A multi-purpose exclamation used for complaints, strong denial, or disagreement. It functions similarly to saying no way, not a chance, or whatever to dismiss what someone else said.
Que va, that kid just won't get his act together. / Nah que va, if you do not like what I am saying, then leave. / Que va, it was not like that.
To be mad or angry. In Panama, the words 'enojado' and 'molesto' are rarely used, as Estar bravo is the default way to express being upset in almost any context.
'Don't talk to your dad, he is está bravo with you' : 'Honey, don't get te pongas brava, look, I didn't say it with that intention'
An exclamation used to voice annoyance, irritation, or frustration. It serves as a milder way to express exasperation (it is a softened variation of a common Venezuelan swear word).
Vertiale, you really are a pain. / Vertiale my friend, stop being such a nuisance. / Just stay quiet, vertiale!
A severe insult used to describe someone as a bastard or a despicable person, which can provoke a violent reaction. In informal settings, it is also used as a crude term of endearment or banter between close friends. (Literally meaning badly born, the term is highly offensive in formal or neutral contexts).
You are a malparido, man. / Your wife is a malparida, she went into my house and robbed me. / Come here, malparido, and we will settle this. / Hey, malparido, come on, let's go dance.
A regional variation of the word maldicion (damn or curse), used as a vulgar interjection to express frustration or annoyance. (In the Zulia region of Venezuela, speakers often replace the letter l with an r, a linguistic trait of the local Maracucho dialect).
Mardición, I got a flat tire. / I cannot believe the bank is already closed, Mardición!
A variation of the word maldicion (damn or curse) specific to the slang of Zulia state. It is an interjection used to express intense frustration, annoyance, or shock. (People from Zulia are culturally known for their distinct accent and for using curses as common emphasis).
Marditación, it is so hot! / Marditación, but this is really expensive!
An exclamation used to express intense frustration, annoyance, or anger. It is a phonetic variation of the phrase maldita sea, literally meaning damn it or curse it, reflecting a common regional pronunciation where the l is replaced by an r (in Venezuela, the word cola refers specifically to a traffic jam).
Marditasea, what a traffic jam, I am going to be late. / I can not call, marditasea, I have no credit. Marditasea, did you know that guy cheated on me?
Slang from the Venezuelan state of Zulia, a triple-intensified version of mardito (literally cursed or damned). It is used as a harsh insult, similar to calling someone a bastard or motherfucker. (In Zulia, speakers often use the prefix tri to multiply the intensity of an existing slang word).
You are a trimardito. / Look trimardito, we will settle this real quick. / You are a trimardito, you jerk!
A versatile and vulgar exclamation used to express intense anger, frustration, or annoyance. (In Venezuela, this is one of the most common and potent profanities, used as a general oath when something goes wrong or to vent frustration).
Coño e'la madre Ramon, how much longer? / Coño e'la madre, this neighbor is pissing me off.
An exclamation used to punctuate a final decision or command, asserting authority. It is also widely used to express strong emotions such as frustration, annoyance, or triumph.
You do not rule yourselves, you are grounded, CARAJO! / CARAJO! and who told this guy he was invited? / Let is go, that is my team CARAJO!
An exclamation used to express shock, frustration, or to emphasize a quality. It acts as a versatile filler similar to damn or for real, often serving as a milder alternative to stronger profanity (in Venezuela, broma is a common euphemism for more vulgar words).
A la broma, you really crossed the line. / That girl is seriously fat, a la broma. / A la broma, just do whatever you want!
A vulgar exclamation used to express frustration, annoyance, or regret. It is a stronger way to say dammit or for fuck's sake when a mistake is made or when protesting someone's behavior. (In Venezuela, pepa literally means seed, but in this phrase it serves only to intensify the vulgarity of the word coño.)
Coño e´la pepa! I forgot to turn off the stove. / Coño e´la pepa! are you going to keep it up?
An exclamation used to express surprise, complaint, or annoyance. It functions like saying damn, wow, or for god's sake. (In the Cibao region it is pronounced Ei Pipo, and in the South it is pronounced Err Pipo).
1. Dude, is that car yours? piiipooo! 2. Gas prices went up again, el pipo! 3. You are such a pain, Pipoo! 4. Oh man, el pipo, we are screwed.
