I'm in the industrial estate of Alginet, my town, in the province of Valencia.
Here there are many factories and companies that produce many different things.
Well today from here, I'm going to talk about one of the most peculiar and interesting traditions
of Valencia, which is called "el esmorzaret", a Valencian word that we can translate
as lunch or small lunch.
Although you will see that it is everything but little.
We will also learn how to use some quantifiers.
All this and a little more, in a moment.
Hi! I'm Sergi Martín, your Spanish teacher in Youtube.
Here, in this industrial estate, works many people.
Everyone stops more or less between ten and eleven in the morning to eat a
sandwich, what is called lunch here, or in Valencian "l'esmorzaret".
All workers, well, and those who are not workers too, have to eat,
but almost everyone here eats this lunch in bars.
Many companies only work from Monday to Friday, but some also work on Saturdays
in the morning.
In this estate few companies close Friday afternoon.
Almost no company works on Sundays.
And here I can assure you that no company makes robots.
Well, the truth is, I can not assure it, but I don't think so, I do not know.
The workers of this estate and the really, practically all the workers of all
Valencia, usually stop between ten and eleven to eat a sandwich, what they call
lunch.
And what is that lunch?
Lunch has become a ceremony in Valencia.
It is not a simple tradition, it is an event social that Valencians can not tet
pass.
If you work, you have lunch.
Well, and if you do not work, you also have it.
On weekdays we have more or less lunch between 9 and 11 in the morning, and
Saturdays is a tradition to be with friends for lunch, maybe a little more
late.
In Spain it is said that if in the parking lot a roadside restaurant there are many trucks
parked, sure you eat well.
This is because the truckers know where to eat, because they make the same routes and know
the best places.
But in Valencia this can be said of the cyclists.
Any Saturday or Sunday morning there are hundreds, I would say thousands of cyclists
who leave home to do their favorite sport, that can you think is cycling ...
but no.
Their favorite sport is to stop for lunch in that place of always, where they eat some sandwiches
that multiply by two or three the calories they consume on the bike.
Because those Valencian sandwiches make ridiculous any "brunch" hipster,
it does not matter how they call that city fashion.
There are all kinds, of squid, cuttlefish, fried peppers, loin, veal, chicken, beans,
tortillas stuffed with imagination ... there are some that have a proper name, names
very local that may not be understood outside of this Community.
The "blanc i negre", of longaniza and morcilla, where the name comes from, which means
black and white
The Catalan, with ham and grilled tomato.
The Almussafes, with hot sobrasada, caramelized onions and melted cheese.
The brascada, with fried onions, veal and ham Serrano.
Or the chivito, with grilled tenderloin, bacon (also called panceta), melted cheese,
tomato, lettuce and fried egg.
But if you think that with any of these sandwiches is not enough to go straight
to the cardiologist, it's still eaten what it's called "the picaeta".
In the lunches of this land can not be missing a plate of peanuts, a salad
of tomato and lettuce with olives and some typical spicy peppers, long and large that if
you call them chilies or chilis, here few will understand.
Many times that "picaeta" also includes "tramussos", which in Spanish are lupins
and that if you do not know them you have to come to try them because it's hard to explain.
All this is always accompanied by drink, never missing bottles of water on the table, jugs
of beer or "vi i llimonà", which is wine with soda and that I would never dare to drink
out of my land.
Put wine in the soda?
No, if I'm not in Valencia.
When the food is over and you think you can go straight to a couch to digest all that
amount of cholesterol that you have ingested, coffee is waiting for you.
Working days are usually not drunk a lot of alcohol, but on weekends
lunch king is called "cremaet", which is a carajillo but with... One moment.
Don't you know the carajillo?
Well, the carajillo is a coffee with liquor, of cognac, rum, whiskey, anise, Baileys or whatever
your imagination lets you.
But the "cremaet" is another thing.
With a lot of sugar in the glass, rum or brandy is added that is heated to
burn it and take away some alcohol.
Put a little bit of lemon rind, some cinnamon sticks and a couple of coffee beans.
A whole caloric pump!
And of course, to celebrate the weekend, sometimes the party continues with some cup of some
liquor, the most typical is the cazalla, which is what is called dry anise here.
Yes, I know it may seem like there's a lot alcohol in a typical weekend lunch
Valencian, but this gastronomic event, social and cultural life is usually extended
almost until meal time.
That is, you do not have to drink too fast nor too much quantity; the just to be able
to return home or everyone to their obligations.
Also, many times at Valencian lunch tables are made business or political decisions
more important than in most of the offices throughout Spain.
So if you come to Valencia you have to try the most famous dish, the paella.
But if you really want to eat something authentic, traditional and that is part of the culture
of this region, do not forget this fantastic Valencian lunch.
But now we'll go with those quantifiers, and how we use them in Spanish.
I will repeat the phrases that I said at first
and let's see how to use them.
Everyone stops more or less between ...
"Everyone" is an expression that we use when we want to include all
people we're talking about
We use it with people and it is an expression fixed, we always use it the same way.
All the workers, well, and those who are not...
"All workers" we say it because we are using a plural masculine noun.
Remember that the masculine in Spanish is used to talk in general.
With this sentence I can talk only about the workers men, not women, but in this case,
in this context what I want to say is that are all the persons who work here,
men and women.
Well look, right now I just said "all the persons" and I've used the feminine plural,
because I used the noun "persons".
But I can change it to "people", that is uncountable and that's why we use it in singular,
besides being feminine.
Then I can say "all the people".
As you see, we use everything, all, all and all plus a noun, and depending on that noun,
whether it is masculine, feminine, singular or plural, the quantifier changes.
Almost everyone here eats this lunch in the bars.
Here I want to emphasize that they are not all, but they are a very large number.
I use the word "almost" before the quantifier.
"Almost" is invariable, does not change in masculine, feminine, singular or plural.
But notice that I have not used any noun, I've just said "almost everyone here eats..."
This is because I did not need to repeat the noun, because we already knew that we were talking about
workers from the Alginet factories.
And now let's see the following sentences, all together:
Many companies only work from Monday to Friday,
but some also work on Saturday mornings.
In this estate, few companies close on Friday afternoons.
Almost no company works on Sundays.
And I can assure you that no company makes robots.
"A lot, some, little and none" work the same way as "everything".
There are four forms in masculine, feminine, singular or plural, depending on the noun.
The only difference is that with "everything" We put the article "the, the, the, the"
before the noun, but not with the other quantifiers.
With "none" we can also use the word "almost".
And we go with a very interesting verb, the verb SOLER:
The workers of this estate and to be honest, practically all workers
from all over Valencia, usually stop between ten and eleven
to eat a sandwich, what they call lunch.
This verb is conjugated like this in Present, it has an irregularity, the letter "o" changes
to "ue" in all forms except "we and you".
It is always used with an infinitive and it expresses a habit
In this sentence I want to say that in Valencia it's normal to do a pause more or less
half an hour for lunch, for that tradition that you already know and that you can not miss
if you come to visit my land.
