As a Mexican, I like "Ya tu sabes". Thank you Dominicanos!
mexchewy me too I say it all the time
In Peru we say "Y tu sabes". But I'm half Dominican so I mostly say Ya tu sabes.
Saaame
I thought all Mexicans say that. All the Mexicans i know do
De lo mio ya tu sabe con amor de la republica
You’re like simba. You just gotta find your roar. 😂 so cute!!!
ela lmao that made me laugh 😂
THANKS FOR WATCHING! One day I’ll find my roar.......lol
MayaInTheMoment ur doing great ❤️❤️❤️. Ur so pretty I wish I had ur hair. Love u niña ❤️
MayaInTheMoment or you can hang with more Dominicans. KLK (Que lo que) 😆 Pero ta to 💜
Yes girl believe. My family is Nicaraguan but I don't speak any Spanish so I'm learning. One day I'll find my roar too 😂
We will need an update video in your level of slang... I mean, una actualización ;)
Asi se hace mi chava! Animo!
Lmao!! Maya is so lucky to be around Julissa and Gadiel all day every day. I know I would be laughing my ass off.
I REALLY AM. lol
I feel like the Spanglish words are more from Chicano culture. But slang like "simon" and "guey" are very much from Mexican culture haha
As a Mexican myself, I can tell you that Chicano differs quite a bit from Mexican
Qué pedo
And then you all wonder why we dont consider ourselves Mexican cause you all beat it into us all the time we just became a group of our own.
Not entirely specially in border towns. I grew up in Juarez speaking Spanglish words I don’t even know they wasn’t Spanish till I move to the us for good. Have you met a chilango? They’ll have you confuse with all the slang they talk you’ll be surprised.
@@18gonma Because you are not, and thats neither Bad or good, you have to be pride of what you really are.
They forgot “A huevo”😂
Esmeralda Treto "a egg"???
Emerald Green You....dont get it :v
Thats true 😂😂😂 I recently used it with one of my male friends! He got the number of his crush and we all(my circle of male friends) say " A huevo cabron!! Asi se hace alv! Chingon!" 😂😂😱😂😂😂
"Ah wewes"
[Messy Cherry] sorry I don't speak Spanish but I'm learning
No Mamés it's my favorite slang. 💞💞
Candy Luna burst eres colombiano o q?
@@LoserBroProductions yo soy de México
Candy Luna burst por k usaste vos entonces?
@@LoserBroProductions no sé 😐
Candy Luna burst q sad
If u ever say "no mames" to ur mom, u will get slapped😂
Con la chancla en mero osico. lmao... O una cachetada entre quijada y oreja
👡👡👡👡
Ik
I always say that to my mom and she doesn't care
What does that mean?
Omg Maya literally sounds like Dora
But instead of teaching spanish, she's learning spanish!
¡Ponte las pilas, Maya! You got this!! 😄
Carina \ 😂😂
I heard this in Julissa's voice 😂
Or ponte trucha 😂
You got the slang
@@patriciabahena721 😂 my uncle says that all the time
Should’ve added “neta” 😂😂
In English it would mean "Are you serious?"
@@5t3r3054x obviously she knows thats why she put it....
Isn’t that too fresa?
Neta we
Neta guey
Lol I’m Puerto Rican & Dominican and know all those Mexican phrases 😂😂😂 my favorite is “no mames guey”
Cottoncanzy Annchristine I love the “ya tu sabes “
@@bluema1213 ya tu sabes? Funny we say the exact same thing in the USA, but in English
They forgot one of the biggest ones and my all time favorite “Orale”.
Ps. Que padre IS outdated 😋
Simón Is outdated, qué padre Is very common.
Que padre isn’t outdated, atleast in cdmx
You sound like Dora the Explorer
Izzy C I WAS JUST THINKING THAT😂😂😂
Izzy C so true
I was think that. 😂😂
Yea 😂😂😂
Izzy C i wont be able to forget this shdhfhh
my favorite slang is "que chingados" 💀
Paola lmao you naughty

Viva México...pero no los pochos ni chicanos (que no son ni serán mexicanos por cierto)!
Bueno solo los que si tenemos doble ciudadanía😊🇲🇽
I'm half Salvadorian but I know a lot of Mexican slang since 80% of my friends are Mexican.
