Why was the purge of Haitians in the Dominican Republic called the "parsley massacre"?
In 1937, Trujillo, the dictator of the Dominican Republic, ordered a purge of the Haitian population that lived in the border area between the two states, which went down in history as the "parsley massacre." The total number of victims was, according to various estimates, from 17 to 37 thousand people. The action owes its name to one of the ways in which the Dominican soldiers separated the Haitians from their compatriots.
They would show the person a sprig of parsley (perejil in Spanish) and ask what it was. The Dominicans, who have spoken Spanish since childhood, pronounced the second consonant as “r”, but the French and Creole-speaking Haitians pronounced the same sound as “l”, which immediately gave themselves away.

Which European city has a rebus motto?
On the coat of arms, flag and other symbols of the Spanish Seville, you can see her motto-rebus - NO8DO. In fact, in the middle of the motto is not an eight, but a skein of wool, which in Spanish is called "madeja". The resulting phrase "No madeja do" sounds the same as "No me ha dejado", which means "She did not leave me". According to legend, these words were given to the city in the 13th century by King Alfonso X the Wise after his son tried to revolt and take power into his own hands, but the Sevilles remained loyal to the ruler.

Which language has two question marks around an interrogative sentence?
In Spanish, an interrogative sentence is accompanied by two question marks: one is, as usual, at the end of the sentence, and the other is at the beginning, and inverted. For example, the phrase "How are you?" in Spanish it would be "¿Cómo estás?". In Arabic and Persian, one question mark is used, but mirrored - ؟. In Greek, the semicolon plays the role of a question mark.

Why do Mexicans call Americans "gringos"?
One of the nicknames for Americans is gringo, especially in Mexico and other countries of Latin America. The term originated in Spain, where it was used for any foreigner who did not speak Spanish well. In all likelihood, the word "gringo" comes from "griego", that is, "Greek", which brings it closer to the English idiom regarding the incomprehensible speech "Greek to me".

How was a French novel translated into Russian, in which there is not a single letter "e"?
In 1969, French writer Georges Perec's novel La disparition was published. One of the key features of the novel is that it does not contain a single letter "e" - the most common letter in French. By the same principle - without the letter "e" - the book was translated into English, German and Italian. In the Spanish translation, the letter “a” was abandoned, and in the Russian translation by Valery Kislov called “Disappearance”, the letter “o” was abandoned, because it is the most frequent in the Russian language.

What language does French have lexical similarities with above the dialect threshold?
Ethnologue, the world's largest directory of languages, among other data, publishes information about the lexical similarity of different languages, calculating it as a percentage based on a comparison of a standardized list of words. Among the globally spoken languages of the Indo-European group, the highest similarity is in 89% speak Spanish with Portuguese and, more surprisingly, French with Italian. For comparison, according to this method, Russian and English languages have a similarity of 24%.
At the same time, the indicator of 85% serves as an indicator that two languages can be considered as dialects of one.

In what language is the concept of the time axis the opposite of our usual "future in front, past behind"?
In the language of the Aymara - the people of the same name living in the Andes - the concept of the time axis is fundamentally different from that observed in all other languages of the planet.
The projection of time on space that we are accustomed to assumes that the future is in front and the past is behind, but in the Aymara language, the opposite is true. The word for the past in it has a different meaning of "in front", and even the gestures of Aymara speakers, especially the elderly and unfamiliar with the grammar of the Spanish language, emphasize this. Although many young Aymara who speak Spanish fluently use traditional signs for us, which indicates a reorientation of their way of thinking about time.

January 30 King Philip VI of Spain turns 54 years old. During his reign, he managed to create the image of an ideal family man, a loving husband and father. We talk about the head of the solar kingdom and his closest relatives.
Tatler
King Felipe VI
Felipe Juan Pablo Alfonso de Todos los Santos de Borbón i Grecia is the third child in his family after the coronation of his father, but the only son, therefore, Juan Carlos, it was he who became the heir to the throne. As befits such a situation, the prince received an excellent education - he studied in Canada for a year, then returned to his homeland to serve in the Military Academy, the Navy School and the Air Force Academy, then studied law and economics, and finally became a master of international relations from Georgetown University in USA.
In a busy study schedule, Philip found time for serious sports. So serious that at 19In 92, he entered the Olympic sailing team and even became the standard bearer of the Spanish team. Another hobby of Philip is directing. In 1996, he directed three of the ten episodes of the documentary series Wild Spain.
November 1, 2003, Philippe, who had previously carefully concealed his personal life, announced his engagement to journalist Letizia Ortiz. Later it turned out that they had met the year before, and Letizia refused four times to go on a date with the heir to the throne. But then she could not stand his persistence. The family did not approve of Philip's choice too much - a journalist, also divorced. However, history has shown that he does not change his decisions.
At the beginning of the summer of 2014, 76-year-old Juan Carlos I abdicated the throne, all the formal issues were settled in a couple of weeks, and on June 19, Philip VI officially ascended the throne, becoming the youngest reigning monarch in Europe (he still retains this title).
Having taken the throne in the midst of the economic crisis in the country, the young and progressive ruler first cut his own salary by 20% - to about 230 thousand euros. Moreover, he decided to publish all the income and expenses of the royal family on the Internet and forbade his immediate family from working for private companies and accepting expensive gifts. It turned out that the maintenance of the royal family costs Spanish taxpayers $ 9million a year. For comparison, a British family spends $58 million according to official figures, but many believe that this figure is greatly underestimated.
Among Philip's other initiatives, he became the first Spanish king to officially invite representatives of the LGBT community to the palace. The Spanish king has repeatedly been included in the ratings of the most beautiful men on the planet, and he also appears in the Guinness Book of Records as the tallest prince in the world - his height is 1.97 m.0144
Letizia is the first Spanish queen born in Spain and also the first divorced Spanish queen.
But before she acquired all these titles, she was a very successful and sought-after journalist. She chose her profession following the example of her father, moreover, quite early - from the age of 10 she already worked on the radio. Then Letitia switched to television, and in 2000 she even received the prestigious Larra Award. In her personal life, too, everything was stable - in 1998, after ten years of romance, she married a school teacher. True, the official marriage lasted less than a year.
The second marriage turned out to be more successful - at one of the receptions for journalists at the end of 2002, Letizia met Prince Philip of Asturias. Nothing is known about how their relationship developed over the next year - the couple's romance was kept in strict confidence, and it became known only after the announcement of the engagement. At the time of the meeting with Letizia, Philip, according to his parents, had already sat up in bachelors - they even tried to bring him together with the Swedish Crown Princess Victoria.
May 22, 2004 in the Madrid Cathedral of Santa Maria la Real de la Almudena, the wedding of Letizia and Philip took place. The bride walked down the aisle in a custom-made Manuel Pertegaz dress and a platinum tiara with diamonds, presented to her by her mother-in-law Queen Sofia.
In October 2005, the couple had a daughter, Leonor, and in April 2007, Sofia.
As Queen, Letizia does a lot of charity work and social activities, but this is not what she became famous for - she deserved the title of one of the most stylish representatives of the world's monarchies. During public events, King Philip's wife actively supports Spanish brands, including very democratic ones, such as Zara and Mango.

