No, that's how most of the Spanish-speaking world pronounces it. The [ʒ] sound (English 'j' sound) for the Spanish 'y' is typically an Argentinian/Uruguayan dialect.

Comprar is always "to buy, to purchase". But in colloquial English you often use the catch-all verb "get" for the same meaning:
- Voy a comprar algo de vino. - I'm going to get some wine.

Whee - our summer in Rome comes in handy again. To buy is very similar in Italian (comprare) and Spanish (comprar) - this will help me remember

In standard Spanish, casaca refers to a dress coat, a jacket with tails that go past the knees.
Usually this table helps a lot with figuring out the different words used in different countries, but the closest to a "jacket" it contains are the words for the jacket for a suit. Peru also uses the word casaca for it and is the only country that uses that word.
Hello there! I was just wondering if anyone had some good simple to read literature for learning Spanish, this meaning beginner chapter books in Spanish or more technical books about grammar and pronunciation?

You can try out the Duolingo stories if you haven't yet. They are pretty good for beginners and get harder with time.
I got it wrong because instead of saying, I want to buy a jacket, I said, I want to but a jacket. Its an honest mistake! If you have the qwerty keyboard, you'll know Y is right next to T. Why can't I type right?

Wouldnt let speak this time. Glitchy. The mic dinged on, then the red try again message appeared immediately before i even said a word. Please look into this.
you can pronounce yo as yo, jo and even sho un the south of south america, and the verb in spanish are really different than english. yo compro (i buy) tu compras/vos comprás (you buy) él ella compra (she he buys) nosotros compramos (we buy) ustedes compran/ vosotros compráis (you all buy) and ellos ellas compran (they buy) and the infitive verb (to buy) is comprar.