Argonaut ANOTHER HALF SALVI 🇸🇻!! Que Maje!
Le fin gourmet 2 and another half colombian ;)
Aaaaye I’m Mexican and have a lot of salvi and Honduran friends and I hear them cursing often 😂
I'm half Honduran and Salvadoran and I have Mexican friends that use these slangs and I know what they mean but whenever I use my slang they would look at me all confused
omg same im half Salvadorian
Who thinks that Maya's adorable????
Emilia Isabella Margarita Milena she’s trash. She’s “trying” to be more in touch with Mexican culture by becoming a caricature of a Mexican. Even worse she sounds like a child.
She's pretty to my eyes, but I'm not sure if I would withstand her lack of Mexicanity
(I'm Mexican)
@@5t3r3054x are you going to date her or something
She sounds too cute when she says "No mames, güey!" 😂😂😂
As a Mexican-American myself I found that I grew up with A LOT of Spanglish.I heard very weird slang that came mostly from my indigenous grandparents, which sadly kind of dissipated with my generation. This made me feel nostalgic (and a bit guilty) to hear these again since I don’t really use them. But great video Maya you get better each time I hear you. All the love ❤️
It's weird! I'm not Mexican, I'm from Costa Rica. And I know a lot of Mexican slangs. I guess it's because I grew up watching a lot of Mexican TV shows.
Me too and I'm Dominican 😂😂
Tips to sounding more Mexican: throw in a “de hecho, blah blah blah”, “ah ja” (when another person is talking and you’re agreeing), “eh” (short eh not the Canadian eh, when thinking what to say next), “ ah ok, ya” (when saying ok I understand), “va” (ok)
Mexican slang is something I feel uncomfortable speaking even though I am Mexican. My parents are pretty “proper/polite” with their Spanish so it’s not something I grew up around, so I didn’t know much of these!
Same, I know most of them but I've never truly speak it with my family since their very conservative with speech especially for a girl. I remember I said a slang phrase I heard from my cousin and got slapped for it. I only use it with friends.
I love how friendly and approachable Fernando and Andrea were, i think they don't know Maya that well but it was very nice of them to teach her their knowledge.
We still use “que padre” in Mexico hahah it’s not dated
He escuchado que suena un poquito infantil.
Wait no mames is inappropriate?
I swear I heard Miguel say that in coco lol
Yes it is inappropriate in formal context, don't ever say that in front of boss, parents in law, clients, patients
It’s basically like “stop fuckin around”
He said no manches which is another version of it that’s more appropriate
That's not quite an accurate meaning. "No mames" could be like saying just "fuck" the meaning of the phrase and the literal translation is what they said in the video. "Stop fucking around" is more like "deja de hacerte pendejo".
And yes, it is inappropriate slang, mostly with the older generation. And of course in work/school/formal stuff.
As the guy said in the video, my mom hate that or any other curse word/slang
Miss Caesalpinia I was thinking fuck would just be alv or chingado
‘No pues wow’ is used more in a sarcastic way, like ‘oh wow’ for example:
‘Gane la lotería!’
‘Y cuánto ganaste?’
‘10 pesos’
‘no pues wow’
Lu Comments great example
Girl you learn whatever slang you want Mexican or not...
I believe so too but her friend had a point. The journey she started was to bring her closer to her heritage which for her would be her Mexican roots. She is doing great and I think it's funny that she was really thoughtful, she should also know that a lot of Spanish speaking people like me know a lot of slang from other Spanish speaking countries so she shouldnt feel so much pressure to focus on Mexican slang.
Good job Maya. As I fan, I'm so proud of you for learning Spanish. I'm learning Spanish as well. I know that understanding it can be so difficult sometimes, but we got this.👍🏿
I can see you getting better and better each time.
Yeeeess Fernando!! I didn't know he was born in Guadalajara, no surprise he can speak perfect spanish and with a native accent :)
Good useful slang he gave to Maya, please help her to find her roar haha
That's were my mom was born too
Jerry Baena I was born in Texas and I speak perfect Spanish wayyy better than English
I'm German, but I knew half of this Mexican slang just by being surround by my Mexican friends! Especially "No manches guëy"😅
This is going to sound super naive and ignorant, but there are black germans? No disrespect
@@IAmDrewselum yooooo😂😂😂😂
@@shadowhaywood1929 lol, I'm fr lol
@@IAmDrewselum german isn’t a race
@@Nonamelol. for sure, it is rare though lol
OMG Maya your Spanish journey is basically mirroring mine.
