Dominican Spanish is known for its fast pace and unique expressions. Common slang includes: “Klk” or “Que lo que” (What’s up?), “Tigre/Tiguere” (dude, guy), “Vaina” (thing, stuff), “Chevere” (cool), “Guagua” (bus), “Un chin” (a little bit). “Mangú” refers to a popular dish and can also mean “mess”. Dominicans often drop the ‘s’ at the end of words. Remember, Dominican slang can be very localized, so pay attention to how it’s used in context.
