Question

What does that mean??

It's the title of an article on ElJueves.es

What verb would be Semos?

Answer 1

Hahaha... it had to be from Spain. It is written badly in order to reflect the way some people talk coloquially. The correct sentence would be "Somos así". That magazine is full of slang from Spain, and very often they write exactly the way some people talk, because they want the readers to imagine it more vividly, instead of writing the correct way. It is a good resource for slang, but not for proper standard Spanish.

Answer 2

Slang can be good but the problem is that you need to know that it is slang. The use of slang can depend on age/occupation/level-of-formality.. One needs to know, not only, who (but under what circumstances) an expression may be used.

Answer 3

ahahaha, i figured so much, I love that website for it's slang!! Usually I'm so proud of myself when i understand it, but that one was hard...

Thanks Lazarus!
