One thing is that pretty much the only place you'll see formal chilean is in like, the news, or official government communication. We're not very formal people, so even in workplaces or school we wouldn't use 100% formal register.
- flobosg 2y agoSure, that is largely true. But, to state that the formal register of Chilean Spanish is “probably one of the most understandable ones, accent-wise” of all available Spanish registers is, in my humble opinion, quite a stretch.
- Phrodo_00 2y agoI don't know, here's a random news segment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfvrmrYG_-c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfvrmrYG_-c But I think chileans are ok with people saying we don't speak well, so it doesn't matter too much.
- fluoridation 2y agoGoddamn, is that what professional news outlets sound like? It sounds like a YouTuber trying as hard as possible to sound cool or edgy. Dude, leave the coke for after the broadcast.
- flobosg 2y ago> here's a random news segment Where the announcer is actually overpronouncing while still keeping (expectedly) some elision. In your example, Boric’s formal register is closer to what one would usually listen. > chileans are ok with people saying we don't speak well I never claimed that, I am merely addressing your “one of the most understandable” statement.