Mikayla this was me when I was younger!
Awww omg I love how you smiled at the camera when you used the new slang!! 😂 That's literally me!! I am learning Spanish and whenever I say something right I am so happy but then sometimes people try carrying on a convo and I'm like "omg I didn't prepare enough for this!!" 😂
Ay por Dios! You can learn and say words from all over the world. So it's great that you are learning slang from Mexico, but it's great to also know slang from other Latinoamérican countries. The more you know the better. 😊
i'm half mexican and i dont know a word of spanish, i can't talk to my abuela and it breaks my heart.
Well, then go ahead and take a Spanish class, and learn how to speak Spanish, so you can talk to your Grandma. Mexican grandma's are the best! Does she stand there heating tortillas in the kitchen, while everybody eats? My grandmother passed away, so I will never be able to taste her tortillas ever again! 😢
I am like 70% Mexican but i wasn't born in Mexico but ik Spanish a lot bc my parents only talk Spanish and a little English so my main language in my house is Spanish
Same :(
Also hey armyyy
Same here about being half Mexican (although my grandma does speak English) I'm gonna start learning Spanish too. I feel guilty, I avoided learning it because my parents wanted my grandma to talk to me in Spanish as a baby but she didn't and so I was always kind of annoyed that I would actually have to study it myself instead of just growing up bilingual lol.
That's disgusting I would die if I wouldnt speak Spanish with my grandma and grandpa
Mayita chula, you need to hang out more with Norberto and Fernando, those muchachos know whats up ;)
Also other Mexicans from Pero Like, Mitu and Flama.
Right. That's what I said. I like Norberto. He will be a true teacher for Maya.
I thought "no pues wow" was when someone is telling you something and you're only half listening and then they finish and want a response so you're just like "no pues wow..." or can it be used both ways?
Mmmmmm I don't know about that. Here we use it in a more sarcastic way, like when someone is telling you something boring or not interesting, in a very obvious way and then you respond with "no pues wow", but is most commonly used between friends and family you are close to, otherwise people might think you're rude. When you're half listening I suggest "órale" "en serio?" "Si claro" "pues obvio" if it's something cheerful, if it's sad is better to go with "te entiendo" "todo estará bien" "uff qué feo" "no mames, neta?". Sorry for the long response, language is tricky yet beautiful
Citlali Romero No, this was very helpful! Thank you!
@@CitlaRom yeah, also I know is used too like "I don't care what you are saying", but it is rude if you don't know the person.
It's true we do use it in a more sarcastic way 😂 I USE IT ALL THE TIME when I just dont want to talk anymore and I find the conversation kinda boring. Or bbn I just say it to get the other person mad 😂😂 but its true you should only use it with someone you're close with or it might come off as rude if you say it to someone else
The closes equivalent to it that I can think of at the moment is “oh really, tell me more” but sarcastically of course.
Here are some more slang phrases: Que pex = que onda/que pedo; equis!/nel! = no!; que hueva! For when u’re feeling lazy.
Luis Moreno "equis" does not mean "no"...
I'm 50. Born in Mexico but raised in the US since age 7. This video taught me few things....lol.
Btw you guys missed one of the most important slang phrases "A toda Madre". ATM = Excellent, great, awesome.
Hey como estas? Pues aqui no mas, pero a toda madre!
"no mames, this is pretty inappropriate... so, you definitely don't want to say that at work."
lmao literally the only place i've ever heard anyone say "no mames" is at work. i guess the rules are a little different when you work in a restaurant.
Honestly !!! I work at a Chinese restaurant and they cooks are Mexican and all they do is cuss and sing corridos and banda 😂😂 they only cuss when shit happens but most of the time I love it because I STAY entertained with their bs
I agree 😂 That's where I here it the most
Thats because you probably work in the US. In Mexico, you wouldn't say this at work.
That is NOT how we use "No pues wow".
It has like a more sarcastic connotation
how do u know that phone convo wasn't sarcastic convo......
It's No pos wauw. Sounded too clean the way she says it.