Infande Leonor and Infand Sofia
By law, the Spanish throne is passed through the male line, but since Philip and Letitia had two daughters, Leonor became the heiress. On her 13th birthday, she gave her first official speech at the Instituto Cervantes in Madrid. Otherwise, the performance of royal duties on her part is limited to periodic trips abroad with her parents and exits during special occasions. Named after her paternal grandmother, Sofia was born on April 29, 2007. She goes to the same school as her older sister. Both girls are learning English. Moreover, at home with his daughters, King Philip speaks exclusively in English. Leonor also teaches French, Arabic and Mandarin.
Princesses are not spoiled - they live in the same room, do not use mobile phones and hardly watch TV. But Leonor, for example, is fond of photography and, they say, is making progress in this field.

9000 Juan Carlos I received a Spanish crown not from his father - he was not transported by the rule by the will of the dictator Francisco Franco, who ruled the country from 1936 to 1975. Juan Carlos was born in Italy, where his family was forced to flee from the Franco regime, and returned to his homeland only in his teens, having received permission from the caudillo. Arriving in Spain, Juan Carlos began to study military affairs, jurisprudence and economics.
Juan Carlos I
When the future king was 18, he and his 14-year-old brother Alfonso spent the Easter holidays in Portugal. While playing with a loaded revolver, Alfonso died. The circumstances of his death are still unknown, it is only clear that the gun was in the hands of Juan Carlos at the time of the shot.
At first, the Spaniards believed that the reign of Franco's henchman would not last long, but the king proved himself to be a strong leader, carrying out a series of reforms and suppressing more than one coup attempt.
It was he who in 2005 legalized same-sex marriage in the country.
Even more than reforms, during his reign there were scandals. In 2012, 74-year-old Juan Carlos I traveled secretly to Botswana to hunt elephants. And he was accompanied by his longtime mistress, 48-year-old German aristocrat Corinna Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn. And no one would have known about this rendezvous if the Spanish king had not broken his hip, and he had not been sent to Madrid on a special flight. Most of all, the subjects were outraged not by the fact that the king cheated on his wife or killed animals, but by the fact that this trip cost about 40 thousand euros. And this is during a serious economic crisis. The king had to apologize to the people.
2012 was full of scandals for Juan Carlos. In addition to the story of the elephants and the mistress, the then 42-year-old resident of Belgium went to court, wanting to prove that the king of Spain is her father. Taking advantage of his judicial immunity, Juan Carlos hushed up the case.
June 2, 2014, Juan Carlos I announced that he intends to abdicate, transferring power to his son Philip. “I have decided to end my reign and abdicate the Spanish crown. This is necessary to overcome and correct the mistakes of the past, this is dictated by the will to upgrade and the desire for a better future.” According to the king, the decision was dictated by the state of his health and age. However, it can be assumed that another scandal also affected him - the daughter of Juan Carlos Cristina and her husband at that moment were accused of major fraud.
For the next five years after his abdication, Juan Carlos continued to perform some public duties. At the end of May 2019, he announced that he was ending his public activities on behalf of the crown.

Queen Sofia
Wife Huan Carlos Sofia was born in the family of the King of Greece Pavl I.
her future husband, she spent her childhood in exile - during the Second World War, Sofia lived in Egypt and South Africa. She graduated from high school in Germany and continued her studies at Cambridge.
The future Queen of Spain met Juan Carlos in 1954 on board a luxury cruise ship owned by her father. After that, they did not see each other for six years, and in 1960 at the Olympic Games in Rome they met again, again on board the ship, where a gala reception organized by the Greek royal family was held. It is said that Sofia, seeing Juan Carlos with a mustache that he did not have during their first meeting, took his hand, took him to the bathroom and shaved it off. Two years later they got married in Athens. And after another 13 years, Juan Carlos became the king, and she, respectively, the queen of Spain.
In marriage, they had three children: two daughters - Elena and Christina, and son Philip, who inherited the throne.
In major scandals, like her husband, Sophia was not noticed, but she also periodically got into the front pages of the press for very dubious reasons - either she would publicly quarrel with her daughter-in-law, or she would speak out in favor of a ban on abortion or against same-sex marriages officially allowed by Juan Carlos.
