Two V's to know & be cool in Spain: Vale y Venga
Need to learn how express myself in a cool way, like a local…so I wont look well...yes you guess it.... totally clueless. LOL
Aww!! Si!, here are the two must know words that need to become part of my Epañol dictionario.
Lets dissect = Vale y Venga
-Vale-
- Okay, or wait shall I say…. Vale!! Means okay
- But, I must not confused saying “vale” in a question, like= Are you okay? Or Is “that okay with you?
How is Vale used???
- For saying things like “sounds good”, “okay, see you later” “it’s alright” “that is a deal”
- Here is the scenario:
Do you want to meet for lunch tomorrow at noon? (Quieres ir a almorzar manana a las doze?)
Anwer that: “Vale”
Yay! I am all set
-Venga-
- Means “Alright!”
- Used as a combo with Vale! Mostly to end a conversation
Vale! Venga! Hasta luego (Okay! Alright! See you later)
So, Vale! Y Venga Espana!!
Yo estoy lista!!!-
The coolest stuff ever! Vale
