![]() ![]() I guess I could call her "guapa" which means a good looking girl, because like I said I'm in love with my roommate, but I haven't told her yet. ![]() Like I wonder if I can say "hey ese! How are you? I just got back from my 9:00am class ese, and dang was it hard ese!" Or "wanna walk with me to class vata? I like your hair today too! It's totally cool vata!" I just wonder if I can say it regularly in a conversation with my roommate. I think I've heard "vata" before but I'm unsure. I love the way it sounds and I also like "vato" but I'm not sure if it has a female version but I think you can call a girl 'ese'. In some places I think it would be considered offensive.Īs far as your roommate, if you have a level of friendship you can ask her in a respectful thanks amigo! I don't think 'ese' has a female counterpart. It also varies from State to State, in the North of Mexico it is far more common to hear "cabron" used affectionately. There are some things that might offend someone. That being said, as a foreigner you should be extra careful. These things would offend many Americans. I know someone who is called "Negro" because of his dark skin, and someone else who is called "China" (she is not Asian at all) because of her appearance. There are women I know who are called "gorda (fat)" as an affectionate nickname. ![]() Americans worry about everything, since it might take offense. In general political correctness is much less of a thing in Mexico. and I feel comfortable using those words (even so, I don't use them very often. I have friends that call me "Guey" and "Cabron". With people that I just meet, I am generally formal. I spend a lot of time in Mexico and have Mexico friends. Have never heard anyone use the word "vata" (I have heard Mexican-Americans use the word "vato", but only to refer to a man).Īs far as your roommate, could you ask her? ![]()
