Dominican Slang: The Key to Street Cred
Dominican Spanish is full of unique expressions that you won't find in your standard Spanish textbook. Here are some examples to get you started:
Vaina - This word can mean "thing" or "stuff" and is used in various contexts. Example: "Esa vaina está bien hecha." (That thing is well made.)
Qué lo qué - A casual greeting, akin to "What's up?" Example: "¡Hey, amigo! ¿Qué lo qué?" (Hey, friend! What's up?)
Guagua - In the Dominican Republic, this word refers to a bus. Example: "Vamos a tomar la guagua para ir a la playa." (Let's take the bus to go to the beach.)
Tiguere - Means a street-smart person or someone who's cunning. Example: "Ese tipo es un tiguere, siempre sabe cómo conseguir lo que quiere." (That guy is street-smart; he always knows how to get what he wants.)
Why Slang Matters
Slang keeps your Spanish fresh and relevant. It helps you connect with locals and shows that you're not just a textbook speaker but someone who appreciates the nuances of their language and culture.
Putting Dominican Slang into Practice
Try using these slang words next time you're chatting with a Dominican friend or when you're practicing your Spanish. It'll bring a smile to their face and show that you're in the know.