@@MayaInTheMoment hi
Lol yo pense lo mismo that was not a checkmark
While she's learning, I'm learning so thank you Maya!
Being Mexican-American IS an ENTIRELY different experience and history. Our slang is totally different bc of exposure and historical context. My family is Tejano and has been here since the 1700’s . We at eSpanglish as hellll with our slang and we don’t speak Spanish well at all. Meh. Shit happens, bad grammar and mix ups. 🤷🏽♀️ Do your best and don’t feel bad. I’m proud of you girl!
Mexican slang is so funny ❤
viva Mexico
Totally in the same boat. I don't understand current mexican slang.. just the way old stuff. Very helpful video. Thanks Maya.
Me, too. "Guey" was an insult in my day, but nowadays, it is equivalent to "Fool", which apparently is what you call your friends? "What's up Fool?" 🙃
En el día de nuestra independencia, viva México cabrones!!!! 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Mañanaaaaaaa
I love her shirt 🇲🇽🇲🇽
And she got so much better at Spanish 🇲🇽❤️😘
An alternative to “Qué padre” could also be “Que chido/Que chilo”. In the north we usually say chilo instead of chido
Really??? Huh I've never heard chilo, just chido and my family is all from Chihuahua, mostly Juarez to be exact
@@kittysaysmroww aquí en Sonora se puede decir "chilo" y "chido" aunque es más común decir "chilo," también la gente dice mucho "qué chingón".
Yo tampoco he escuchado chilo, soy de NL. Supongo es un modismo de Sonora, es bueno aprender palabras nuevas jaja
@@adrianai.altamirano3904 Tuve una mejor amiga que era del norte de Mexico, no me acuerdo si era del estado de SOnora o Sinaloa pero vivio un tiempo en ciudad de Mexico y despues se fue a Estados Unidos en donde me conocio y tenia el acento del sur decia, no manches wey, que onda, no mames y mas de eso hasta que se regreso a Sonora/Sinaloa y pasando tiempo cuando le hable la voz le habia cambiado total! Su voz se hizo mas fuerte y como demandante (no me conozco otra palabra) me decia "Que chilo" y en vez de muchacha me decia "mushasha" osea "la ch" sonaba como la s pero con un tonito aaaa no se si me explico, solo los del norte me diran a que me refiero,,la pronuncian muy diferente y aunque yo sabia que en el norte de Mexico mas que nada Sonora/Sinaloa hablan muchos asi (no todos) se me hacia raro pues yo la conoci diferente en voz jaja. Despues de todo ella nacio ahi en Sonora/Sinaloa y regreso ahi es logico hable asi, y me decia es que asi hablamos mucho los del norte. Muy linda ella y guapa ella asi como las chicas nortenias. Me la recordaste jeje
Yesss my family is from Sinaloa and we say chilo a lot .
I just love her sweetness! That Simba comment was the best and so spot on!
Girl I learned so much Mexican slang after moving to San Diego last year & im from LA! Lol my fav is
“Esta curada” = that’s dope
Lol
"Está curada" is mostly used up north, near the border tho. If you say it to someone who was born anywhere else in Mexico, chances are we won't understand. For instance, I was born and raised in Mexico City, and I first heard "está curado" last year (I was 21) when I made a trip to Cabo.
We say "curada" or "curado" in Sonora a lot... "ah qué curado" is very common jajaja I'm from Hermosillo, which is more than 150 miles from the border, by the way.
Northern Mexico is used as its weird or funny looking. Is when you see something or someone you can say está curado.
Wow! Your Spanish it’s so much better now! I’m so proud of you! si se puede!
Más videos con andrea y fernando plzzzz
I really relate to maya on a couple of different levels. For starters my name is also Maya and I’m also learning Spanish and trying to learn more about my heritage. I am half African-American and half Puerto Rican and I’m happy to know that I’m not in this journey alone.
I love you soo muchh!!! Besitos de Portugal❤️❤️❤️🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
Yes! Another Spanish learning video. I'm struggling to learn Spanish, too. I love learning Spanish but my progress is a bit slower than I want so it becomes a bit of a mental block. Your videos always inspire me, and of course, I can sneak in some more vocabs with your videos and the rest of the team's *hehe*
No pos guao made it to the list lmao
My husband is Mexican so this is very helpful. I can understand Spanish but need to improve speaking.
