Answer 1

I think in this instance it is "great or fantastic"

I agree. Other times it can mean "cool" as in "that's so cool!". Chido is another word used similarily - riverphoenix1970, Nov 5, 2011

I would also agree. I think it is used in Peru and some other countries in South America - FELIZ77, Nov 5, 2011

Answer 3

My Colombian friend once suggested this word to me for when I need to say that something is "cool" in Spanish. Then the other day I was listening to a podcast of a Colombian being interviewed, and she also said that chévere means "cool." She also said it is a very Colombian expression.

Answer 4

The translation I've always liked is "awesome"

Answer 5

Yes, Eddy is right, I think, it means, great, fabolous or even fantastic. Basically, in your expample, it means" we have a great time".

Answer 6

When I hear the word chévere, I think of the song by Stevie Wonder where he's trying to impress a girl with his garbage Spanish. He says 'todo está bien, chévere". I take it to mean 'cool'

Stevie Wonder: Don't you worry 'bout a thing
