    Additionally, you have to keep these tips in mind:<\/b><\/span><\/h4>
    • If they call you\u00a0bobbin<\/b>\u00a0<\/em>either\u00a0coil<\/b><\/em>, don’t be angry. More than an insult, it is affectionate. Be worried if they call you\u00a0babayu<\/b><\/em>.<\/li>
    • If they call you life<\/b> either vidina<\/b> Don’t think they are trying to flirt with you. It is a loving way of addressing people, even if we don’t know them.<\/li>
    • Don’t think it’s bad if you hear ‘Wow you are so fit today!<\/b>‘. It’s not that it’s disgusting, but that you’re having a bad day.<\/li>
    • Here we finish everything in -in<\/b> either -ina<\/b>. It has nothing to do with size. It’s just to make it more ours. It even helps us to include the ‘please’: Can you give me a coffee?<\/b><\/li>
    • Although here in Gij\u00f3n\/Xix\u00f3n<\/b>As we are big, too we use the augmentative a lot<\/b>. Look: the Escalerona, the Molin\u00f3n, the Iglesiona, the Acerona, the Fabricona, les Letrones…<\/li>
    • By the way, it is sidrina<\/b>. Not ‘sidri\u00f1a’!\u00a0<\/b>And, you may have noticed, We put the pronouns at the end and always use the simple past<\/b>: did you understand?<\/li>
    • Attentive!<\/b> The masculine singular is -or<\/b>, the plural is -you<\/b>. And in the feminine the singular is -to<\/b> and the plural -is<\/b>. \u2018cow<\/b>‘ and ‘fabe<\/b>‘ they do not exist. Is cow<\/b> and bean<\/b>. Plural:\u00a0cows<\/b>\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Fabes<\/b><\/em><\/li>
    • Some may not have much of an accent, but you will notice that Asturian YE<\/b>, because Y.E.<\/b>: what time is it?; where are you? how handsome ye!;\u00a0Ye what’s there!<\/em>..<\/li>
    • everything is beautiful<\/b>. The bonito is a fish.<\/li>
    • For emphasis, we end the sentences in Ho!<\/b>, which is the abbreviation of home (man). You can also hear \u00a1Ne! In the end if you are a woman.<\/li>
    • \u2018go see the whale<\/b>‘ is not an invitation to a tourist attraction to observe wildlife. They are sending you for a walk.<\/li>
    • Ah! And if there is something that we like, but at the same time it is endearing to us, we say that lends us<\/b> or what ye prestosu<\/b>.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