The little laugh after she uses the words, also she kinda sounds like Dora😂
I love that those are just general slangs, because when you get regional it can get tricky. Up in the Northeast you can hear us say things like: "Anda no!" - oh no, "Arre"- let's go, "Jalo" - count with me
Okay so highkey the guy who was like "do people still say that?" was handsome af 😍🤤
Calo is Pachuco (Pachuco originated in Juarez,Mexico then crossed over to my hometown (El Paso Texas also known as El Chuco Town )
2:45 that my real name Andrea 💕💖💕💖
me T OO!!
@@bubulynna9927 yay
Me too
That's my name
HERE ARE A FEW: ¡No se me achicopalé! (Don’t feel sad.) ¡No se agüité! (Don’t feel bad.) ¡No te chivés! (Don’t be embarrassed.) ¡No la riegues! (Don’t mess up.) ¡Voy pal’ jalé! (I’m going to work.) ¡La chamba! (work) ¡La Placa! (the Cops) ¡La Chota! (the Cops) “¡Se agarraron del moco!” (They got in a fight.) or “¡Se agarraron del chongo!” (Also, means they got in a fight, but refers to women.)
I studied Spanish formally at the university. My professors were from Spain and Latin America. But, Mexican slang, I learned that from my ex-boyfriend who worked in a restaurant. I would spend so many hours waiting for him to get off his shift that I learned the slang just from overhearing the workers in the kitchen. I also watched alot of Mexican movies.
How could I forget! *Lo metieron al bote* (LITERALLY: They stuck him in a can. TRANSLATION: He's in jail.)
Another one I forgot: *No chilles* (LITERALLY: Don't shriek! TRANSLATION: Don't cry.)
How could I have forgotten the most important one: "¡Ta calote!" (He is strong and muscular!) 🏋🏽
You’ll get there Maya! Órale!
I love her so much she reminds me of me I’m trying to learn Spanish and I’m Mexican and it’s hard with all these people around me speaking Spanish at my school and people making fun of me because I don’t know how to speak Spanish but she gives me hope
“You’re like Simba” 💀💀💀💀💀💀
from nuevo mexico, spend a long time in nebraska and feel right where you are. enough so, that i'm looking up spanish speakers on youtube just to keep up my language skills. liked and sub'd.
I still don’t know how to feel about those parents who just decided to speak more English than Spanish , however I love the people like Her who at least try to learn!!! Love you! No como otros que nomas tienen la cara de nopal y they refuse to learn . Like yeah we get that it’s not your fault but embrace your culture !
I doubt it was a conscious decision on their part. Language just naturally gets lost after generations if you don't constantly reinforce it at a young age, and things like both parents working plus the kids spending most of the day surrounded by English can really affect their ability to grasp the language even if the parents do try to teach them.
Take me for example, my parents are immigrants and spoke to me in Spanish for the most part, but they just weren't around enough when I was young and I didn't have any Spanish community around to reinforce what I did learn so I don't feel very comfortable speaking it even though I do understand it.
I’m 2nd generations but my mom didn’t teach us Spanish bc she wanted to practice with me and my sister to speak English. Plus since she was a single parent and didn’t had no family here she had to find way to learn to speak English, which made her a teacher assistant when we were young to starting her own cleaning business and it’s not like she forgot her culture but she know what it was like to feel discriminated for being Hispanic and didn’t want us to go through the same experience she did...her English isn’t perfect but she can have a full on conversation with you and she have some troubles for saying the words wrong(for example she says “waterhouse” instead if “warehouse” and her clients would look at her as if she just curse at them
Now my mom didn’t act like “those people” bc she stills talk to us in Spanish here and there and I could read and speak it (even though my grammar is soo wrong or I’m just saying the word sooo wrong) and we’ll make pupusa y tamales de gallinas, y pan con pollo but we dont have that community, bc I have friends who are Korean, Iranian, Filipino, Nigerian, Irish, etc
My point is to not lump all those parents that teach their kids English then Spanish bc we have different stories
Jen_ GreatGuys I respect all stories . Look you said your mom speaks it to you guys; so y’all know it some. However my point is I don’t know how to feel about those parents that choose to only speak/teach them English .
