If you want to visit an hispanic country and you believe you have a good knowledge of spanish, you will probablyl be surprised by strange words that you never learned. These words are slangs (Jergas) and are common words that people use in their daily lives.
First of all you have to consider the region or country where you'll spend your trip. Next you'll need to understand the context of the sentence or phrase that your latin partners speaks for finding a close meaning of those strange words. Finally, If you don't understand anything ask for help... (..."dame una mano"...)
This article isn't a guide for spanish slangs, it's only a brief compilation of some spanish slangs used in Latin America, especially in Peru. If you want to take a "Master" in spanish slangs the best way is to visit a hispanic country, discovering new slangs by taking an inmmersion in a latin society and have fun speaking with latin people without any restrictions and with plenty of freedom. Don't be worried they will teach you.
Now take a look at this brief list of spanish slangs:
- "Guita", "Mangos" (Arg/Per) = Money
- "Verdes" (Per) = US. Dollars
- "No pitees" (Per) = Don't complain
- "T韔" (Spa/Per) = You - Friend
- "Pata", "Causa" (Per) = Close Friend
- "Merco", "Richie" (Per) = Meal
- "Trago" (Lat.A) = Alcoholic drink
- "Ruca" (Per) = *****
- "Telo" (Per) = "Hotel
- "No Jodas" (Spa/Lat.A) = "Don't bother me"
- "?o駉!",?arajo!" (Spa/Lat. A) = "Damn!"
- "?ierda!" (Lat.A) = "Shit!"
- "Una jalada, t韔" (Per) = "Give me a hitchhiking, friend"
- "Porfa" (Per) = "Please"
- "Metele letra" (Per) = "Speak with her or him"
- "Chimbombo", "Chivo" (Per) = "Gay"
- "裲rsa", "Se駉" (Per) = "Lady"
- "Fierro" (Per) = "Gun"
- "Quemalo" (Per) = "Killing"
- "Chancon" (Per) = "Nerd"
- "Vamos a jamear" (Per) = "Let's take a meal"
- "No te paltees" (Per) = "Don't be nervous"
- "Pa la genti" (Per) = "That's for my friends"
- "Foneame" (Per) = "Phone me"
- "Tengo una arruga" (Per) = "I have a debt"
- "Estas de pelos" (Mex) = "You look cool"
- "Cuero" (Per) = "Beauty or Handsome"
- "Estas fuerte" (Per) = "You are hot"
- "Vamos a follar" (Spa/Per) = "Let's make love"
- "Es una trafa" (Per) = "It's a big robbery"
- "Palero" (Per) = "Liar"
- "Dame un ripio" (Arg/Per) = "Give some coins"
- "Mi cuate" (Mex) = "My friend"
- "Latear" (Per) = "Walk"
- "Gorrear" (Per) = "To ask something to someone"
- "Pituco" (Per) = "Snob"
- "Boludo", "Filipollas", "Huevon" (Arg/Spa/Per) = "Foolish"
Well this a first step of learning some spanish slangs and for understanding a little part of Latin culture. Don't be afraid for using these words, but I don't recommend that you use these for a business meeting, while in a nice restaurant or with citizens for whom you have respect... Perhaps snobs... I mean ( Pitucos = Per )
"Chaufa!" (Per) = "Bye!" |

dedicated to all submitters for this thread...muchas gracias..amigos..
Santana
Maria Maria
Ho Maria Maria
She reminds me of a west side story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She抯 living the life just like a movie star
Ho Maria Maria
She fell in love in East L.A.
To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah
Played by Carlos Santana
Stop the looting, stop the shooting
Pick pocking on the corner
See as the rich is getting richer
The poor is getting poorer
Se mira Maria on the corner
Thinking of ways to make it better
In my mailbox there抯 an eviction letter
Somebody just said see you later
Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola
I said a la favella los colores
The streets are getting hotter
There is no water to put out the fire
Mi canto la esperanza
Se mira Maria on the corner
Thinking of ways to make it better
Then I looked up in the sky
Hoping of days of paradise
Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola
Maria you know you抮e my lover
When the wind blows I can feel you
Through the weather and even when we抮e apart
It feels like we抮e together |
