Itaipu dam is the biggest in the world email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 80/100. atacamaval (3046)1 year ago

A few years ago I went to Foz de Iguazú. I wanted to see the beautiful falls but also had a chance to see the biggest operational hydroelectric dam in the world. It´s in the frontier of Brasil and Paraguay and it´s shared by the two countries.
The name Itaipu comes from the guarani (language of the paraguayan indians) and means "the sound of a stone".

The Guarani language is not only of the Paraguayan "indians".. The native people speak that languague and we the Paraguayans adopt that language as our own too. Besides that, is nice to have someone interested in our nation here in Mylot... is truly great to see this discussion here.. thumbup

I´m very much interested in Paraguay and in guarani. I am chilean and the way I made the post was for the sake of american readers. But I did not know that paraguayans spoke guarani so much. Thanks for telling me.
The paraguayan music is so beautiful that it makes my heart swell. My favorite is that one that starts with "Una noche triste nos conocimos/ junto al lago azul de Ipacaraí..."
I wish us people from South America didn´t have to meet at an english speaking sitewink
Me alegro de saber de tíhappy

Yes, I think 80% of the people of Paraguay speaks only Guarani language.. there is a term here also known as "Jopará" were the J is readed as in "John"that consist in a mix of Spanish and Guarani to make speaking more faster and easy... and the rest of people only speaks Spanish.. I must say that I never learned very well the language. But with my Jopará I can handle it.. Yes! the music is very awesome here.. It's really special to hear Luis Alberto del Paraná and Caetano Veloso's Music.. Hey, that the English speaking site don't make us stop talking.. after all, the English is a universal language, right? thumbup
