Yo no speake Espanish!
"que lo que" or "K lo K" = que lo que hay.....? sort of like whats happening???
"barbarasa" comes from barbaro (male) = barbarian. Barbarasa = bigtime barbarian in feminine term.
other street language / terminologies:
chuliando = kissing, making out
Jeva = cute girl
Jevita= cute young girl
Jevo or Jevito = young stylish guy
a po ta bien = all right then
cuero= slut or even prostitute
humo= state of intoxication (drunk)
rumo= rum
pequenia fria = small bottle of presidente beer
mi pana = my friend
viena = a thing
tigre = street wise guy or just any guy
tigrasa = a wise ass girl
ta to = esta bien = all right
se fue pa las palmas.... = young girl went away with an older
guy... you know for what?
No joda or no me jodas = don't bother me or don't f**k with me.
anyone wants to add more?

Dominicanismo
You mean " vaina", right ?
Oh, and the "humo" is pronounced "jumo" just like "harto".
Isn't it funny how Dominicans will drop the s's but insist on pronouncing the H's when it's supposed to be silent ?

Re: thank y'all so much!
Dominicanisms, just like ebonics, serves no purpose except to lower the standards of literacy. You are doing neither Dominicans nor yourself any service by using them.

Re: Re: thank y'all so much!
Well, everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I just feel that learning a few slang words will help me to understand the people who live there (and the people in my corner store) better because they do not speak Spanish the same way it is taught in school. I'm not trying to lower the standards of literacy. Are you Dominican? I'm sure you know these words and that does not make you an more illiterate than a person who doesn't.

Re: Re: Re: thank y'all so much!
No I am not Dominican and I do know some of the words. I never use any of those words except for one...................CHOPO. Learn it. Don't be it!

Listen to Tony
Although I have a halfway decent grasp of the Spanish Language I decided some time ago that when I finally move to the DR, I am going to learn my "Dominican Spanish" from well spoken more affluent Dominicans and not from Chopos in the campo. Imagine if you wanted to learn English and had to learn it from some moron who has been hanging out on a street corner in Brooklyn for the past 30 years and then trying to converse and be accepted by more intelligent Americans. Apply that same concept to who you learn "Dominican" from and worry about the slang terms later. I assume you will pick up what you need as you go along.

EXCUSE ME!!
Everyone uses some form of slang. Even if its saying ya insteda of yes.
Unless your going to hangout all your life in a little gated community forever you have to learn some slang. Even the educated use the words vaina. And when your walking down the street and someone says something to you its a good idea to be able to understand it.
Just because you learn slang and can inderstand it dosne't make you uneducated. It makes you smarted and more able to fit in where ever you are.
You bunch of poopy pants you!!!!

I know both,I use both!
And I know the difference! I once used the word "Cuartos" for "money" with a wealth Dominican.The moment it came out of my mouth I felt like a "Chopo"!Nothing wrong with knowing both,but you should learn "Good" Spanish,before you move on to Dominican Slang! "Everyone",does not use "slang"!As far as "Fitting In",Proper Spanish "Fits In" everywhere,"Slang" doesn't!Cris Colon

I have another question...when do we pronounce the b's like v's? Like when I say I have to go to the bathroom, I say...Me voy al va?o. Or when I ask if someone has a receipt I say...tiene recivo...and it was raining I say estava lloviendo...not estaba llobiendo...how weird!! So when do we use those pronunciations?
It always amazes me that someone would use very vulgar Spanish language,
...when they would never use the same vulgar language in their native tongue!If your "Dominican Family" uses some of those words,they are really from the lowest class!You will not be respected if you follow their custom! Cris Colon
