Es la una y diez (it's 1:10) or
Es la una y diez de la tarde (it's 1:10 in the afternoon)

Telling time in Spanish

You're not an idiot. There are many ways to say different things in Spanish. Try getting a Cuban, a Puerto Rican, a Costa Rican, a Spaniard, and a Gallego in the same room. They might speak the same general language, but they do it in very different ways.

Pretty sure its 'es la'

between 12:30 and 1:30 all times are said with an 'es la', every other time of the day it's 'son las'

Isla,

So true. Sometimes after learning a foreign language you have to learn another when you get there! I happily learned "paraguas" (umbrella) in school only to discover that in Costa Rica they use "sombrillas."

(I also found it "disturbingly" amusing that the first American show I saw on television there was...get this...the "epitome of American culture" :roll ...Baywatch! )

Hehe, I hear you sistah.

I found out the hard way by saying words that, from my ethnic background, are just mild curse words. However, to someone from a Puerto Rican background, they are like the most awful things you can say! And then other people would hear me and say, "Huh?"

Castillian Spanish (what is most commonly taught) is a beautiful language but it is mostly spoken in Castille. 😀

It is beautiful.
I could never perfect that 'lisp' though.

"1:10 pm in spanish."

Yes, he is correct. "1:10 pm is spanish" is pronounced exactly that way.

I had 2 years taught by a Castillian Spaniard followed by two years taught by a Puerto Rican. What a tremendous difference between the two! I clearly recall (this is going back 18 years...) that the Castillian pronounced the two "l's" as in pollo (chicken) as a "y" sound and the Puerto Rican as a "j" sound. Then, throw a word in like amarillo and add to the confusion.

I can speak and read Spanish well enough to function, but I cannot carry on a conversation with a native speaker. I blame the change in teachers and my lack of discipline for this...😉

Heh, then you can sympathize with my familia. We are a mix of Cuban and Spanish (Northern Spain, specifically Galicia and Asturias) and we've been in the American South for a couple of generations. There are no Latino rednecks in my family, but there is such a thing where I come from. 😀

Having a higher postcount probably indicates he either posts many more intelligent threads than I do... or that he posts more worthless sh1t than I do. You make the call. I've probably started more flamewars than he has though....
