anno Posted March 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I support Monterrey cause i don´t wanna see an english speaking city hosting the OG again after London 2012. In my point of view Monterrey can present us something new, we have never seen before in the Olympic history. I think the Olympics are to often in english speaking countries. That doesn´t mean that i didn´t like Sydney, Salt Lake... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guardian Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Well, it has been a while, since Barcelona 1992, when it comes to the Spanish-speaking world having the chance to host another Olympic Games. Of course, since Madrid is most likely wanting to bid for the 2016 Olympic Games, would a possible Mexican bid for these Games end up "in conflict" or "in compliment" of each other? I am saying that because there are times when I do see a bit of a "grudge match" between "English-speaking" countries or entities that want the same world championship or other international events really "duke it out."

FYI Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 The official language of the province (Cataluna) which Barcelona sits in is not Spanish, it's Catalan. Although, Spanish is widely uderstood there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, I did hear the Catalan language back then and I thought I did hear Spanish there, too. Anyway, the one thing is true is that this "international language" hasn't been heard in the Olympic Games for a while, when English and French are officially used in the Olympic Movement.

But, isn't the letter "n" with the "swirl symbol" on top constitutes a "double 'n'" in Spanish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remembering from Spanish class, the n with the funny line above it makes a "nyo" (kinda Slavic sounding) sound to it. Like the word on hand would be pronounced "anyo" but spelled "ano" with the curly line above the n. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejaycat Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 But, isn't the letter "n" with the "swirl symbol" on top constitutes a "double 'n'" in Spanish? The "swirl symbol" is called a tilde. In Spanish, the "ñ" is equivalent to the "gn" in Italian, ie., "gnocchi" is pronounced "nyoki." The French "gn" is like the Italian "gn" too, I think. And yeah, it was a news story here in LA some years ago when Spanish-named streets were changed to have the tilde added. And for good reason. There's a street called "Año Nuevo" which means "New Year." "Ano Nuevo" would mean New Anus." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baron-pierreIV Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 The "n" with the curly line (tilde is the exact term for it) is pronounced "enye" (by itself). Yes, "year" would become "ano" ("n" with the tilde.) Anus would be "culo" in Spanish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oly fan Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Hello everybody, this is my first post here, I've been following the conversations as a guest only, wondering when there'll be a topic on Monterrey. I read on other forum about a meeting between Monterrey's Mayor Alberto Madero and Mexican Olympic Committee Felipe Muñoz on Monterrey as soon as this month. Could this mean an official announcement? Would it be wise to announce before the US does? or should they wait untill the US names their city to participate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FYI Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Culo means ass. Anus is ano (with the curly line above the n). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ñuto Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Culo means ass. Anus is ano (with the curly line above the n). anus is ano,year is año,ass is culo.the ñ only exists in spanish,basque and galician.in catalan is ny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 U're wilkommen, Guard. What great depths our discussions here at GamesBids have reached!! Yeah. This topic is now deviated to how the Spanish language is spoken and written. Next thing we know, this place is where GB members start learning rudimentary Spanish. Perhaps Mikel and others here could start that here? Anyway, getting back to the topic here, what is the news about Monterrey 2016? Well, I did find some sort of a website dedicated to the cause.

Maromas Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 The most interesting thing to come is the official presention of the bid, I hope that will come soon, they have been holding the proyect underground too long... I've seen the plans, there are good, most of the venues are in 10 km radius, there have been rumors about a new stadium, but I think is just a rumor, the most probable thing will be a renovation and reconstruction, tear down some buildings and build them new, and expantion of the venues we have today. I hope the IOC chooses Monterrey to the shotlist, I think the organizers have been preparing this for 9 years, practically since they were kids, they are right now in their twenties, I was surprised when I first saw them , because they told how long they have been in the proyect.
