🧠 What it means
This one’s another SUPER CHUNK 🎉
Here’s what it means:
👉 as far as I know / I could’ve sworn
But there’s a twist…
It often carries a playful, self-deprecating tone… like you’re admitting you’re not 100% sure.
💡 Según + pronoun (yo, tú, él) sounds more uncertain, while según + noun is generally more authoritative.
🌪️ When to whip it out
Whenever you want to give your version of reality, but at the same time leave the door open to being wrong:
Según yo, hoy no habrá clases.
As far as I know, there aren’t any classes today.
Según yo, la película empezaba a las ocho.
I thought the movie started at eight.
Según yo, no era tan caro.
I didn’t think it was that expensive.
⚠️ Tone
✅ Mexicans LOVE this one.
✅ Great for everyday convos, not for formal writing.
