Derek: In Southern South America we use these words. I`m not sure which ones in Spain (some I do know, and I`ll tell you): Levantarse... usually when you got out of bed. Ponerse de pie... usually when you`re sitting on a chair, and you stand up for some reason, like to applaud at the theater or to sing the national anthem. Pararse... is kind of generic. It`s to stand up, "be on your feet". Tirar... is to dispose something, the same as Botar. We don`t use much Botar (probably in Mexico en Spain they do). Echar... is to drop something, usually accidentally. Also, we use Echar as "to fire" someone from his job, synonym = Despedir, although Despedir is to "greet goodbye" as well. Darse Prisa is the same Apurarse... The first one they use in Mexico and Spain. We only use Apurarse. It means "to hurry" Coger... Only in Spain and Mexico (maybe some other countries) but NEVER use it in Southern South America! It`s a very bad word. lol! Agarrar... it`s supposed to be only for animals, but it`s the most common for us. Agarrar comes from "garras" which are the nails of animals, like tigers and lions. Tomar... we use it as well, but in another context, like when we call someone to grab something; it`s kind of like saying: "Take it", as imperative. When I want to say "I grab it", I say "Lo agarro". We seldom say "lo tomo". It will be understood, but we just don't use that word for "grab". Tomar for us is more known as "to drink", which in other places is "beber". We understand it, but don't use it ("beber"). Coger... Again, don't use it! Subir... to the bus, taxi, car, train. Perfect! It`s like "to get on the bus, on the train". Montar... when you get on a horse, a bull, maybe a motorcycle or a bike, I guess. We also use "tomar un bus, un taxi, un tren" = "to pick up a bus, a taxi, a train". Bus i understood, in Argentina they call it "colectivo", in Paraguay it`s "ómnibus". I`ll go on later, ok? Hey, you didn't misspell my name!

Hi, Dario, As mentioned above, could you please tell me some of words both in Spain and Latin America that are different, but meant the same things?

Hi, I'm Mexican, how can I help you?
