What’s up guys today I’ll be exploring slang from Spain, Mexico, Colombia and Chile!!!

We will be looking at 3 very important slang words from each country!

And we are going to start with the land of fire, Real Madrid and one of my favorite places: Spain!
The first common slang expression is “qué guay!”
This is the same as how cool or this is so cool. It’s like Spanish people ran out of words. They just look at something really cool like for example this funny video of a cat and the are like que, I am running out of words… que guay.

The second expression if you wanna sound more European besides using a mysterious voice is… Tio or tia. And if you know a bit of Spanish, it doesn’t really mean uncle or aunt. Tio means guy or girl. Like look at that guy there… Mira ese tio alla. Or she was a good looking girl- Era una tia muy guapa…
I have no idea when Spanish decided that everybody was their uncle or aunt or why they have this expression. But I love it. It’s like anybody is my dad sybiling so I respect them.

Another expression or slang that I absolutely love is “Estoy flipando”.... And no it is not I am flipping. (I am flipping a coin) Non of that nonsense. You say estoy flipando when something is unbelievable, it is like something is flipping in your brain… or your brain is flipping. Georgia’s governor prohibits businesses from mandating masks (Estoy flipando coño)

Let’s move on to what became my motherland after moving to the US. MEXICO.
I feel the ultimate Spanish mexican slang is güey and that’s where I need to start! Güey is probably the same as dude in the US. What’s up dude? Que onda, g:euy… The pronunciation is the same as way like when you go one way or 2 ways….
Let’s see if you get this joke…
Another expression that is very common in Mexico is padre, and this one means cool! Not father. Well normally padre means father. But Mexican fathers are very cool so the expression padre means cool. Oh my god this is so father! Wow esto es padre. And if something is really cool! You say Padrisimo.. This is super father.

A last expression or slang in Mexican Spanish Mande: What? What did you say?
When I hear mande. I think of the verb mandar (to order)
Now we go to Chile! Contrary to what you may think of my video about Spanish accents. I do love Chile. In fact a lot of my papers in college when I studied comparative cultures and politics, I decided to write about Chile, and its history. They have very particular expressions.

My favorite is ¿Cachay?: Do you understand? This one is easy to remember. It’s like you catch that, but it doesn't sound anything like Spanish. The one time I went to France I went as a woofer, working in a wine farm.

This more than a slang is an expression Se me hecho la yegua: When you don’t feel like going out to a party or something anymore
Po!: Well and also used at the end of phrases for emphasis
Huon/huea: Can refer to a friend, a stranger, a thing, something you love. It is overused
COLOMBIA
Chevére: Cool! Also used in Venezuela
Dar papaya: It means to put yourself in a situation where you can be taken advantage of. Yo di papaya y me robaron (I gave papaya and they robbed me)
Parce: Slang for friend or dude
