No, all of our road signs are in both languages and when we get an official document, it is in Castillian Spanish on the one side and Valencian on the other. Just make sure you are reading the correct side!

We will be moving to Valencia from the states this summer and will probably come across more of this, I assume? Hopefully, Valencian will not veer too far off!

Hola! In the Valencia region, where they have Valenciano as their language, all words that end in DAD in Spanish end in TAT in Valenciano, Universidad-universitat. It’s not Spanish, it’s Valencian

I received an online expat newsletter every morning and have noticed that some “dad” words are spelled with “tat”…universitat y comunitat for example. Does this translate the same way?

Thanks!

Hola! Its donde has estado toda mi vida. It’s definitely a tricky one, you are in fact asking them: where have you been at all my life, rather than where have you been to all my life….

Gracias!!!

Thanks James, makes sense!

Hola! Sorry John, I don’t know why I’m only getting notification of this comment now early 24 hours later!
The answer is as follows : for everyone, you have three way ways of saying it in Spanish: todo el mundo, toda la gente, todas las personas, the first two are a collective singular, la gente, even though you were saying that there are multiple people, it’s always estaba, think of it in English, like saying “the crowd” the crowd was singing…. so with the first two options you would use estaba and with todas las personas it would be estaban. But they are not interchangeable….. hope this helps!

Hola! No, mostrar is latin american, enseñar is what we use her is Spain, Duolingo strikes again!
