Hi Joyce (Urbaniak)... you are correct... however, we are talking slang here.
The word "dale" has different meanings, depending on how it is used. -
Yeah sorry...I thought it was implied that we were talking slang... Originally Posted by Urbaniak

But in the Caribbean or PR (as I would know it) They have adapted the word to mean: Go for it...or Do it...But it also holds true to its literal translation...Depends on the sentence...
Sorry for the confusion!

Hi Bebe
Thanks for clearing that up for me.
As you know I am learning spanish so I am in a state of confusion most of the time.LOL When slang is thrown in it can sometimes get REALLY confusing. But I keep on keepin' on. Thanks for the clarification.

A team once again! The reason I translated "get set" it's because that is the phrase that is used in English when people are competing:
On your marks, get set, go!
I have never heard it said "On your marks, ready, go" BUT, I have heard little kids on the play ground say:
Ready, set, go!
Same meaning. Too long of an explanation. Sorry... I'm procrastinating again. Back to work! -
athnk you. based on the beat of the song that makes lots of sense

You are very welcome.

Hello everyone!
Maybe you have already answered to this and I'm sorry if I make u to repeat the answer, but I need to know the meaning of 2 words :
1. candela -I heard this word so much like in dale candela or echale (not sure if I've spell it wright) candela
2. tumbao-like in Celia Cruz song-"La negra tiene tumbao" ...
Thanks! -
nope we're not puerto rican. the word chilosa came from the group prima J, and its used to describe a girl who is classy, fiesty, and sassy. Originally Posted by dmoney101

Hi I had some questions too,
1. What is the spanish word for "damn"? Like, damn that boy is hot!
2. What about a cholo? I know what they look like, but is it like a latino gangster or something and what about the colors they have? Something like bloods and crips?
3. Last one about a cholo too, what is the exact meaning of "ese"?
Love this topic anyway, you guys are so nice helping us all out
