¡Qué onda Yaprendices!
This week we're exploring español de México! Let's get into it!
Let's start with some of my favorite phrases in Mexican Spanish!
¿Qué onda? = Qué pasa = what's up.
I love it because it's literally like "what's the wave"- which feels is cool. By the way- "onda" and "ola" are both words that mean "wave" in Spanish.
Güey - dude / guy- usually pronounced without the "g" sound- more like "wey"
Mande - a response like, "yes?"
No manches - be for real!? Stop playin'!!
Qué padre - How cool! / That's dope!
Chavo/ chava - guy / girl
