To speak in Ocho

Tweet Val. «Parlar en ocho*»

It is a mocking way to say 'speaking Spanish'.

E.g. Long ago in my village everybody spoke Valencian, now most of the people speak in ocho.

---------------------------------------------

És una manera burlesca de dir «parlar en castellà»

Ex. Abans al meu poble tot el món parlava valencià, ara quasi tots parlen en ocho.


Linguistic clarifications:

*Ocho is the number eight in Spanish.

Val. «Forasters vindran i de casa nos trauran»
«De fora vindran i de casa nos trauran»

Esta frase s’utilitza quan un foraster o nouvingut menysprea la cultura, costums i llengua del país, quan no s’hi vol adaptar.

It is used when a native Valencian remarks the inappropriate attitude of a foreigner who despises the culture and language of the Valencian country, and refuses to adapt himself to it.
