Bandera de Colombia

/Sounds like "TEEN" (as in "teen") + "toh" (as in "toe")/

Hot black coffee, served without milk or sugar in a small cup. In Colombia, ordering a tinto is like ordering water — it's the most basic and essential drink of everyday life.

Example

"Want a cup of black coffee? It's freshly made."

/Sounds like "TEEN" (as in "teen") + "toh" (as in "toe")/

Red wine in Spain and the Southern Cone. Careful: ordering a tinto in a Spanish restaurant gets you a glass of wine, not coffee like in Colombia — one of the most common mix-ups between countries.

Example

"Give me a house tinto with dinner."

"We drank two bottles of tinto between the four of us."
