Had an old acquaintance tell me he always put cheese in coffee, I don’t remember if he added creamer or not. Apparently he said it was a puertorriqueño thing? Was I being gaslit or is this an actual thing?

      I’m lowkey a hispanic larper. I’m basically illiterate in Spanish and only somewhat conversationally fluent.

        Thats all too common tho. I am fluent, but all my education is in English, so there are technical things I struggle with. If you know where to look or listen you might even pick it out.

          Fair enough! Tengo un pregunta pues, si es bien a pedirlo

          …nunca he oído de…

          No se que gramática “he” es. Nunca vi eso. ¿Que es?

          And since I don’t trust myself to have phrased that correctly, I’m not familiar with the “he” thing. What part of speech is that? I imagine it’s referring to yourself but I haven’t seen that form at all

            Sure. It means “I have”. I think its the past perfect/present in grammar? I am not sure.

            No he comido -> I have not ate.

            The he is not really a verb it just kind of modifies what comes after. It comes from Haber rather than Tener.

            Pretty much all of my education is in English, so I cannot really explain it well.
