Antártica (del adjetivo latino antarcticus, y este a su vez del griego ανταρκτικως, antarktikōs, 'opuesto al Ártico'):[59] aunque no es una palabra coloquial, es mayoritario el uso del término etimológico Antártica por sobre Antártida para designar ese continente. ¿cachái? —expresión, más frecuentemente usada por la juventud, de la forma de la segunda persona singular del presente indicativo en forma voseante (tipo 2) del verbo «cachar» (probablemente del verbo inglés to catch[60] o de una evolución del vocablo en desuso «catar», según los estudiosos de la evolución histórica del español en Chile)—: «¿comprendes?», «¿entiendes?», «¿sabes?», «¿te das cuenta?» o «¿ves?». de repente (locución adverbial propia del español, «súbitamente»): en Chile adopta también el significado de «a veces» y de forma coloquial, como en República Dominicana, Uruguay y Venezuela, de «posiblemente» denante (del latín de in ante) o denantes (de denante con la s de detrás)(también endenante[s], enenantes, considerado vulgar): «antes», «hace un momento». fome: «aburrido» o «sin gracia». huevón término que, originalmente, era peyorativo y una palabrota usada para calificar a alguien de «flojo y torpe», pero que se ha convertido en una palabra multívoca; Del sustantivo «hueva», también derivan: ahuevonado [usado para significar ‘estúpido, idiota, poco atento o inoportuno’ pues «huevón» ha perdido parte de su carácter despectivo], huevada, huevear, hueveo, huevicheo, huevinca, huevonaje, huevoncete, huevoncito, huevonear y hueveta. po o pos coloquialismo usado al final de una frase como enfatizador —en el caso de este término, además de Chile, solo en el dialecto andaluz es donde se pronuncia de una manera muy similar («po'») o también de una manera más o menos abierta («pué'»), pero no se utiliza como coletilla final de la frase, sino como sustituto de 'pues'—. ## Learning Language **Spanish** ## Topics #326958 #400 #1428779 ## Metadata -
