A waiter or waitress is traditionally defined as a “servant who waits at tables.” In English, the emphasis is placed on the act of waiting. In Spanish, however, the focus tends to shift toward the table itself: One common term is mesero, derived from mesa (“table”). Another term used is mozo, which can mean “boy,” “servant,” or “waiter,” depending on the context.

"La comida es un poco caro."
?
Caro is supposed to agree with the noun it describes, right?

El #neerlandés / #holandés es al inglés, lo que el #portugués es al #español / #castellano.
No, no significa nada, pero tenía ganas de decirlo. 
“Es un gusto conocerla.”
How do we know that somebody is a woman? Can I just use conocerlo to avoid offense (b/c Spanish speakers often go with masculine gramatical gender for groups) or should I do something else?
It would be helpful to gather a multitude of responses from our native #español speakers here, non-binary folks and women, so boosts are appreciated.

This is a #graphic that I came up with a few years ago. It has the slogan in 7 languages: #Spanish, #Arabic, #Hebrew, #English, #Esperanto, #Farsi, and #French.
I just had a vendor on Etsy make me a few #tshirts with it, and if you want one for yourself let me know. (I don't make or sell them, only the vendor does.)

So. What’s the best language learning app that hasn’t sold out to AI BS?
A mí me gusta mucho el canal de ciencia popular mexicano Jefillysh https://www.youtube.com/@jefillysh.
Ella tiene una manera muy entretenida de contar y explicar. Se nota que sabe de qué está hablando, pero hay una cosa que a menudo me irrita: Usa constantemente la palabra "eventualmente" como sinónimo de "al final" ("eventually" en inglés).
¿Ustedes conocen otros "amigos falsos"¹?

Soy sauce.
Hola sauce, me llamo papa.
Do I know anyone from #argentina ? I wanted to ask if https://youtu.be/m1Bu4sLXriw and other https://elfuturoimposible.org/ videos have subtitles available on Argentinian YouTube?
Spanish speakers and fellow students, can you recommend media that has good queer and/or indigenous representation? One thing I dislike about Dreaming Spanish is the heteronormativity, the whiteness, so I'm trying to diversify what I'm engaging with.
