Awesome Spanish 2!

Question

Here are the results of my earlier quest to find Spanish Exclamations.

1. ¡Estupendo!- "Great, Marvelous". by annierats
2. ¡Guay!- "Super, Smashing" by actorgirl
3. ¡Genial! - "Brilliant" by Kiwi-Girl
4. ¡Chévere! - "Cool" by deedeegill72
5. ¡Asombroso! - "Amazing" by dennwells

These are all great words that I'm going to distribute to my Spanish class. I apologize to the people who entered a word but did not get their name listed here. I received a number of words meaning "Cool!" and I went with one of the first ones I got. A few other words didn't quite mean the same thing when translated into Spanish as they did in English. But regardless, I want to thank everyone who answered for your assistance. I am still looking for as many (family-friendly) Spanish Expletives words as possible, so feel free to add on more. If I get enough, I would love to create an Awesome Spanish 3! Note: Please do not send me any words that mean the same as listed here.

Bueno chévere es solo en Sudamérica, en España esa palabra no existe jaja aquí Cool es Guay tambien - Neox, Dec 5, 2013

In case of anyone wondering, Neox is saying that "Chevere" is only used in South America. - 00ffada9, Dec 5, 2013

Answer 1

A few other words didn't quite mean the same thing when translated into Spanish as they did in English.

Such as?

Also, you're missing chido and padre which are Mexican Spanish for cool. There's also chilero which is cool in Guatemala.

And take a look at this:

I actually just remembered a few more, but they're on the list I posted the link to. - rodneyp, Dec 5, 2013

The reason I didn't post 'chido' and 'padre' is because I already had a word for it. Neox said that 'chevere' doesn't work, so I'll make a correction in Awesome Spanish 3. To answer the other question... - 00ffada9, Dec 5, 2013

... saying a word like "sweet" in Spanish probably doesn't mean the same thing as it does in English. I need a second opinion on this. Could someone fluent (or near fluent) in Spanish help here? - 00ffada9, Dec 5, 2013
