When I lived in Mexico, güero/güera also meant “of fair skin”. My aunt, for example, always used güera when talking about her very light-skinned and blue-eyed daughter.

[@thee_calamity]

Yea I was kind of confused as to why she said that it meant blonde. I always thought they called anyone with light skin “güero.”

[@moisesfuentes2090]

[@shelbybutler9714]

I heard it was the equivalent of calling someone "Whitey".

[@TheCatWitch63]

@ Yes, but not in a pejorative or insulting fashion. You must understand that colorism is very prevalent in many Latin American countries, and being white or of lighter skin is desired and often seen as a quality or even a distinction of being better. Therefore, terms like güero/güera in Mexico or chelito/chelita in El Salvador, for example, are - at worst - just a way to describe a light-skinned person, but they are quite often used as a compliment, at least by the majority of people. Of course, there are always people who would use those terms in a derogatory manner.

I’ve seen it used both ways. My moms family has a lot of blondes, but I’ve also been called guero but only because I’m pale

Yeah working in the kitchen is a classic way people have learned languages. You can learn French, Italian, Vietnamese anything. There's a specific dialect called kitchen French. Its the way French is spoken in the restaurant industry. I think a similar thing is developing with Spanish.

As an American who lived in Mexico for 5 years, this video is on point. I learned all of these words and phrases while living there. Honestly, if you are interested in learning to speak Spanish naturally with Mexicans, you NEED to learn these words, phrases, expressions. Buena suerte!

[@B3OWULF416]

Hiya, I'm a White man from Fresno California and when I delved into picking up Spanish I specifically looked for a book that focused on Mexican Spanish. I knew already there were differences from others such as slang, shorthand phrases, and some words more unique. And since I lived in a predominantly Mexican region i just found it logical to focus on that dialect. It makes the bonding a bit more unique. I ended picking up more through speech than literature though.

Its so interesting to me as bilingual speaker living on the US/Mex border, to see how accent is so difficult to overcome for some native spanish speakers even though their vocabulary and grammar is great.

[@juanmccoy3066]

Well my first language isn't even Spanish and I didn't even learn Spanish until I was a teenager. Didn't get good at speaking until I was in my 20s. Yet I still have a thick Spanish accent. Sometimes it just comes with the region too. If you live in New Mexico or west Texas you WILL pick up a Spanish accent. Even if you're a white person. Unless you're very well sheltered from the culture that is. I know white people that have accents just from hanging around people like me. Working and being near us. And I have the accent because my family has it. Because my grandparents were bilingual. So its not something I can just shed. It's part of me. But it's not necessarily the same as an immigrant accent. It's still noticeable though. When I visit my mom out of state they all hear it. They think I "sound like a mexican" To me they sound like back water hicks with sing song voices.

I would feel like a 40 year old saying any of those. That's just from my perspective though, those words/expressions are still very much in use in some regions.

You just have to guage which words you use around elders, strangers, friends, and family.

Keep in mind that language grows, changes, and evolves over time; and has regional words. I'd always thought that for boyfriend and girlfriend "chavo" and "chava" were used by Mexican Americans in Texas and "novio" and "nova" in California. I am sure I am mistaken because I spend long periods of time not speaking Spanish around other Mexican Americans because so many didn't learn to speak it. Older people tend to be 2nd generation (decendents of Braceros from WWII who were not deported in the 1950s) and so many younger people today are more recently arrived. Thank you for the video.

