Son los barbarismos por: "donde está" y "en casa de" respectivamente. Se diría entonces "donde está juanita" ó "en casa de juanita". |

Yes, in Argentina we say "almacén" to refer to a small neighbourhood convenience store, but kids don't usually hang out with their friends outside an "almacén", instead they do it outside a "kiosco", or they just call the place by its name. There's a store in Santa Fe that is exactly what you describe and people call it by its name... Ex. Nos vemos en el Shuk -I'll see you at Shuk... which is something like a big kiosk but not an "almacén". Do you understand what I mean?

I think Mer's choices are good. "Mom and Pop" doesn't have an exact alternative because it is more of a cultural reference, perhaps in a specific time period as well.

Gracias David, no tenía ni idea. Curioso lo de almacén, que en España es algo muy grande. También existen en Madrid aún unos almacenes, dónde se venden "uno por dos" (se paga una pieza y te dan dos, pero son tiendas de ropa, sobre todo de trabajo, como monos, ropa interior...) Quote:

Hola Maryca,
In Argentina, the most similar expression for your phrase is "quiosco" Sometimes boys get together there and eat or drink something. Generally "quioscos" that are near a school, so they hang out there for a while before walking in after walking out the school. Regards, DIEGO |

How about "la tiendita de la esquina", I believe this is what they call the "Mom and Pop store" in Mexico
