  • tal cual | used when you think exactly like the person.
  • bien ahí | use it when you want to congratulate someone on achieving something.
  • ahí va | to show that you understand.
  • de una | to say you agree.
  • a full | to express that you really like the idea.
  • dale | the most common alternative to ok.
  • bárbaro | an alternative dale.

Good luck in finding a spot for them in your conversations,

Until soon!
