Does anyone every notice that Colombians say the pharse "IT'S OKAY" when they have no idea what your talking about.

utopiacowboy says on Feb 4, 2005, 22:31: What? I have never heard a Colombian use either "OK" or "Wow". I take that back - there was one guy but he had lived in the US so he doesn't count. I had thought OK was a universal word but I guess not. My wife is only just now starting to use it after a year here and she says it with her adorable accent. Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult. 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

utopiacowboy says on Feb 5, 2005, 15:32: Now that I find interesting, DW. Did she always say it? When my wife says it, she says it like it's some new food that she's tasting. She's not quite sure about it. Her OKs never come out quite like OKs. They always come out like maybes.

I can't tell you how many times a day I tell my wife, "You crack me up!". Where did she learn to say WOW?

N2Aquatix says on Feb 8, 2005, 04:07: Okay My girl says "Okay baby," all the time. She also says "hello," when she answers the phone and "bye bye." I must admit that I taught her to say baby, but the rest was already in her vocabulary. And yes, the accent is adorable UC. ;-)
