DovalJune 2019 Here are a few of my favorites: Qué lo qué - Contraction of "qué es lo que hay" (K lo k or KLK in SMS) - What's up? Ah po' 'tá bien (Ah pues está bien) - Okay; sure. Un chin - A little; a bit; a small amount. Un fracatán/Un bojote - (The opposite of "un chin.") A very large amount; a "crapload." Dar bola - Give (offer) a ride (in a car or on a "pasola" (scooter)) ¡Echa pa'llá! - Move over! Anda el diablo/diache/diañe/diantre - Literally, the devil walks (diache, diañe, and diantre are some of the euphemisms used in the DR to avoid saying "devil.") An expression of surprise, frustration, or concern. |

DovalJune 2019 Echa pa'llá is not really specific to the Dominican Republic. But it is a fun expression to use.
