[dmoney101]

Technically I think that would be spelled, "para que lo sepas", but sometimes we have tendency to talk so fast that we gobble up the "s" and the "r" sounds. I personally have heard "epa" too while people are dancing to uplifting music like salsa or merengue.

idk about the sepas (because idk what that word means jaja) but yea about the para part. pa is just short for para

para que tu sepas = for you know it

saber, one of the conjugations of saber is sepas

It's "Presente del subjuntivo" of the second person singular

ohh ! I didn't think that, you're right... We use "padre" just joking with friends, like "Voy a ver si logro convencer a mi padre..." but it's not that normal... Ahh

Here we use papá and mamá when talking to them but if we are talking with somebody else about them we use mi padre, mi madre, we don't say mi papá or mi mamá

wow, that sounds really weird to me. the only time i use padre is for a priest jaja
even papá is more formal than i like :P

[damarys]

I agree with xiurell; when referring to the parents, they are "mi padre" and "mi madre". A priest would be "el padre"... right?

[DeBaires]

Yeah, "un padre" is a priest...most people can probably figure it out based on the context
