What are some words for Spanish that are equivalent of Awesome!, Sweet!, Cool!, YESSS!!!

I need as many words as possible, so keep them coming. I'm trying to make a list for use later in the future. Please include full translation, and correct spelling and punctuation. When I get enough answers, I will post a full chart. Gracias

If you are unsure of either spelling, translation or punctuation, then describe what you know and I'll try to edit it later. - 00ffada9, Dec 5, 2013

Mexico = chido

Nicaragua & Costa Rica = tuani(s)

Ecuador = chévere / super chévere

Spain = genial

(of course those words will be used in other countries too but just from personal experience I've heard speakers from the countries listed above using those particular words)

Copado

Groso

Both mean cool but I think they are only used in Argentina.

Thanks for the words, but I'm currently only looking for words used in traditional Spanish. Thanks though! - 00ffada9, Dec 5, 2013

This really varies from country to country, and even different regions within a country will have their own slang for awesome. Here are some ways to say AWESOME in Peru.

¡Mostro! This is an older school word for “awesome”, “rad”.

¡Bacán! This is the newer school version of “awesome”. Maybe it would be the equivalent of “sick”!

¡Asu! Another term for “awesome” which comes from the phrase “a su madre” which also means “wow, awesome”. Asu is a shortened version of that phrase.

Dulce = sweet

Calma = cool

Tranquilo = cool

Coolo = cool (Colombia)

Of course, Kiwi-Girl wins. She has traveled the whole wide world.

Since you know so many words for cool, I'm guessing you must be very cool. - 00ffada9, Dec 5, 2013