I have heard stories about the earlier immigrants that because of Americans if you spoke your language you would get in trouble.
That’s understandable but even in those cases because of my prideful roots . I would at least told my kids “okay we’ll only speak Spanish at home”. I understand the would be scare etc . But (excuse my language) fuck all those pendejos that think America is one religion, one language , one culture. You got to be proud of the blood that runs in your veins .
Elena HC my mom didn’t teach us Spanish not bc she was scared but bc if she wanted to succeed as the 1st generation to a new country, she had to learn the culture and the language to achieve as a single parent who happens to be latina... and I mean we didn’t speak it at home until I was in High School and I was lowkey one of those kid que se creer mucho to the point were I don’t even remember telling my tio to learn English bc everyone speak English 🤦🏻♀️ (I wanted to slap myself after learning that myself) but that’s bc I was a brat that grew up in a black community until my high school where I was put in Ap Spanish and had help from some of the ESL kids
But now that I’m older I love my pride as a Mexican-Salvadorian who was born in America, and I love it and I hate those that believe that America is the best or ”white wash” or have that ignorant mentality that think they can say ”Speak American bc we’re from America” And have that “safe mentality” bc they supported the republican/trump administration 🙄🙄
I get trigger when people blame the parents for not teaching their kids Spanish or any other native tongue bc not all story are the same
Jen_ GreatGuys whatever the case, we all have opinions . That’s why I bought that example, no matter what stories are I feel like parents should be proud of where they come from , you can’t teach them now okay encourage them to learn later idk man. But like i said I am respectful to all stories . I am not saying they are less Hispanic for not knowing Spanish . Hate that comment . What I am saying is an opinion with no type judgement! I am saying I don’t know how me,I, myself feels. That’s my comment . That’s all .
I feel ya Maya, because I keep watching Gadiel and Julissa on Pero Like I'm picking up on their accent as well as slang. Which I don't mind cuz damn Caribbean Spanish is yummy. Thanks for the influence!
mins away from hearing the himno de Mexico. VIVA LA PATRIAAAAAA 🇲🇽🇲🇽😤😭😤🇲🇽🇲🇽
lolol i loved this. especially "you just gotta find your roar". And Maya's getting so much better!
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL
Chingona! Pinche Dora! 😂😂😂🇲🇽Mexican Aztec (Issachar)!
Glad the truth is spreading ..Viva Issachar!
Okayy viva Mexicó❤
I grew up in a Puerto Rican household. Where my Mom spoke to my older brother and I in Spanglish (is that how it's spelled?) So even though we understand Spanish and can hold a little conversation. We don't fully speak it, but I'm 17 so I'm learning how to now. So hopefully I can learn to fully speak Spanish fluently.
SPANISH IS SOOOO HARD IM TRYING TO LEARN IM BLACK AND I WANT to ask my friends to help me but I don't want to feel uncomfortable 😢
why did you feel the need to mention you're black?
That’s ok it’s super easy the same way you pronounced it its most likely the way you write it. Don’t learn the castellano bullshit it’s a little more old school but no one really uses. If you wanna speak conversational Spanish you should be good in little time. 💯🤙🏼🇲🇽 I know what you meant by black. African American
“arre” is a word my Mexican family uses a lot to say “okay, deal” for example “quieres ir a tomar un café?” y el otro contesta “arre compa, vamos” oh and “compa” is also short for “compadre” which we use a lot too :)
Your eyebrows are so bomb!
This is great! I feel the same but with my Colombian culture. Please continue to update us on you progress.
Ese ¡híjole! en plena caída 👍
There's also regional Mexican slang! There's so much of it so don't beat yourself up. Keep on learning
Omg hiii I love u guys so much💜💜💜💜
Please keep making updates on your Spanish! They help a lotttt
"Me pichas esto" I don't know her 😂😂😂
I had never heard "me pichas" until I had a boyfriend from Sinaloa. In Sonora it was more common to say "me disparas".
What does that mean tho?
