cedros 984 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Crow and Raven are different species but here they are called the same-Cuervo. Does any one know the proper Spanish name for Raven? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cedros 984 Posted November 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Since my post I've noticed that Raven is always called Cuervo. Crow is often called the same but sometimes Corneja. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AngusMactavish 3,275 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 I believe it is cuervo grande. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
modeeper 256 Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 That's right. The locals have a far less detailed species classification list. Not just animals. There's a rule in linguistics that states, the more words a culture has for an item the more interest there is in that item. They have 40 words for children, some are based in indigenous language groups but just about everyone knows a bunch of them. So look where we Gringos stand .. Children, kids, offspring, drape apes, rug rats. I can't think of any more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
