Blog Post 3: Matrimonio

Posted by Amanda Millatt in Spanish 3 - Gierke on


Last week was about understanding dating in Spanish speaking countries and now it is all about marriage. This week I talked to a 35 year old teacher from Colombia who was very willing to talk to me about marriage. To help understand my conversation, there are a list of vocabulary below. 

Vocabulary


Casamiento/Matrimonio - marriage 

Pareja- partner/ pair 

Vigencia- validity 

Cédula-  identity card 

Juzgado- court 

Reclamar- to claim

llenar- to fill out 

Coincidir- to coincide 

Catolicos- Catholic 

Pedir- to ask 

Vendidas- sold 

Tribu- tribe

Entregado- Selfless 

Marido- husband 


Summary 

If the conversation was to difficult to understand I can give a quick summary. 

  • Marriage in Columbia is just like marriage in the United States  
  •  Some people never get married, but do live together or civil unions
  • They have reception type dinners where the whole family come together  
  • They have to get everything approved by the courts 
  •  In some indigenous tribes they have a form of arranged marriage; they sell the women.
