Line C of the Buenos Aires Underground, that runs from Retiro to Constitución terminus, opened on 9 November 1934, and it has a length of 4.3 km (2.7 mi). It runs under Lima Sur, Bernardo de Irigoyen, Carlos Pellegrini, Esmeralda, la Plaza San Martín and Avenida Ramos Mejia streets. It not only connects to every other line on the system, but its termini at Retiro and Constitución also connect it to some of the most important commuter rail networks in Buenos Aires, such as the Mitre and Roca lines and also long-distance passenger services. It is thus an important artery in Buenos Aires' transport system. At the same time, it is also the shortest line in both terms of length and number of stations.

When used as clitics, object pronouns can appear as proclitics that come before the verb or as enclitics attached to the end of the verb in different linguistic environments. There is also regional variation in the use of pronouns, particularly the use of the informal second-person singular vos and the informal second-person plural vosotros.

"El buugeng led, esas eses de luz que hipnotizaron a Chaplin, eran el último grito en malabares y se los habían regalado el resto de ChupiZancos por su cumpleaños. Seguro que habrían costado un pico, y que con ese gasto extra se habrían tenido que apretar aún más el cinturon en aquel minipiso que compartían con otros cuatro."

Translated to English:

"The buugeng led, those light esses that hypnotized Chaplin, were the latest in juggling and had been given to him by the rest of ChupiZancos for his birthday. I'm sure they would have cost a ton, and with that extra expense. Surely they would have cost a ton, and with that extra expense they would have had to tighten their belts even more in that mini-apartment they shared with four others."
