Chilean Spanish is known for its unique slang and rapid speech. Common expressions include: “Weon/a” (dude, mate – use cautiously as it can be offensive), “Cachai” (understand? got it?), “Bacán” (cool), “Fome” (boring), “Al tiro” (right away), “Pololear” (to date). “Po” is often added to the end of sentences for emphasis. “¿Cómo estai?” is a common informal greeting. Chilean slang can be complex, so it’s best to learn through context and practice.
