Argentina ( / ˌ ɑr dʒ ən ˈ t i n ə /), officially the Argentine Republic (Spanish: República Argentina, pronounced [reˈpuβlika arxenˈtina]), is the second largest country in South America, constituted as a federation of 23 provinces and an autonomous city, Buenos Aires. It is the eighth-largest country in the world by land area and the largest among Spanish-speaking nations, though Mexico, Colombia and Spain are more populous. Argentina's continental area is between the Andes mountain range in the west and the Atlantic Ocean in the east. It borders Paraguay and Bolivia to the north, Brazil and Uruguay to the northeast, and Chile to the west and south. Argentine claims over Antarctica, as well as overlapping claims made by Chile and the United Kingdom, are suspended by the Antarctic Treaty of 1961. Argentina also claims the Falkland Islands (Spanish: Islas Malvinas) and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, which are administered by the United Kingdom as British Overseas Territories. Argentina is a founding member of both the United Nations, Mercosur and the Union of South American Nations. Argentina is one of the G-20 major economies. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License What is the best website for Spanish vocabulary of Argentina not slang, but common words? Q. I've been studying Spanish eight years now and become accustomed to different regions of the Spanish speaking words using different vocabulary for the exact same objects. I'm going to Rosario, Argentina in January and I wanted to know which words are commonly used in Argentina to refer to everyday things. For instance I've heard that instead of platano they say banana and instead of strawberry they may say frutilla. I'm looking for things like that.

What will happen to Park Chu-young who deflected in a free kick from Messi and made the first goal for Argentina. Asked by Greed - Thu Jun 17 11:55:49 2010 - - 13 Answers - 0 Comments A. 1. Huh Jung Moo is a real idiot. Why the hell did he call up Oh bum Suk over Cha Duri? Why the hell did he use 4-5-1 tactics instead of 4-4-2? We always use 4-4-2, that's our strongest formation. Why the hell did Park Ji Sung play attacking mid field, he's a winger. Ki Sung Yong should play center/attacking mid field but instead he played right and sub him out with a defensive mid, Kim Nam il, when we were losing 2-1. 2. Oh bum suk is the worst left back we ever have 3. Yeom Ki Hun can't finish for sh*t. Ironicaly, he was only picked because he is left footed. However, becuase he couldn't shoot with his right, he screwed up which could have change everything ( it could have been 2-2 and things could have been different). 4.
