Indeed 'taba is representing a spoken word, that's why I added an apostrophe - AntMexico, May 19, 2010

Answer 1

My best guess would be:

•'taba relejos - I/he/she/it/you were/was far away

•'taba requetelejos - I/he/she/it/you were/was very far away

•'taba recerquita - I/he/she/it/you were/was very close by

•'taba recercas - I/he/she/it/you were/was close by

Answer 2

Supongo que 'taba sea el versión corto de "estaba"

Sí. - AntMexico, May 19, 2010

Answer 3

Es español, y con toda la influencia del internet, se suele usar apócopes inexistentes en la realidad del idioma. Por ejemplo:

"Estábamos muy lejos" ---- "tábamos relejos"

"Estoy muy cerca" ---- "toy recerca"

Cabe aclarar que no se usa solamente en méxico, sino en el resto de los países de latinoamérica.

This kind of writing is used in Mexico, Argentina, Chile, etc.

Answer 4

This one is too difficult....I have no idea!

If you hang out with Mexicans you should learn them urgently! ;) - AntMexico, May 19, 2010
