Thread: Colombian spanish and it's dialects

Didyou know that colombian spanish is a grouping of the varieties ofspanish spoken in Colombia? among them are the dialects:


Paisa,Rolo or Bogotá dialect, Cundiboyaquense, Caribbean, Valluno, Andean,Opita, Santanderean, Llanero, Chocó and Island dialect.

Inthem you can find several unique slang words such as:

• abrirse ("to split up"): to leave.
  
• barra (“gold bar"): one thousand Colombian pesos.
  
• caliente ("hot"): dangerous.
  
• chino: (from the Chibcha for child"): child..
  
• comerse a alguien ("to eat somebody"): to have ***.
  
• fresco ("fresh"): "Be cool!"
  
• gonorriento: worst of the worst person (considered low-class).
  
• llave ("key"): friend (considered low-class)
  
• marica ("faggot"): a term of endearment used among friends. Depending on the tone of voice, it can be understood as an insult. Maricón is a harsher, less-friendly variant.
  
• paquete ("package"): one million Colombian pesos, also used as an insult.
  
• plata ("silver"): money.
  

Algunas coincidencias con en slang Argentino son: abrirse, comerse a alguien, plata (éste último creo que se usa en toda Latinoamérica).

Casualmente en algunas partes de Colombia también utilizan el Vos y los acentos como en Argentina "Hacés, tomás, etc", lo de la plata me parece que es en toda la Latinoamérica hispanoparlante, estoy deacuerdo.
