and read (from misinformed sources) about language.

Let me try again, Rich One. As you say, you don’t know if vos was used 500 years: it was. It comes from Latin just as vous in French (and other similar pronouns in other Romance languages). Vos was used in Old Spanish but fell out of fashion in Spain, but only after some cities/towns we already...

Where I live there is a room. PM me with details about what youre doing in Arg, where your from and all that. Thanks.

You discourage the use of "vos"? You're kidding, Im sure. Vos has no plural? Neither does "tu". (Techincally "vos" has a plural; it's "vosotros", used in Spain. "Vos", as you may know, comes from old Spanish, and "vosotros" is "vos" plus "otros".) That "locally modified" imperative dates back at...
