logansrogueAll those that speak Spanish:
Once my brother was on a board and got called 'campesinito' by an Argentinian (Scotty had made a tasteless joke about the Falklan War). What does it mean? I'm just curious cause he's called an unscrupulous character that in his newest animation.
Cheers,
Nacey.

Campesinito=little peasant (male).

Date: 2006-09-04 08:19 pm (UTC)some people in argentina and chile think people from australia are, how can I say this...i´ll use the expression americans use:
red necks
my spanish language teacher is from chile,and he´s used to call his cousins, that live in australia, "campesinos"
but it´s not common, and should not take as a general point of view.

Date: 2006-09-05 08:02 pm (UTC)and I don't know if Argentine people define it the same way...but in Cuba, people who are from the country, the middle of nowhere, out there where the only company you have are the mountains and the cattle... that's called "el campo" Campesino is a man from "el campo" and whenever you have an "ito" added to the end of a word in spanish it means little something...although in spanish it's a suffix and not a prefix (just for future reference).
When you refer to people from el campo, you're basically describing ignorant people. People who lived far away from all social, political, and intellectual influence.
The Argentine guy was probably telling your brother he was ignorant in a really tactless way.
