My family uses wapa to show excitement. Like when someone scores in a basketball game they’ll be like “weeeeepppaaaaaa!” I’ve never herd it as hello

[@LearnSpanishWorld]

Thanks for your comment. True! I remember Ricky Martin's songs in the 90 s Weeeepaaa 1,2,3 Un pasito pa lante Maria :)

[@midiamelisarivera7999]

Welllllll I meeeeeeeeeeaannnnn How to exain lol When someone uses Wepa its normaly said to someone you knowo or in a party. Its also used to hype something like Ricky Martin said.

[@cigarillo22]

Wepa is a term coming from Canarios immigration to Puerto Rico.

[@Distaval]

Go to school to learn proper Spanish only to find out my Puerto Rican family does not speak proper Spanish. This was a huge help. Brutal!

In another Latin American countries, "ligar" means mostly to flirt. In Puerto Rico, "ligar" is a very serious deal. It means "to peep".

Duro = SOLID (popular 70's slang.]

[@kenshikawaii3088]

No usamos ahorita decimos "horita" para después. Y la palabra duro como cuando alguien es bueno en algo, no se sí es dependiendo el pueblo pero de dónde soy decimos por ejemplo "él es un duro bailando" o tú estás duro refiriéndonos que la persona tiene buen cuerpo, pero no se ve bien decírselo a cualquiera pues podría ser una falta respeto. La frase que es la que ? Desde pequeña siempre dije Que es la que la que? En forma saludo y queriendo preguntar " Que hay? O Que cuentas? Hay muchas muchas más expresiones en mi Borinquen preciosa 💕 mis favoritas son las abreviadas del inglés haciendo spanglish 😄💓.

[@alondraalicea3052]

7:16 this is super old slang, mostly used in the 1980-90 no one really says this unless it is and elderly. 7:33 se lo llevo el pateco is no longer used this is super old slang as well.

[@user-so9sq7kn7k]

Yea i dont hear does phrases anymore

[@alyrios]

I beg to differ. I still use both of them and I am no where near "elderly" (50 is the new 20 they say)

[@tedfebo1741]

Not all, but I've never heard that " que leche" statement before.

[@alyrios]

@@tedfebo1741 is old school, those of us who grew up during 70's/80's had used it, may still use it.

[@joserodriguez-wm3bm]

jendio como patilla

[@migdaliavasquez672]

No is not it’s coquito 🇵🇷

[@tedfebo1741]

Corillo, not corrillo.

[@alondraalicea3052]

4:42 pari isnt necessarily a puerto rican word it was taken from the word party not only boriquas use this because it isnt only boriqua slang but spanglish in general.

[@joserodriguez-wm3bm]

se lo llevo pateco pateco travajaba en el cementerio de la puerta pa dentro no podia entrar nadie se despedian del muerto en la puerta y pateco se llevava al muerto poreso cuando alguien muere dicen se lo llevo pateco

[@JorgeGonzalez-ds9ht]

Fuego? It's afuego

[@tedfebo1741]

You can just say pela'o for broke.

[@LearnSpanishWorld]

Gracias for your additional information Ted ☺

[@alondraalicea3052]

9:23 this phrase is said in normal spanish context it means Hurry up you're late

[@LearnSpanishWorld]

Gracias amigo :)

[@tedfebo1741]

¿Que es la que? Means-what it is?

[@tashapiazza8808]

Honestamente nunca he escuchado a un boricua decir leche ni fuego

[@LearnSpanishWorld]

Ha de ser una expresión mas antigua. Saludos

[@lycaonpictus4433]

Leche si la escuchado mucho y la e usado , pero fuego no "A-fuego "si ,

[@tedfebo1741]

Pana is Spanglish-it comes from partner.

[@cigarillo22]

Or short for companas...

[@alondraalicea3052]

2:13 Leche is milk either way Boriquas don't say que leche, they say que afortunando. Trust me my first languge was spanish, and i was raised for my first five years in Puerto Rico.

[@nurgio317]

True but leche is used more regularly in slang. OR when sarcastically pointing out someone’s luck

[@alondraalicea3052]

Thankyou for pointing that out, it is kind of hard knowing three languages and keeping up with each of their slang, so my bad.

[@veronicasepulveda8468]

Normally it’s “que suerte” than “afortunado” in Puerto Rico.
