What do wea and ya po mean in chile?

…

You know the question is more “what don’t they mean”.

In Chile ya po is pretty much just like “yup” or “sure”. It shows up a lot after a bunch of different sentences. People just kind of put it on.

Oh man. wea in Chile is like “thing” or “dude”.

It comes from weón/weona which is slightly vulgar in its origin since it probably comes from huevón but weón/weona is just how you commonly call people “dude” or “girl/chick”

But it can have the meaning of “idiot” or “dumbass”, like es un aweonao means “he’s an idiot” and people also use andar con la wea like “to not be feeling well” or “to not feel quite right”

Chilean Spanish is more confusing for me personally because context is so important.

[studykorean101]

Hello, I’m just wondering if ~이라니 is a grammar point or if it’s only a colloquial thing?

Hi there! It’s more grammar than it is colloquial, however, it’s used pretty casually! The ending -(이)라니 is attached to nouns that the speaker focuses on in the specific sentence. From my understanding, you use -(이)라니 when you’re:

surprised

angry

disappointed

embarrassed

worry

-이라니 - attached to consonants-라니 - attached to vowels

Some Examples:

[Worry]

유림: 큰일났어 - I’m in big trouble희주: 무슨일이야? 큰일이라니?? - what’s going on? what’s the problem??

[Dissapointment]

희주: 여행선물을 기대했는데 고작 사온게 열쇠고리 하나라니… - I was excited to get a souvenir, but all I got was a keychain…

[Surprise]

희주: 뭐야? 이게 식물이라니! - what? this is a plant!

For verbs and adjectives, you use “-다니”:

맛있다니… - It’s delicious…

도서관이 왜 시끄럽다니? - why is the library noisy?

I hope I conveyed the proper emotion through my examples! If you still need help, don’t hesitate to shoot me a message so I can clear up the confusion! Happy Learning :)
