Professional TeacherMexican slang: ¡Chale!
If you have Mexican friends or family, especially from central Mexico, I'm pretty sure that, from time to time, you have heard the expression ¡chale!
Do you know what the meaning is? I'll give you two examples using the word in context and you tell me its meaning.
Conversación 1
Marco: Ana, ¿sabías que Mario perdió su empleo la semana pasada?
Ana: ¡Chale! No tenía idea. Debe estar muy preocupado por su futuro.
Marco: Sí, pobre Mario.
Conversación 2: dos novios en su casa, Roberto está viendo las noticias por televisión.
Roberto: ¡Chale!
Rebeca: ¿Qué pasa, Roberto?
Roberto: Están diciendo que acaban de cancelar los vuelos al extranjero una vez más.
Rebeca: ¡Chale, nuestro viaje a Europa es la siguiente semana!
Roberto: Sí, chale. ¡Qué mala onda!
