Sosua Reports

[Dickhead]

For throwing something or someone out, I'd use echar and not tirar.

[Yanqui69]

Be careful with tirar, as in tiro, for it also could mean gunshot. Ex: "Se oyo un tiro!" (I heard a gunshot). The last thing you want is to tell the chica that you want to screw her and before you know it she is running down the street, away from you, because she thinks you are going to shoot her.

Yes, it depends on the context. But would anybody hear a f*ck?

One story about a gringo who wanted to say he was going to throw somebody out into the street. "Yo voy tirarlo en la calle. ".

The Colombians present laughed and asked him why he wanted to f*ck the guy in the street.

"Tirar" in Colombia, "singar" in DR.

That is quite right and the funny thing is that the Dominicans, at least those that I know, do not know that in Spain, the word "joder" means what it means and so they are rather amused by such a "regular" word (for them, as in Jodon. Pain in the neck) having the double-entendre. The Mexicans on the other hand like to "coger". Actually the vocab for related words in the Hispanophone lands, is rather rich.

Just for a group FYI, "joder" is also slang for "to screw.

Chapiadora was first given to us by Boricuaonline and I presume it is a typical DR expression, IE. , may not be a Puerto Rican but I do not know. On Quejar (to complain / whine) etc, my personal favorite is "Jodon" or "Jodona". It very accurately reflects what the Spanish mean, when they use "Joder", and that too, rather generously.

Minor point.

Just for a group FYI, "joder" is also slang for "to screw. " But you can also use a vulgar expression. "No me joda!" (Don't bother / screw with me! The first time I heard the expression, all the "nice" ladies present acted shocked.

Second, using the word "chiquito", (very small).

The word "chiquito" is also Colombian slang for the a $$hole.

[Tempoecorto]

Among other things I learned a new word, chapiadora. After googling it, I added the word to my vocabulary. Thx to you, when somebody's talks about chapiadoras, I don't have to say "no comprende".

Shout out to Mr. Tomjackin for single handedly reminding everyone what the Sosua Reports thread is about. Take me off your list my man. LOL And to Mr. GoGo who made the following report possible.

Into the room and Chapiadora hits the shower. Comes out in a towel covering her bottom half but her bustier still on. What the what? Must be some false advertising going on is my thoughts. Good thing I'm not a breast man. She lies down crosswise on the bed and says "Dame algo" (Give me something). What the what? "Como?" I say. She says it again. Like what? Is my response. Give me clothes like a dress, give me shoes, give me earrings, give me perfume, where is my gift? Ah nah, the Cmdr got worked in the bar. Houston we have a problem. But I'm standing there alone in the room. Got to handle my business on my own this time. I tell her. I got nothing for ya. She starts in on that again and I'm like let's get started. The sooner we get started the sooner you can get out of here and find someone who has a gift for you. Now, I think I'm going to have a problem with performance out of this one. But I'm wrong. The problem is endurance. She can't take no dick. And she hurting herself because just when I'm about to give her the only gift I have (the gift of leche) she gets tired of the position and wants to change.


Fade to black (roll outo music).

I don't quite understand why she would come out asking for gifts. Why would she even think that she had something coming to her besides the agreed price.
I like this report. It has your own Sub flavor. If everyone wrote the report the same this site wouldn't be what it is.

[Dickhead]

You can take Spanish nouns and "augment" them by adding -on, -ona, or -ote. So a quejona is a great big complainer. OTOH, you make nouns similar ("diminution") by adding other suffixes. In most places, -ito and -ita are used. We've probably all heard "muy chiquito" from the chicas when we take our pants off. Chico = small, chiquito = smaller. However, other suffixes can be used, including -ico and -ica. So to me, quejica would mean a little tiny complainer, or perhaps someone with many small complaints.

The fact that Costa Ricans are very prone to using -ico and -ica, versus the more widespread -ito and -ita, is why costarriqueños are nicknamed 'ticos. '.

[Yanqui69]

Actually I heard it first time from my Peruvian girlfriend and now you made me think that I never heard Spaniards to use it. But it still sounds good. Yes, we must have checked the word from the same place. Wasn't sure if it is same form in masculine and feminine.