[@juanmccoy3066]

Nah. This isnt really modern teen slang. This is more slang in the sense of all people using it. Every age. Not all slang is used exclusively by young people. Even in English we have examples of this. Cool is a slang word invented by baby boomers. Everyone uses it. Boomers didn't turn 40 and stop using it. They still use it. Boomers are like 75 on average now so we now have people on their 70s that still say "cool" and other slang terms like "man" or even "bro". Even my grandpa says bro. That's a timeless slang term that the youth still uses today. But kids will take it further. When I was a kid we said "dope" and "lit" The kids now have their own words. But nobody is going to look at you funny if you say cool. It's the very basic slang word that everyone knows. That's what these slang terms are. They're like universal terms that most everyone knows that speaks the language. They're a bit regional but still, timeless examples. And then you have slang terms that do go out of style. Boomers had words like groovy for example. No one says that anymore. Not even 75 year Olds. Very few people say lit but dope has had real staying power which itself was resurrected by millennials from gen x. Gen z still uses it. So does gen alpha. Gen z has weird shit like "cheugy" that no one is going to be saying in 20 years. But "rizz" might have staying power. It's an easily accessible word that sounds like the thing it's describing. Blends very nicely. In 20 years the kids will say something else but will probably still use rizz as well. And gen z will be middle aged but still using it. Because language doesent go by the rules of Hollywood and television tropes.

A Mexican expression i hear frequently is, ". . . mi cai gordo" (Probably misspelled). From context I've interpreted the expression "cai gordo" to mean that I don't like or disagree with somthing. I only hear this in Mexican Spanish. The opposite seems to be, "Eso mi cai bien."

It is standard Spanish, not only mexican slang

[@stephenino]

This was done very well. It covered a lot of stuff I’ve heard, but didn’t full understand at the time. I could more or less figure out what was being said, but took away any confusion I may have had. But I’d still need to either write all of these words down and/or watch this video a few more times, because there were time you moved on to the next example. I didn’t have enough time to process all of your information.

Me gustan las phrases , no hay bronca, no manches y chido

[@TellMeInSpanishEng]

Jajaja son de mis favoritas!

[@edmurray7317]

En las comedias mexicanas en la tele, se usa, "NO manches" cada 5 segundos.

Que' padre la leccio'n y la professora! Estuvo muy chida!!!

[@SarahLynn-h6s]

Mis amigos en México son de mi edad, entre 20 y 26 años, nunca en la vida los he escuchado decir "que pex", jaja, "que pedo" si, y jamás para decir se puso pedo, usarían "se puso pex", creo que eso nadie lo diría, jaja.

Hola Sara) Me gusta mucho como describiste. Muy interesante. Estoy aprendiendo espanol aproximadamente 2 anos. Por eso no se mucho palabras) Muchas gracias.

It’s important to note that slang varies a little bit from region to region in Mexico. For instance, in the state of Sinaloa you would say “chilo” instead of “chido.”

I was told "guey" is an appropriation of the word "buey," which means "ox." Thus it would be a synonym for calling a person a "dumb ox."

[@BrendaLeigh]

I was told that it meant a bull without balls, so I never use that word.

[@emuejevoke5760]

Great video!!!

[@blackhollow2463]

Cool video, but I don't agree with the güero part, I don't know where you're from, but to me it doesn't have anything to do with hair color but rather skin color. So when someone is clearly white, they're called güero or güera, and I'm sure in most parts of Mexico it is used that way.

[@HolisticTraumaTherapy]

Thank you so much. I speak Spanish, but I sometimes don’t get these nuances. Thank you.

[@josephtrainer2929]

I really enjoyed and found useful this tutorial. However, it was way too fast to digest…

[@rfoxenvy6354]

Pause it then

[@lisafrizzell1252]

Thanks

[@carolmills539]

Loved the lesson but you go too fast. I keep having to hit pause and repeat.

[@SarahLynn-h6s]

Puedes cambiar la velocidad del video, busca las opciones.

[@giggityeffyou]

Need help with anything? I’m fluent in English and I also grew up speaking Spanish but it’s my second language.

[@mikeciul8599]

I counted that as a positive, I used pause and repeat but I really appreciate hearing what things sound like when they're spoken without slowing down.

[@MeglynLad]

Click on the gear at the top of the video and slow the video down to half speed or whatever is good for you.
