things over to Sebastian, who will tell us a little more about the Fiesta of the Vendymia. Thanks, Mark. Thanks, Annabelle. Today, we are talking about Fiesta of the Vendimia in Argentina. Empecemos. The Fiesta of La Vendimia, also known as Fiesta Mademannes, is a celebration popular that's originor in Argentina, concretely, in the province of Mendoza. His first celebration

took place in the year 1936. Until the year 19886 was celebrions derivated of issues of social-economic, cultural, or

medio-ambiental. But, but from that moment, 1886, was continued celebrating in an interrupated.

The Fiesta of the Vendimia reflects the celebration of the uba converted in and alabba the duro

work that does vignators during the koseches, as like to the other people

that form part of the important process of the work

of the bodegas or the laboratories that are that the

fabrication. This fiesta consta four parts. The Bendition of the fruits, the Via

Blanca of the Reynas, the Carousel, and the Acto Central,

which is the most important and representative. This ultimate is a reclame

of international and has a celebration grandiosa. The place in

which has the great event is the Teatro Greek Frank

Romeo Day. In it, it's a spectacle artistic of the

light and a lot of many ballerines, other of famous actors locales.

Previally to this day, they celebrate festejos in the different departments.

In each one of them, it's a reina departmental that then then

declared a the Fiesta of the Vendymia as the Second Fiesta Most Most Most Most The Cacheca most The Famousa Action of Grasias Thanksgiving. You anima's to visitar it? Very well, then we're

to re-leer the text and to talk a bit of the grammatica, of the vocabulary and all the language that there. Stupendombe. We're going.

The Fiesta of the Vendimia also known as a Fiesta of the Mendocino is a celebration

popular that's originally in Argentina in the province of Mendoza Okay

so the Fiesta of the Bendimia So Bendimia is the Wayne Harvest

Yes Okay also known as Fiesta Madre of the

Mendoci is also known as the Mother Fife festival, the main festival

de los Mendocinos. Los Mendocinos are the people from Mendoza or Mendoza. It seems strange to say Mendoza when we're talking about Argentina because that would obviously be Mendoza in Argentina as Sebastian read it.

You would say Mendoza. Yes, I would say Mendoza. Fair does. So it is, it's a celebration, it's a popular celebration, that's a originate in Argentina, which originated in

Argentina, concretely in the province of Mendoza, principally or specifically in the province of Mendoza, Mendoza. His first celebration took in the year 1936. Until the year 1986,

he celebrated with interruptions derived of issues, socio-economics, cultural or environmental. But from that moment, 1998

was he continued celebrating in interrupated Okay, quite technical information there we have some

dates again see if you can spot these days its first celebration took place in the year in the year 1936

that is 1936 until the year 1886 until the year 1980s until the year 1980.

86, se celebros unterruptions. It was celebrated with interruptions. So some years it was celebrated, some years it wasn't. And these interruptions were derivas de as a result of, or they derived from political issues

on asuntos socio-economic issues, cultural or medio-ambentales. So they were also cultural or environmental issues. But from that moment, since then, 1986, she continued celebrating, it continued celebrating, or being celebrated,

in an uninterrupted way without interruption. We got there eventually. The Fiesta of the Bendimia Refleja the celebration of the Ova converted in Vino and alaba the duro-trable the winiateros during the

Cosechas. Right. So, the Fiesta of the Vendymnia, the Festival of the Vendymia, reflect the celebration of the grapes. The uva is the singular in Spanish, but referring it kind of represents the grapes, converted in Vino turned into wine.

So we've got lauba converted in vina. Grape turned into wine. And alava, so that's alabar to praise. So alava elava eliza eliza the hard work that realizan los piniateros.

So a little swap round of subject and verb here, which realizan los bignateros which the wine growers realize or which they do. during the and bianteros is a word that it's only used in Argentina and Chile

that I didn't know in the rest of the countries then it's used biticultor but bigniatoro in Argentina and Chile then yeah but to be honest I think that biantero is easier to understand in all the countries than viticultur but it's the word that it's used okay good to know

as as the other people that form part of the important

process of the work the work or the laboratories

or the laboratories that are the continuation of this sentence so not only does

it celebrate or praise the hard work of the wine growers or the winegrors

rather the wine growers as as well as the other people as well as

the other people who formant part, who form part or who are part, of the important process of preparing the wine, the preparation of the wine, the preparation of the veneau, like the workers in the cellars, or the laboratories,

that help with its fabrication, with its making, who helped to make it. Okay, so far we've learned a little about the Fiesta de la Vendemia and the why it's celebrated.

Let's find out more about this important festival. This fiesta consists of four parts. The Bendition of the Fruits, the Bia Blanca of the Reinas, the carousel and the acto central,

which is the most important and representatio. Okay. This fiesta consta. So this festival consists. Consta de four parts. It consists of four parts. And earlier or in another episode, we saw consistir in.

