Comments on: Venezuelan Colloquial Spanish for English Speakers http://balafria.wordpress.com/2007/02/18/venezuelan-spanish-for-english-speakers/ Sun, 03 Jan 2010 06:20:18 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Tio http://balafria.wordpress.com/2007/02/18/venezuelan-spanish-for-english-speakers/#comment-2653 Tio Fri, 12 Jun 2009 17:52:25 +0000 http://balafria.wordpress.com/2007/02/18/venezuelan-spanish-for-english-speakers/#comment-2653 The dictionary above is already available on the internet in Spanish. Out of a personal interest, I discovered it and began to translate the dictionary to learn more colloquial words and phrases. I have kept the explanations in both languages so that words are bilingually explained (Spanish speakers from other countries are also interested in learning colloquial slang from other places!). Admittedly I have never managed to translate the entire thing into English but my Spanish is not perfect. This is a big document and it is a huge task. I have said in comments if you can help with this please post in comments. Please search the internet high and low but I can tell you now this is the closest you will come to a page which explains a large portion of Venezuelan words in English. To my knowledge there is nothing like it on the net. I am sorry if you didnt find what you were looking for but please enjoy what is here and add to it if you can.

Isn't more apt to say it's an explanation of Venezuelan idioms to other Spanish speakers. With a (very) few exceptions, the definitions are not in English...

In London we use the term bogey. it depends on where you are from but the most important thing is you get the gist of the translation. In London we use the term bogey.
