I have an old Coca-Cola tray that says "Coca-Cola le da mucho mas" on
one side. The other side says "Coca-cola refresca mejor." I'm
probably doing something wrong with google, but I can't figure out
what language it is. Anyone have a clue what it is?

TIA,

AltaVista BabelFish Spanish to English translates as:

"Coca-Cola le da mucho mas" = "Coca-Cola gives much him but"

"Coca-cola refresca mejor." = "Coca-Cola refreshes better."

It's probably one of those marketing *******izations of the
language. Kinda like the ebonic, "we be lovin it".

"le da Mucho mas" means "gives (the person) much more". Perhaps you were
trying to translate from Greek to Babylonian? :-)

Nope, just did a cut and paste from the original post....didn't notice the
missing accent on mas (más) :-)

Obviously it's Spanish.

Coca-Cola le da mucho mas = Coca Cola gives you much more.

Coca-Cola refresca mejor. = Coca Cola refreshes better.

YES YES YES! They *do* speak "spinich". It's really funny to hear
them say that, but it's also a big clue why their vowels are all wrong
in English.

Actually, they speak "español". not "spanish" or "spinish". In español,
español sounds fine. It's English that has the vowels all wrong...trust me
on that one.

From a lot of the replies to this topic, many of our
posters know a lot less Spanish than they think they do.
I suspect these are the same people who criticize
foreigners for their attempts to speak English.

It gives much more

Close -
le = it
Da = gives (darse) (reflexive verb ergo the need for the word le)
Mucho Much
mas = More

Much more what I know not.

Similarly, Montréal was from about 1780 until 1830ish a predominantly
English-speaking city as it was the centre of commerce along the Saint-
Laurent. It's only after the demographic changes brought about by
increased survival rates that they started migrating to the city and
changed that (for the better, I might add :-) ).

By coincidence the L.A. Times printed this story yesterday about the
growing use of Spanish by local politicians. Bi-lingual press
conferences and meetings with constituents, and so forth. Asked about
going to Mexico for language immersion classes, one council member
said, no, I just go for a walk in my district.... -aem

I must say I am amazed they spelled "español" properly. I suspect that
if you looked not too hard you could find such *******izations such as
"alla mode" and "tortierre" in the food section of the very same
newspaper.

Lou,
As others have correctly mentioned the language is Spanish,
A good English grammatical translation of "Coca-Cola le da mucho mas"
would be "Coca-Cola--it is the one that gives much more." or, better
yet in the "Spanglish" spoken here in NYC--"The Coca Cola! (S)he
gives so much more!"
English used to have the same grammatical construction, but it is
seldom used today. E.g., "Johnny, he of little intelligence, wants to
vote for Obama in the upcoming presidential election."
En Ingles, we simply punctuate it differently than en Espanol, but
the words mean the same.
Not to provoke you in any way, but I have to ask you, in what part
of the United States are you not exposed to Spanish in your day-to-day
existence these days? A curious mind want to know.

What the **** would make you think that all Americans have to
understand - let alone speak - Spanish?

Unless we need our roof replaced, our weeds pulled, or our hotel
rooms cleaned, I just don't see myself speaking Mexican.

Because, of course, Mexico is the ONLY place they speak Spanish,
and ALL Mexicans are day laborers at Sqwertz's disposal.

When I had gardeners they were Chinese. I doubt that that would be
easy, any more, though.

English, or, as I'm sure refer to it as "American", surely should be
recognized as the official language of the United States. I whole
heartedly agree with this. However, this is a forum about food and not
about the current immigration trends and the fact that many people
here in the US--whether LEGAL or illegal speak Spanish.
Personally, as a resident of New York City--where Spanish is spoken
on the streets (as are about another 100 languages or so), I try to be
courteous and accomodating when I visit an ethnic restaurant. I DO
NOT expect the staff to speak fluent English. On the other hand, if I
were to frequent Taco Bell, McDonalds, or Wendys (which I would
suppose to be your restaurants of choice)--I would expect to be
greeted in English, which is not the case.
However, you are showing your ignorance, when you say that I
advocate that the average Americans must "speak" or "understand"
Spanish. I did not say this in any form.
When going to a French restaurant and you want chicken, you must
order "Poulet avec..." When going to a Spanish restaurant, you must
order "Pollo con..." etc.
What is lost on you?
Oh, I see from this your true bias as a troll:

>Unless we need our roof replaced, our weeds pulled, or our hotel
>rooms cleaned, I just don't see myself speaking Mexican.

"Mexican" is a native american language of the Aztecs--the
indigineous Indians of Mexico, and is not referred to as such by
linguists, who have other names for it. The residents of Mexico speak
SPANISH as their first language.

Please provide your method of preparing this dish to the rest of this
