I was about to comment the same thing about the accent. Even to my gringo ears, it sounds like an American speaking Spanish.
Plátano is commonly used for banana in Mexico, just bought some at a Soriana this weekend.
- david-gpu 2y agoI thought "plátano" is only used for plantains in Latin America, and Cavendish is typically called "banana" instead. I'm likely wrong, though.
- dragonwriter 2y agoAt least IME, and there may be regional or other variations I’m missing, people in México tend to use “plátano” for bananas and “plátano macho” for plantains.
- nomdep 2y agoIn Spain, it's like that. In Latin America, it was always "plátano," but in the last ten years, I've seen a new "global Latin American Spanish" emerging that uses "banana" for Cavendish, some Mexican slang, etc. I suspect it's because of YouTube and Twitch.
- david-gpu 2y agoIn Spain, plátano is used for Cavendish and plantains are rarely consumed. I am a Spaniard.
- Xirgil 2y agoInteresting, I was reading some comments from Japanese users and they said the Japanese voice sounds like a (very good N1 level) foreigner speaking Japanese.