And I'm not saying "YOU ARE WRONG!" not at all.

Maybe the form used in Peru. If a Mexican says something is "muy padre" most of us would have no clue what that meant.
Yes, the website says its both Masculine and Feminine. I think I'd confirm that with another source.

Thanks for raising the issue, the discussion is of benefit. (Yeah, I admit, this would be better on a Spanish language thread).

Otra vez, Gracias.

Interesante.

I'm more familiar with the term quejona (Fem). Other terms for complainer I've heard are "alegona" "molestona" "llorona" "jodona" etc. (Male forms "alegon" "moleston" "lloron" "jodon".

In Colombian Spanish (Good Castellano) I'd expect to hear: "Te has vuelto quejona (Fem), lloras por cualquier cosa. ".

Is that a colloquial form in Spain?
I did a quick check, and found both forms in the dictionary. QUEJICA, and QUEJON(A). Found the same sentence example also. (wordreferencedotcom)

Muchas gracias por tu contribucion de hoy. Muy amable.

Spanish word of the day is "Quejica".

Adj. Why com. Col. Que se queja con frecuencia o exageradamente: Estas hecho un quejica, lloriqueas por cualquier cosa.

Somebody who whines and complaines all the time about everything and anything. Both masculine and feminine forms are quejica (un quejica, una quejica).

Please understand, I'm not contradicting you. That's what it says on the webpage you're referencing online, I know.
I just asked two Colombians, and they corrected me. They didn't recognize "quejica" or "estas hecho un quejica".
They insisted its: "Has vuelto quejon(a)".

Not sure how to explain the discrepancy on that website. I use it a lot myself for vocabulary.

Somebody who whines and complaines all the time about everything and anything. Both masculine and feminine forms are quejica (un quejica, una quejica). For example a girl who starts "it's too big, don't touch this, don't do that, it takes too long", is una quejica.

SubCmdr thx for your nice report. Among other things I learned a new word, chapiadora. After googling it, I added the word to my vocabulary. Thx to you, when somebody's talks about chapiadoras, I don't have to say "no comprende".

Well, thank you. And what did you learn from the longer version of the trip report that is not in the summary? Will that enhance you future travels?

Assuming for a moment, the role of a new member, searching for information on Sosua, I learned a few things not in your summary.

I learned Hotel Plaza Europa has nice rooms, is chica friendly and requires chicas to give up their cedulla to enter.

I learned the BBQ place at the beach has good food as does Morua Mai. Finding a good place to eat is always pretty high on my list of priorities.

I learned that Merengue is a good spot to find chicas, but they come at a higher price. I also learned the rates are negotiable, something every noob should know.

I learned about the tolls, driving time and amenities available on the toll road from Santo Domingo.

I learned about the little bar in front of Hotel Plaza Europa, which I think is one of the better places in Sosua to have a cold drink and relax.

I learned the Terra Linda Hotel has a nice pool, not as important to me, but probably good information for some.

I learned the 20-10-5 rule. For those who don't know it, a 10 at 20 yards is often a 5 at 10 feet.

I learned that chicas who look like they are high maintenance are often high maintenance.

There are a few things I didn't learn.

I didn't learn how much he paid for his chapiadora or what a chapiadora was, but Google answered the second part. I didn't learn how much the food, motoconcho and hotel room cost. I didn't learn whether this was just a one night stay or multiple nights (and multiple chapiadoras). I didn't learn whether viagra usage was involved or it was a baseless accusation. Through some research and a few PMs I could probably find most of the answers.

I fully support your corrections to his Spanish. I learn from them and we all know how important correct Spanish is in the DR. However, when Sub posts something useful, can't you save your vendetta for when he deserves it? I'm sure another opportunity will pop up soon.

[Frannie]

Pretty harsh coming for someone that does not write trip reports.

First off, writing a decent trip report takes a lot of time and effort. I enjoy reading what others have done with their time in other countries, and I appreciate the efforts of others that write good trip reports.

Perhaps you could travel outside of the DR, you know, like Central and South America; hell, even to a different island and report back your findings. That is why I'm on the this site, to learn from others.

I will give you credit on one thing, suggesting cheap shower caps for the chicas was the best thing I learned from you; thank you!
