😎 Español Dominicano/ Dominican Spanish
Entender a un dominicano a veces resulta un desafío, ya sea por su manera de hablar (acentuación) o por las palabras que utilizan. Muchas veces, al escuchar a personas emplear términos poco comunes en otros países de habla hispana, me digo a mí misma: “Qué difícil es entender a un dominicano”. No quiero preocuparte; simplemente mencioné que es difícil, no imposible. Por lo tanto, depende de ti crear tu propia lista de vocabulario utilizado en la República Dominicana para mejorar tu experiencia al comunicarte con tu familia o amigos.
Es por eso que te proporciono una lista de palabras, organizadas alfabéticamente en español, junto con sus respectivas definiciones o traducciones al inglés. Espero que te resulten de gran utilidad. ¡Buena suerte!
Understanding a Dominican can sometimes be a challenge, either due to their way of speaking (accent) or the words they use. Many times, when I hear people using uncommon words in other Spanish-speaking countries, I tell myself, “How difficult it is to understand a Dominican.” I don’t want to worry you; I just said difficult, not impossible. So, it’s up to you to create your list of vocabulary used in the Dominican Republic to have a better experience when communicating with your family or friends.
That’s why I’m providing you with a list of words, alphabetically organized in Spanish, along with their definitions or translations in English. I hope they serve you well. Good luck!
