Tengo dos preguntas de español rioplatense:

1. What's the most common way to ask "How are you?", in both formal and informal situations?

- ¿Cómo está?
- ¿Cómo está usted?
- ¿Cómo estás?
- ¿Qué tal?
- or perhaps something else

2. Is it more common to say septiembre or setiembre? Or are they both used in different situations?

¡Gracias!

Ah, back in the good ol' days, when they still made real cell phones.

@santiago
Now I'm curious. What is this product?

@santiago
I don't want to annoy you with too many Spanish questions at once, but I just learned the other day that Spanish has several words for "here": aquí, acá, allí, allá, ahí. Is there an easy definition for these?

(I noticed you used "acá in this post and "aquí" in another one where you were presenting a link to another website.)

I still use fountain pens and bottled ink, so this is useful for me to know.

Is "lapicera" a fountain pen? I thought fountain pen was "pluma estilográfica".

@santiago
Thanks!

What's the most common word for "pen" in Rioplatense Spanish?

Pasta al pomodoro for dinner?

@santiago
That's an interesting celebration. But just wait until people get nostalgic for the good old days before Nostalgia Night became popular and decide to go to sleep early. 😁

@santiago
Thanks! That's good to know.

@santiago
¡Felicidades!

Veo una cafetera francesa.

@santiago
I'm not sure what schedule I will set up, yet. It will likely be early morning in Uruguay or else the middle of the night. I'll check out the stations you recommended in September sometime. Thanks!

@santiago
Music is fine, too. But I like Soft Rock, Easy Listening, Country, etc, not Rap or Heavy Metal. Something where I can hear the words.

For this, I was also thinking of talk radio because radio presenters usually speak very clearly, and I want to hear Rioplatense Spanish pronounced in a way that people can understand it easily.

Do you have any specific recommendations?

Aquí hay algunas estaciones de radio uruguayas que puedo escuchar en Internet. ¿Cuáles son en su mayoría programas de radio? Y, de esas estaciones de radio de entrevistas, ¿cuáles son menos propensas a hablar sobre política y deportes? ¡Gracias!

Here are some Uruguayan radio stations I can listen to on the internet. Which ones are mostly talk radio? And, of those talk radio stations, which ones are least likely to talk about politics and sports? Thank you!

I'm not a huge Twitter user, and I really despise that guy, but having him buy Twitter was a match made in hell.

I grew up with a wood-burning furnace. It was super cheap because we lived relatively close to a forest and could easily get a permit to cut logs. We cut it, blocked it, and split it ourselves. My father was a farmer, so it gave him something to do in the winter and early spring.

@santiago
Is it good at heating your whole home up?

@santiago
How are you staying warm?

@santiago
I've only had the Estrella (the red cans on the right). I recommend avoiding it. The only other one I've heard of is Super Bock, but I've never tried it.

What's the beer like in Uruguay? Are there any in this picture you would recommend?
