Don't sweat it or don't worry about it. It is used to tell someone to ignore a problem or not to pay attention to something that might be bothering them.
A casual way to say okay, alright, or cool, often used when acknowledging a goodbye. (It is a contraction of the phrase 'está todo bien,' meaning everything is good.)
Used when you are telling someone a story and they cut you off with "Ya," killing the vibe. That damn "Ya" is interpreted as, I get it, now shut up, making it awkward to keep talking.
A: Yesterday I was walking and I saw a five-legged cat licking the ass of a dog with five pimples and I took a photo. B: Ya. A: So... uh... A: "Ya"? Mmm, now what?
Derived from Tato, which is short for esta todo bien (it is all good). The suffix la is added to give the word more flair or swagger (vacaneria refers to the Dominican concept of being cool or bacan).
Used to describe something as cool, excellent, or in perfect condition. It implies that an object, an action, or a person's appearance is flawless, high quality, or visually attractive. (In the Dominican Republic, this is a standard way to say something looks sharp or is top-notch).
1. That car is so nitida. 2. That girl is so nitida.
A phrase meaning okay, alright, or fair enough, used as a playful or casual way to agree. It is a contraction of the phrase 'Ah, pues está bien' and is common slang among streetwise guys. (Raymond Pozo is a famous Dominican comedian who popularized the expression through his characters).
A: Hey, let's go to the beach! B: No, I really don't feel like it. A: But come on, there are girls! B: A po ta bien!
A very common Dominican expression used as a verbal way to say goodbye or to signal that a matter is resolved. It is a variation of tato, which is slang for it is all good.
