jevi - dominican meaning
I see this word 'jevi' in different contexts - for example on the front of various magazines or also as written to me below:
"yo aki pasandoe jevi .. tu sabe.. te uid.. "
I would like to know if there are various interpretations.
Thanks.

Jevi in Spain is a phonetic transliteration of "heavy".
Jevi metal = Heavy metal.
By the way, that way of writing Spanish is like "Yo man! Hau ar yu'" in English.
I'm going to make a wild guess here, since I know nothing at all about Dominican Spanish. The quote you gave doesn't even look Spanish, but when you consider the Spanish sounds of the letters "jevi," if read by a Spanish speaker, would sound almost like the English word "heavy." Perhaps this is a word borrowed from the English slang used a generation ago, as in "Boy, that's a heavy thought."
Jody, just a thouhgt: he means heavy
Yo aquí pasándolo "heavy" (mal, regular..)
Here I am , having a bad time...
Lazarus o Calvo...¿Y esto qué puede ser?
tu sabe.. te uid
Tú sabes...'''
Is it as below:
"yo aki pasandoe jevi .. tu sabe.. te uid.. "
I am passing by here girl... you know
take care
Tu sabe... te uid
he means "you know... take care" he is writing in short form/chat.
Are there other meanings for "jevi" because I see it on the front of some spanish women's magazines but this word does not translate in dictionaries. Obviously it is common if used on magazine covers. does it also mean girl or woman? I also found it discussed as "hot".

My guess: It's some kind of variation on "que te cuides."
I can only say: you have a flourishing fantasy, interpreting that jevi means girl.
and this: te uid...means take care.
as it appears, you dont' need any more letters: Que te cuides or cuidate
Jevi is a street word(slang) for heavy. what is said here is... I am here with you passing a nice time
Thanks - I really don't understand 'jevi' at all, that's why I am asking. And when i see it on the front of women's magazine covers - "heavy" doesn't make sense to me... but that is the only interpretation coming up in this discussion, so i guess it is so...

This same question came up on WR, and here is a reply from a Dominican.
"jevi" si viene de la palabra "heavy;" nosotros, los dominicanos, decimos jevi...creo que lo dicen tambien en otros paises.
o sea, no decimos pesado porque más o menos hemos cambiado lo que significa la palabra. ya "jevi" no es para decir que algo pesa mucho, sino que es algo "cool."
