    if u want to speak better... use the stuff u do know and try to make sentences, us latin people are very helpful so if u screw up Im sure your bf will help you out.. but just keep trying and eventually youll get used to it

    speaking of aguanile, also, what does "mai" mean really? it's not just in aguanile... someone uses it like, "mi mai" right?
    " mi mai" means "mi madre" thats also something we use in dominican! combo is a boricua word for My crew but sicario in dominican is like a skinny person or someone whos deathly skinny like bulemic!

    -Enterita: Comes from 'entera' (whole). It means that the girl is 'really fine' (she has the WHOLE package)

    -Meneate: Waggle the hips. Move hips or butt in a circular motion. Not the same as shaking.

    -Humo amargo: 'Sour smoke'.
    humo amrgo is like being piss drunk... the rest are correct!

    -Pelon- The only meaning I know is 'bald'

    -Machucando- Means 'smashing'. This is an allusion to the way people dance reggaeton (smashing the girl's rear).

    -atabajo (correct spelling is hasta abajo)- go down, or to go down. Usually yelled at girls, or to a couple so they go as low as they can.

    Cangri- A person that is respected. Equivalent to saying 'tha man'. This is strictly Puertorican I think.

    I hope that clarifies a little . If you want, look for more, I am glad to help...
    giales is actually yales which does mean girls, ladies, women

    Jangueo- I hang out, from the verb "Janguear"
    Eliel- i do believe that is the name of the man Don Omar sings for.

    i have NO idea what Donkeo is...
    once again, if any of this is wrong, sorry, but im just tryin to help. Corrections R great!
    Donkeo is like to dunk but depending on how its said it means donk like the souljah boy song she got a donk!

    Disco is slang for club

    literally it's "parrot machine" lol. Even using the slang version of cotorra (a girl that talks to much) it sounds wrong.
    cotorra is any one in general who talks to much but makina de cottora is someone who talks way to much like a robot who was made to talk

    cotorra is not a place in la republica dominicana manito! toxic crow is from los minas, santo domingo