So that would be consist of, but here we've got constar de. Is there a difference between consistir and constar? Actually, they are like, the same and we can use both. The only thing that we need to keep in mind is that the conjugation is a little bit different because it's constar and

consist and then the proposition. Yes, so an ER verb with constar and then an IR verb with consistir and as you said is constar de the preposition we use de and the en in consistir. Okay, so it consists of four parts.

La Bendition de los Fruitos, that's the blessing of the fruit. La Via Blanca de las Reinas, the White Way of the Queens, the Carousel, the Carousel, and the Acto Central Act, which is the most important and the most representative. This one is a reclamo of interest international

and has a celebration grandiosa. Okay, so this last one, this acto central, is a reclamo. It's a claim of interest international, international interest and it has a grandiose celebration. Let's come back to Esun Reclamo de Interest International.

Can you help us with this? So, um, something that people want, that they want to get. So it's, um, like to get again. Uh-huh. So that's why we have like that reen,

reclamo. Okay. So am I right in thinking that for example if, um, let's, say a theme park launched a new roller coaster. They had this fabulous new roller coaster. And is this the reclamo that makes people want to come to visit that particular attraction? Yes, that's exactly it. Okay. So in this case, it's perhaps a lure for people to come from all countries. It's a claim of international interest. It's a bad translation. But it lures people to come

from other countries and it's a grandiose celebration. Yeah, we got there eventually. Good. Okay, let's continue. The place in the place this grand event is the theater Greek Frank Romeo Day.

And in it, it's a spectacle artistical artistic of light and sound in which participates more of 1,000 ballarines, also of famous actors locales.

All right. So this is our central act, is the acto central. And the place in in which, the venue in which this place, this event

takes place, and it's funny because the place in your place, in Spanish, the place in which it takes place, this great event,

this great event, is the Teatro Greek-Grigo, Frank Romeo-Dey. So it's the Greek theater, the Frank Romeo-Dade Greek theater. In him,

it's a spectacle, a spectacle artistic of light of sound in which an artistic spectacle

of light and sound is presented in the in which participate more of many

thousand dancers perform or take part and the famous actors local

as well as famous local actors previously previously a day

In each one of which is a one of which, a one of which a reina departmental, in each one of which a departmental or a local queen is elected, that then

Okay, we've been talking about wine in this episode And we're going to be joined now by Marina.

Hello, Marina. Do you like the wine? Yes, me much, the wine. And to me also. But, we're going to be a expression related to

the wine, no? Yes, the expression of today is ni-arto of wine. Okay, so not even fed up with wine. Yeah.

I think we need a little bit of an explanation as to how this works. What does this mean this expression? Okay. It has a significant

quite literal because if when when someone is a lot of is that has been much wine

for what we're that we're bornish. Okay, so if you're a lot of wine,

it means that you've drunk a lot of wine and therefore you're probably a little bit tipsy. So when

we say that when we're a little bit tipsy we're not very aware of what we do not we're doing

of our actions if we're not we're not

we're not or not enough or not that

we're that we're that we wouldn't even do that

even if you were drunk that kind of idea yeah that's it so we are like

saying no no no I'm not doing that not even drunk okay

so I would never do such a thing not even if I were drunk and not in control of my actions, that kind of thing.

So, ni aato de vino. Is it always vino? Well, there are loads of different things. You could even say, no area eso, ni barracho, or ni arto de whiskey. Okay.

So, no, I wouldn't even do that drunk. I wouldn't even do that if we were drunk on whiskey. What else? Yeah, if, imagine if you came to Andalusia, because here we are like very expressive, we would say niharto vino

ni harto vino so harto is an Andalusian version of Arto yeah

love it okay ni harto vino and all the time here we're using a conditional

no a conditional so it's just ending a ria no would not iria

any art of bino ni art of bisch if we're in Andalusia yeah

and you could say something like No, not even as a joke. Not even joking, I would do that. So when you're very sure you're not doing a thing, there are some different expressions you can use in Spanish.

Can you give us an example in a sentence then? Let's, for example, we can say, my brother, me have invited to do paracadism. But he said, that I don't do that, Okay, so my brother invited me to go skydiving, paracaidism. But I told them that I am not doing that. Ni arta de vino, not even if I were drunk.

And you've used a present tense there. No, I'm not doing that even drunk. Yeah, I've used the present tense. You could say you could use a conditional as well, but I am so sure I am not doing that that I can tell you in the present tense I am not doing it. And are you paracadism, too?

No. No. No art of wine. No, well, thanks, Marina, and, well,

we're going to be, Mark, thanks to you. Well, yeah is, Annabel. Much thanks. It has been

very interesting. So, much thanks to Marina, to Sebastian, a Tis and to our our A lot of our
