You Bet Your Life – Ramiro G. Gonzales

Yes, you did a great job! I thank you. You cover my questions. I thought I was going to have ask you what ‘de’ mean, but you covered that part to, it was like you read my mind. I think that is my first time seeing a name like that, with the ‘de’.

Yes, you are correct. The ‘ez’ makes last names! A Latin girl always keeps her name and adds her husband’s. Ex: Teresa Rodriguez de Gonzalez. Her maiden name is Rodriguez the ‘DE’ means ‘OF’ Gonzalez, which makes her the wife of Gonzalez. I hope I was clear! And I am glad I was able to clarify your questions the first time!

Thank you, for teaching me. You worded everything perfect, and I was able to understand you. About the last names: gonzalez, lopez, and sanchez. Do the (ez) on the end make the names become last names? I just noticed, that each name has a (ez) on the end. Also, there was another question. If a latina girl gets married, which part of her name changes?

Your last example has 3 last names..gonzalez lopez sanchez are all last names, not middle names. In latin america is customary to use the father’s lastname and the mother’s as well. Example: Ramiro (1st name) Miguel (middle name) Gonzalez (father’s lastname) Lopez (mother’s lastname). Long name but latinos are used to it so its not that long (do i even make semse! Lololol?). Ramiro Miguel Gonzalez Lopez. 🙂

This was a good classic comedy show by Mr. Gonzales. Spanish names are a little different from english. English the name is always read as: first name, middle name, and father last name. How do Spanish names read? Is it first name, father last name, and middle name? or is the mother last name included too, some where? For example: John Gonzales Lopez <— what part is the middle name. Another example: John Gonzales Lopez Sanchez <— how do I read a name like this, what are the parts of the names here? This is something that always confused me.

I’ve seen this clip many times and it still makes me laugh. I do wonder if it was scripted.

I love these old clips. Mr. Gonzales sure is a character plus he’s comedian and didn’t know it. I’d like to think he is still with us. Thanks for sharing the video. 😀
