What does "Ese" mean ?

Ese= dude, bro, homie.

Ese Is also the singular masculine form of the Spanish demonstrative pronounmeaning thisas well as a letter in the Spanish alphabet

As a term of address, this term was popularized in Spanish-speaking regions of the United States. The word on the street is that it came about as a shorthand way for speakers of Mexican Spanish to say ese vato or ese guy (that dude )


While not commonly used in Mexico, you're quite likely to hear it in California, for example. But ¡aguas ! (be careful ) In some parts of California ese is used by members of certain gangs to self-identify. Most of the time, though, it just means dude or bro.

Check out these examples of Ese.
  • ¿Qué onda, ese?

What's up, bro?

  • No manches, ese, ¿dónde conseguiste esa carcacha?

Jeez, dude, where'd you get that old wreck?


Try a few examples in both languages using ese.
