A Spanish woman recounted in a TikTok video the changes she has had after having a Cuban boyfriend, among which she mentioned that at first she did not understand anything he said.
Among the main changes, the user @aliciagare mentions that her boyfriend calls her "jevita," a word commonly used in Cuba to refer to girlfriends.
He also commented on the usual way Cubans protest, when they make the sound, similar to frying an egg, with their mouth.
He said that in his house, music could not be missing and that they danced all day, even in shifts.
“My boyfriend is Cuban, and of course, at home we have to have plantains, rice, and the fan always on, despite having air conditioning,” the young woman continued.
This video is added to several others on the social platform that have joined this trend, viral among the Cuban TikTok community, which consists of sharing the things that most catch the attention of their Cuban partners.
"I am the girlfriend of a Cuban man and when he introduces me to his friends, they think I am only with him for the papers," begins Jennifer, a Bolivian who joined this trend, where she also added that her boyfriend "loves to listen to music too loudly."
The Cuban YouTuber Frank Camallerys also sparked laughter among his followers and applause for his Spanish boyfriend by sharing a video on TikTok in which he tests his knowledge of expressions and words used in the largest of the Antilles.
Let me tell you, I am a Cuban living in Spain, I have been here for three years. My boyfriend is Spanish and we are going to test his Cuban-ness, let's see how much he has learned in three years alongside a Cuban," he says at the beginning of the video where he is seen driving a car with his partner - who is not seen in the video - as the copilot.
The number of Cubans residing in Spain has reached a historical record of almost 200,000, according to the latest data published by the National Institute of Statistics (INE) of the Iberian country corresponding to January 1, 2023.
Until that date, 198,639 people born in Cuba were registered, of which 73,548 had resident status.
