Oh, he said Aztec or Mayan! I misread it as he said Native American ancestry as a whole.

Even so, not many Argentines or Uruguayans with Amerindian ancestry.

Oh yeah, and they usually brag too much about it. :lol:

(Or at least that's the stereotype I used to hear about them.)

Well, it depends on your ethnicity. Are you mestizo? Do you have any Aztec of Mayan ancestry? If you do, tú estás muy corto

Just wanted to let you know in this instance you would use the word eres (the tú form of ser) since you are describing a quality not a location or temporary emotion.

Go to http://www.sp-studio.de/ and after you are done press Print Screen on your keyboard and paste the picture into a picture editor, like Microsof Paint, crop it and save it as JPEG. Then upload it, I use http://www.imagecave.com/default.aspx

Like the Arabic proverb: الرجل بلا شنب كالقط بلا ذنب (the man with no beard is like a cat without a tail).

You could say it in English, though you might be mistaken for a pirate.

In Delodephius's case, however, it's Slovak.

Or like the Trønder (from the city of Trondheim) Norwegian proverb: Det bli itj fart uten bart! (No speed without a mustache)
