what are some of the phrases used to compliment people. i heard of a phrase that i'm really unsure of. i think (and forgive me for the wrong spelling) it was said something like bantana or batana....something like that. i know there are phrases like linda, bellia, guapo, hermosa, etc. what are some other words to compliment someone on thier looks.

Bacano, ?spero (sometimes pronounced '?pero'). Actually, these expressions are Colombian (or Venezuelan) in origin.

I thought guapo was only used in this sense in Spain, and meant something like brave in Latin America?

No Guapo is used in many latin american countries as Handsome.
Maybe not in the DR but I can think of 4 or 5 others where it is used.
