in mexican spanish, z sounds like an s, as well as in some southern spanish dialects (from where the mexican accent comes from). however, we don't change the spelling of the word when writing, no matter the dialect we speak, as you do in english. english writing makes far less sense than spanish, yet no one complains about it. so, if i have to learn that leicester is pronounced lesta, just learn that zaragoza can be pronounced tharagotha and saragosa, but you must write zaragoza. learning new things is fun!
It's a term used by blog commenters in the U.S. to mock their fellow Americans, particularly Southern conservatives with limited information. http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/murica. (End of pedantic footnote)
"Southern conservatives with limited information." That's the most politically correct expression for rednecks I've ever seen. Many rural southerners who never did, now say 'Murica instead of America with pride, especially my relatives in the military. ( It's not pronounced in the Hispanic way, but rather Mur'-ic-uh.)
No way... "Llobregat" is the name of the river that runs through not only l'Hospitalet, but many more cities called "XXXXXX de Llobregat". So in no way "Llobregat" can be enough to identify l'Hospitalet. No one ever calls it "Llobregat".
Are you serious? They were joking- their name is even "yankee"! "murica" is short for "america". It's a pretty well known joke, usually used in the context of the dystopian level of patriotism that america is known for
Llobregat is the river that goes through L'Hospitalet and it sounds weird because L'Hospitalet is written in Catalan. So is like saying London of Thames- L'Hospitalet de Llobregat
More like Kingston upon Thames or Stoke-on-Trent or Newcastle upon Tyne which are all usually abbreviated to the first word and never to the last. However, oddly, Kingston upon Hull is always abbreviated to Hull.
Damn it. I have been to Cordoba, but I couldn't come up with its name and spent a good minute trying to figure out the name of this place north of Sevilla with the Mezquita that I had been to.
So Elche, bloody Elche, is larger than Zaragoza, Pamplona, Toledo, Cadiz, Merida, Badajoz, Caceres, Burgos, Oviedo etc.? Historic Spanish cities, I am thoroughly disappointed in you...
Santa cruz de Tenerife also has 240,000 people living there. It could fit into the top.
The Canary Islands are divided into 2, one of Las Palmas and the other of Tenerife, they both have capitals with several thousand people living there (240,000)
Ok, so I’m gonna show you an example, watch and learn
Actually cowbahamut(did I spell it correctly?) it’s actually spelt Murcia
Murica isn't a city, at lest spanish
I have a villa in Andalusia, beautiful place
