~ Ok- Ok. Same in both languages just be careful, you don't want to agree to anything crazy. One time I heard a story about a guy who almost adopted a baby...
~ Puedes hablar mas lento?- Can you speak slower? Useful in situations when you don't know what the heck is going on. I get to use it a lot.
~ Lo siento. Mi (Mami, Papi, Amigo/a) no esta aquí.- I'm sorry. My (Mom, Dad, Friend) isn't here. Very popular with Reese. Usually followed with a Chao.
~ Chao- Casual goodbye. Chao, kiss on check, Ok bye bye now.
~ Puedes ayudarme?- Can you help me? Sometimes asking for help is the only way to get around.
~ Vecino/Veci- It's a name for someone who's name you forgot or don't know. Translates directly to neighbor. I wish there was a word for this in English.
~ Loco/a- Crazy. Mi perro es loco, mi hermana es loca, y mi vida es loca. Good fallback word if thing get loco.
That's all for now vecinos. Comment if you liked this post so I can decide if I should do it again.
Chao amigos,
