Belgrano German
As Belgranodeutsch the mixture of is German and Spanish languages referred, the German among the descendants of immigrants in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires was spoken.
The origin of the term goes back to the Belgrano district , in which many German emigrants lived in the mid- 20th century . The Pestalozzi School located here (until the beginning of the 1990s also the Goethe School), with its bilingual orientation, also focuses on the German language.
The basis of Belgrano German is the German language, to which individual Spanish terms are mixed. These can be nouns as well as verbs or adjectives . Verbs are often used in the sense of the German conjugation.
Examples:
- Will you lend me your goma ? (Eraser)
- Do you ever tell that? ( traducir = translate)
- I'm afeitarse now ( afeitarse = to shave)
Through the Belgrano German, some German loanwords have established themselves in the Spanish of Argentina , such as B. the word cake.
