Answer 1

It would depend on who you are talking to even in Mexico. Street slang for "homie" would be "ese" or "vato". You could say "güey" which is more common for "man/dude" and heard all over the place in MX between guys.

"That's cool." most common street slang would be "Está chido." though you might hear "Está machín" or "Está perrón" in some circles. "Está padre" is common in completely different circles, probably not the same one's that would say "ese/vato".

So, "That's tight, homie" - "Está machín, ese"

"That's cool, man." - "Está chido, güey"

Answer 2

"That's cool, man" .

En España, "está guay,tio" o "está guay,colega"

Answer 3

I heard chévere quite a bit in Ecuador.

I'm old, so in my mind it means, "Cool", or "Great", rather than "Tight". Another generation might say, "Groovie, tubular, smooth, rippin', or the bee's knees". Slang's purpose is to confuse the older generation. - KevinB, Dec 4, 2010

I think my kids would forbid me from saying 'that's tight, homie'! (Even were I not confused. :/) - galsally, Dec 5, 2010

Welcome to the forum. In Venezuela we used to say, ¡Chévere, pana! It's slang, and it's different everywhere.

Answer 5

If you are looking for a similar expression in Spanish, it probably depends to some degree on the context and in what country you are as many countries have their own slangs for these types of expressions.

Answer 6

"Qué chévere compa" (that's cool homie) or "Qué chévere wey" (that's cool dude) or simply "Qué chévere" (that's cool)

Note: The use of the word Chévere is predominantly used in Puerto Rico and alot of South American countries. Mexico uses a different word however, Chido.

Answer 7

"Nitido!" Cool, Awesome, right on!

Answer 9

I used to work with a group of youngsters that went about saying those very same words. I agree with Izanoni1, I think is regional. If I was to translate this colloquialism I would have to know my audience first.