Anton “me pichas” or “me disparas” are the same thing but I guess depending from what part of Mexico those phrase are used more. Anyways it means can you pay or help me out with the remaining cost like invite me to a drink or dinner etc. Basically they got you covered
@@rosarioj4264 Doesn't "Disparar" mean "to shoot"? 🤔😯 I think it's just a Mexican slang, right? 😁
Anton yes you are correct it means to shoot, and yes your correct again it’s a Mexican slang see you know Mexican slang. Are you Mexican, Chicana/chicano, pocha/pocho? or is you around lots of Mexicans😄🤔
I'm catalan and when I was a teenager I used to watch a mexican teen soup opera called Rebelde, and most of mexican slag I learnt it from there, although I don't use it at all, but if somebody would say it, I would probably know what it means.
When you learned slang from Colombians so whenever she says concha 😳 you think of something else
Tamara Berry a te mamaste 😂
My first language is Spanish but since I grew up by the border ,by that i mean across the street, I picked up english
Small tip for learners: Our teachers yell at us if we use "guey" in the class room more than "no mames" because even though its used like the Spanish version for "dude" it is actually another way of saying "idiot" or "dumbass"
Bonus tip: And when typing we usually spell "no mames" as "nmmz" especially on social media
Lol as a black person learning Spanish...I know it sounds weird but the best place to learn Mexican slang is the strip Club
The thing about slang is that tone matters. So saying words in different tones changes their meaning. You should look up Albur next.
Good job but she be sounding so American 😂
i was born in america........jajajja
Right
Oh wow this brings me back to my childhood. I'm first gen mexican american so growing up i hung around my very Mexican family and my parents friends. I would always here this slang on the regular. As i got older with school and work i started hanging out people of different ethnicity/background. The office i currently work at is all Vietnamese. Listening to it now I realize that i really haven't been around mexicans and the culture in a while. I need to get back to that
Andrea!
Whooo Guadalajara!!!! My Grandma lives very close to there❤️ I’m bilingual and some times I feel embarrassed because I’ll visit my cousins and say something and then they’ll correct me on my pronunciation. The toughest part is that people expect you to be perfect in both languages and sometimes you just can’t do that.
lmaoo❤️🇲🇽
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's still learning spanish. Growing up we spoke spanglish in our household. It gets a bit frustrating for me when I try to communicate with my dad because I'm not fluent & speaking a sentence of spanish is nerve wracking, so I usually mix in some english (my dad isn't that good @ speaking english but he understands it. Kinda like me w/ spanish..)
I don't want to be rude but I think Concha has a mental block to learn Spanish. I understand it's hard to learn another language but many learn a new one as an adult. It's cute when you don't know and you mess up but it's been a while since she's been trying. I just feel a bit disrespect when she messes up basic phrases. Like don't do mess up for humour or to be cute. Any genuine mistakes is forgivable. Although making a mistake in a video about Spanish language when you had pretty much scripted everything else so the video would have structure. I just want her sincerely trying a bit more. Like I mentioned earlier, I feel disrespected especially since I also struggled learning Spanish the hard way after being bullied. Like I REALLY wanted to learn Spanish. This video reminded me the time in middle school when these boys cursed me out in Spanish and I just stood like an idiot because I didn't know any Spanish curse words. I could go into the issue of colorism as well, since I'm not sure if it's because I'm tan and clearly look Hispanic it's expected for me to know Spanish. Either way, my college Spanish class had many people without Latin descent who learned pretty well. Yes, working and learning a new language is hard but what about all the Hispanics who migrate to the US with families and learned English? Sure it's not healthy to compare ourselves to others due to different situations. Although I wanted to give my opinion and where I'm coming from when I mention feeling disrespected. I clicked the video because I wanted to learn as well and sorry the rant but it's a thought that has been hanging over my head from the intro of the video. She might be trying to be relatable for those struggling with Spanish but don't do it for humor. I know this is an unpopular and controversial comment. Thanks and looking forward to more videos!
runawaymuffin I’m trying to learn Spanish as well and I feel like I do this sometimes as a defense mechanism for when I actually get a phrase wrong. Maybe she’s doing it unintentionally or doing it to seem like she actually knows how to say it but is just joking around
You're too sensitive. BUCK UP BUTTERCUP
I love how versatile “no mames guey” is. If you are shocked “NO MAMES GUEY!! 😱” if you are sad or disappointed “no mames guey...😔” If you are annoyed “no mames guey! 🙄” if you are super excited “NO MAMÉS GUEY!!!!!! 😃”
Please do a video on mexican sayings. There are sooo many for basically anything and everything.
