New Entrance fees for Americans

[malbec]

In Castellano "americano" is everyone who comes from the Americas. It does not mean someone comes from the USA. It has - mostly - nothing to do with pride or whatsoever, but it has not the same meaning as in English.

Sorry Malbec, you are wrong....in Argentina americano does indeed mean a USA person...in Mexico, not true, and maybe in many other countries, not true, but here it is true...

 

[malbec]

Nahhh, not in Argentina. rentaplus, I am Argentine. Point me please to any newspaper article mentioning "americano". Maybe in Spain, but not in Argentina.

Sure, I have a quote for you. Guess from whom?

"Cuando poquísimos o casi ningún turista argentino venía acá, esto se llenaba y se sigue llenando de españoles, franceses, alemanes, americanos, ingleses que vienen a conocer o algunos otros que se van a El Chaltén ..."

Doesn't apply to all Americans, only citizens of the USA.

look for a $29 tax on your ticket. if there is one, you already paid the fee.

Tsch, tsch, tsch...! How very gauche of "La Presidenta". The politically correct name would be "estadounidenses de norteamerica".

Igor - that was very funny, thank you! And I will say that conversationally, my porteño friends alway use "americana/o" when describing someone from the US. I have never heard someone say "estadoundiense" when talking. And when they are discussing brazilians or mexicans or hatians, etc - they don't call them america/o.
