What does "Que Varvaro" mean?

Question

What does "Que Varvaro" mean? I know it is an exclamation of maybe frustration or something like Oh my gosh, but what does it mean literally? Is it clean? Thanks.

Answer 1

Hi dangross,

Are you sure that it's not "Qué bárbaro."

I'm sure that's it. Thanks. :) - dangross9, ABR 3, 2010

Answer 2

I think you mean barbaro. It can either mean marvelous or uncouth.A standard adjective, not vulgar

Answer 3

Qué barbaro means, "How barbaric" or "that's barbaric". Yes, it is a common expression in some Latin American countries. It is used commonly where I live in Honduras. The letter "v" is pronounced like a "b" so your spelling was just a little off.

Answer 4

Qué bárbaro!, means How barbaric!, it sound funny, but we use it like How insane!, or How irresponsible!, or like when somebody does not have any consideration for someone else. Sometimes when somebody does something really nice or extraordinary, people also say "qué bárbaro, que bonito te quedó!, etc. It is just an expression.

Thank you, that makes sense. :) - dangross9, ABR 3, 2010

Answer 5

Maybe that's "¡Qué barbaro! and it means something like "How terrible!" in English.
