polyglot-oneday:

Since my country is in a real crisis right now (x, x), I wanted to take the time to celebrate the uniqueness of Venezuela and bring a little light and hope to the real character and awesomeness of our people by gathering a list of words we use every day that might seem odd to other people!

So let’s start:

• Chevere - good, okay, nice, great (it’s used like a lot)
  
• Chamo/a - bro, guy, boy, dude / girl
  
• Conchale - jeez, come on
  
• Pana - friend, buddy, friendly person
  
• Muérgano - rude, evil person
  
• Papaya/papayita - very easy (and yes, there’s the fruit too but we call it lechosa)
  
• Burda - a lot, really
  
• Coroto - utensil, object
  
• Bululú - a gathering of many people
  
• Cambúr - banana (another fruit we changed the name of haha)
  
• Achantado - a slow person
  
• Catire/a - a blond / blonde person
  
• Tal cual - as it is
  
• Chimbo - bad situation or cheap thing. Also can be used as “that sucks”
  
• Enratonado - to be really hungover
  
• Gafo - goofy, stupid
  
• Na’guará - wow, an exclamation
  
• Caramba - an expression of surprise same as na’guará
  
• Chalequear - to make fun of a person
  

Hope you enjoyed this list! There are many more so feel free to add them if you please
