So u have to have a dominican friend whose mom throws down hard in the kitchen if u want the real deal!

I wish! I live in a very isolated part of the country. There are no Cubans around (other than me), much less Dominicanos. I can go weeks without talking to any one in Spanish. Por eso llamo a mi mami cada semana por telefono.

mamao = sucker or co*k su*ker....it can be offensive depending on who you say it to or how you say it...but the direct translation to the word is the above....

ooo iight thanks =)

i also have one more question. in hector el father's song sola, i understand it all except part of the beginnin. i found the lyrics online dunno if theyre right but

"no es normal no
y cada lagrima
q brota de su vida
ta' perdida
no no no es normal
y el silencio del ataque
le duele caderidad
y tengo el presentimiento
de que llora por dentro"


que significa "caderidad"??

I think is wrong written

"le duele cada herida" has more sense

That's exactly right sir! lol

Back to your original question... after the insight from xiurell and bebestyle... here is the translation:

"le duele cada herida" - "each wound hurts him/her"

hell yea, i wish i had a hispanic abuela. i love when my one friend's grandma is at home (she went back to mexico for a while) because every time i go over, she always cooks the best tastin stuff ever. i don't even know how she does it because it takes like 10 minutes to put together something delicious.

and btw, you're the only person on this forum that i understand 100% of the time. i have no idea how i managed to learn dominican spanish so well, but i can barely understand when a latin american tries to talk to me jaja

Caballota is Ivy Queen's nickname...it's like saying she's the best female in reggaeton.

Jeva just means girl...like "Ivy Queen es mi jeva" Ivy Queen is my girl....

Ajore means to rush...No me ajore = don't rush me

Calmona means to do it calm...Yo voy calmona pa la disco...o voy pa la disco calmona...means I go to the club calm

Satas just means loose, horny girls....Gatas satas...loose(easy) girls

Algarete is like crazy...out of control....

entola is like physical condition....it depends on the context in which its used.

@Bebe.... wow do you really are a slangs guru!!

damn, you never give me the time to get on and answer any questions about slang jaja
just wanna add that jeva can also be used as your "girlfriend" the way guys just call em their "girl" in english. i like novia better since it's a lil bit more respectful, but whatever you like jaja (it's better than tipa)

I just foun out the meaning of this Panamanian slang, and thought I would post it here.

Qué sopa? is Panama's version of slang for what's up? It's sort of a pig latin for Qué pasa.
And depending on your inflection, it can also mean what type of soup?
I asked someone in a Yahoo group called Spanish in Panama.
Here is a link to a video of the song. You can see from the actions of the people that they use like Qué pasa?
It's nice to be able to answer a question on this forum. You a giving me so much help.
