Hola!!
POTATO CHIPS = PAPITAS (papitas crujientes) tambien se usa la palabra PAPITAS para describir las "papitas a la francesa" So..... PAPITAS = potato chips AND french fries. Cómo se diferencéa? Depende de la conversación. Si estas en McDonald's y pides papitas.....you get french fries o si estas en el super y buscas papitas vas a encontrar Potato Chips. I hope this helps Elaina |

What's the deal with patatas & papas? I've never heard anyone say patatas (Mexicans/Central Americans).

As far as I know everybody in South America says "papas", not patatas.

In my experience, papas is a lot more common in Mexico than patatas.

Fortunately for this great website, we know both words! I am studying Spain version of Spanish but live in San Diego, California (close to the Mexican border if you don´t know), so I actually want (and need) to know both.
Thanks David!

That's right! You're just a few minutes from Tijuana. You shouldn't have any problem getting in your Spanish practice. Have you ever been across to Tijuana?

how to say
For pleasure ~ a very long time ago. I was young and with my father. I remember a taxi ride from hell, but that's about all.
For work ~ about 5 years ago. The company I worked for had a Maquiladora in Tijuana and I would go down and assist with desktop support (computer troubleshooting). I was nervous the instant we crossed the border and didn't relax until we crossed back over the border. I hear so many horror stories about people being arrested for minor things and coerced into giving money. I remember hearing a story about an American who was in a car accident. He badly needed medical attention but they would not allow him to seek help until he paid money. He didn't have much, and essentially died. You lose ALL your rights when you cross that border, so I have no desire to go down there. I'll keep my feet planted right here in the good ol' US of A. David - where do you live?
