¨Cool¨ in Spanish? cool = awesome not cold

Question

How do you say "cool" which means awesome (not cold) in Spanish?

Answer 1

"Cool" depends on where you are...

For example, I am in Spain now, and they use "guay" (pronounced like "why" in english). "How cool!" = "¡Que guay!"

But in Mexico, you would say "¡Que padre!" or "¡Que chido(a)!"

Answer 2

There was just another thread on this same subject.

What's Cool?

Answer 3

You could say, que chido, que chingon, que perron , que padre, que chevere. There are more but not coming to me at this part of the night. 2:00am

Answer 4

Chido o genial.

You could say-

Está chido tu carro. Your car is cool/awesome.

¡Que chida es tu casa! How cool/awesome is your house!

Answer 5

Bear in mind that "cool" is slang (in English), st least with this meaning. The more that you get into slang the more you will encounter regional/local differences (one of the defining characteristics of slang is that it is regional). Thus a reasonable equivalent for "cool" will depend largely on where you are (or the origin of the people with whom you wish to use the term).

Answer 6

Well, awesome en español is: alucinante, so I guess that's kinda close!

Answer 7

cool:

"chévere"
