Real examples from Voces de MĂŠxico
Here are some examples of FĂŠlix the underground rapper using it like
honestly (both at the beginning and end of a sentence):
Talking about a gruelling job
(at approx. 03:21):
La neta, yo ya no querĂa yo chambear en esoâŚHonestly, I didnât want to continue working there anymoreâŚ
Talking about Tijuana
(at approx. 07:57):
O sea, se veĂa chido, la neta.I mean, it looked pretty cool, honestly.
And JesĂşs also uses it in a similar way in his border crossing story
(at approx. 03:47):
Yo tenĂa contacto con mi hermano y le decĂa, carnal, la neta no estĂĄ funcionando, mejor yo me regreso.I was in touch with my brother, and Iâd tell him, âBro, honestly, itâs not working out. Iâd be better off going back.âđĄ This oneâs ESSENTIAL if you want to sound urban Mexican. Itâs not a word your abuelaâs probably gonna use, but I hear all sorts of different people using it around CDMX.
