Slang and Colloquial Spanish

Colloquial Spanish varies enormously from country to country. Mastering these registers is essential for near-native proficiency.

Spain Slang

Molar/guay: to express that something is cool
Flipar: to be amazed, to freak out
Currar: to work (from Romani Calé)
Pillar: to catch, to understand ("¿Pillas?" = Do you get it?)
Tío/tía: universal way to address friends

Latin American Slang

Chévere (Venezuela, Colombia): awesome
Bacán (Argentina, Chile): cool, great
Pibe/piba (Argentina): boy/girl
Plata: money (universal across Latin America)
Chabón (Argentina): dude, guy

Registers and Context

Spanish slang is highly regional: a common word in Spain may be unknown in Mexico
Argentine voseo ("vos tenés") is colloquial but not vulgar
Spanish "tú" is used in contexts where other countries would use "usted"

Watch Out for Slang False Friends

Coger: to take/grab (Spain) vs vulgar meaning (Latin America)
Joder: very common in Spain, highly vulgar elsewhere

자주 하는 실수

~~Voy a coger el autobús~~
Voy a tomar el autobús
In Latin America, coger has a vulgar meaning; use tomar to avoid misunderstanding
~~Ese pibe es muy majo~~
Ese pibe es muy copado
Majo is Spain Spanish, pibe is Argentine; do not mix regional registers
~~¡Qué padre, tío!~~
¡Qué guay, tío! / ¡Qué padre, güey!
Padre is Mexican, tío is Spanish; each slang has its own markers
~~Me flipa un chingo~~
Me flipa mogollón / Me gusta un chingo
Flipar is from Spain, chingo is Mexican; avoid mixing slang origins
~~Estoy currando, pibe~~
Estoy currando, tío / Estoy laburando, pibe
Currar is Spanish, pibe is Argentine; laburar is the Argentine equivalent of currar
