Cuban Spanish 101: Slang, Phrases, & Pronunciation

The Cuban Dialect of Spanish is extremely unique, so much so that where I am writing this article right now (in Panama) they have jokes about it being a different language.

Nonetheless, it isn’t. There are some differences in pronunciation and expressions. But that's about it.

However, if you dedicate just one month to studying and understanding Cuban Spanish, you’ll have little to no problems comprehending it.

Let’s jump into the most common and unique words, phrases, and pronunciation differences in the Cuban Dialect of Spanish!

Summary of Cuban Spanish

Some of the most important vocabulary to know before embarking on a trip to Cuba are:

Pinchar - To work

La jeva - Girlfriend

Jamar - To eat

Fresco/a - Somebody rude

Guarachar - To party

Among the others listed in this article, here are a few phrases to get you connecting with the Cuban people, and their idiomatic expressions:

Házme la media - Help me out/Accompany me

Meter la cuchareta - Get involved in something you shouldn’t

Amanecer con el moño virao - To wake up on the wrong side…

Tirar un cabo - To help someone out

If you want to learn many more, read this full article and practice the terms with the quizlet I made for you at the bottom of the page. Enjoy!

The Vocabulary Of The Cuban Dialect of Spanish

Chama/chamaco - Kid 🙋‍♂️

In the Cuban dialect, one of the most common words for a child is chama or chamaco . Ex:

Mira a ese chamaco jugando en el jardín

(Look at that kid playing in the garden)

La jeva - Girlfriend 👫

Whereas in standard Spanish the word for a girlfriend is novia , in Cuba they say jeva . Ex:

No él no está aquí, está en la playa con su jeva

(No he isn’t here, he’s at the beach with his girlfriend)

Papaya - Female Genitalia 🍑

No need for an example with this word, just know that if you want papaya - ask for la frutabomba . In Cuban Spanish, Papaya means something else…

Pinchar - To work 👷‍♀️

In Cuba you’ll be understood if you use the word trabajar, meaning to work. However, they have their own word for that - Pinchar .

Ey quieres salir esta noche? - No, tengo que pichar.

(Hey, do you want to go out tonight? - No, I have to work)

Jamar - To eat 🌭

The word jamar means to eat, and it isn’t just used in Cuba, you can also hear this word being used in Argentina, Costa Rica, and Peru - to name a few. Ex:

Ando con el tanque vacío, ya voy a jamar

(I am running on empty, I’m gonna go eat)

Yuma - Foreigner 🕴

The word yuma seems to be a word that is 100% unique to Cuba. Usually, this word refers to visitors from the USA, but can also be used just as the word foreigner that speaks English. Ex:

Yo ví 4 yumas por allí

(I saw 4 foreigners over there)

Fresco/a - Somebody who's rude 🤬

To be fresh in Cuba means to be rude. For example:

Escúchame bro no seas fresco.

(Listen to me dude don’t be rude)

Comemierda - Stupid/Arrogant 🤡

The word Comemierda, literally meaning sh**eater - is used to describe a dumb or arrogant person. For example:

No hablo con esa comemierda desde hace rato

(I haven’t spoken with that d**k*ead for a long time)

Chivo - Bicycle 🚴‍♀️

If you hear somebody say they are going to ride their goat to the store, know that what they mean is - they are going to take their bike to the store. Ex:

Me robaron el chivo ayer

(They stole my bike yesterday)

Gao - Home 🏠

A gao is just a home, like the word casa. For example:

Ay Malena mañana te espero en el gao, nos vemos allí

(Oh Malena tomorrow I’ll wait for you in the house, I’ll see you there)

Un mango - Hot/Attractive 🥭😍

If somebody calls you a mango , don't be confused. This is a way a Cuban might flirt with you and call you attractive .

Él es todo un mango…

(He is so hot)

La pincha = The work 👩‍🏭

Just like the word pinchar means to work, the noun pincha is a job. For example:

Ey jefe voy a llegar un poco tarde a la pincha, mi chivo no está funcionando

(Hey boss I’m going to arrive a bit late to work, my bike isn’t working)

Surnar - To sleep deeply 😴

A more imaginative way to say that you slept well last night might be saying that you were surnando . This just means that you slept very deeply! Ex:

Casi no podía levantarme esta mañana, yo estaba surnando

(I almost couldn’t wake up this morning, I was out like a light)

Guarachar - To party 🥳

This word is used in Mexico too! Guarachar - meaning to party, is a fun way of saying that you saliste anoche (went out last night). For example:

Sí anoche fue increíble, guarachamos hasta las 4’

(Yeah last night was incredible, we partied until 4 o’clock)

Almendrón - The old Cuban cars 🚕

You know those super cool-looking cars in Cuba that are from the ’50s, ’60s, and 70’s that are well maintained. They call those almendrones in Cuba!

Phrases That Are Unique To Cubans

The phrases that are commonly used in Cuba might seem pretty confusing at first. I know for me a lot of them were.

For example, what does it mean if somebody asks about "the ball"?

Or if they say you are a filter?

We'll go over those and many others in this section!

Házme la media - Help me out/Accompany me 👭

This phrase literally means - make me the middle , and is used to ask somebody to help you out or come with you to a place. For example:

Ey mamá ¿Podrías venir conmigo a la universidad hoy? ¡Por favor! Házme la media

(Hey Mom, could you come with me to the university today? Please, help me out!)

Ser un filtro - To be smart 🧏‍♂️

To be a filter in Cuba means you’re extremely smart . For example:

Ese chamaco va a ser muy exitoso algún día, sin duda es un filtro

(That kid is going to be very successful one day, without a doubt he is super smart)

Aseré ¿qué bolá? - What’s up man? 🙋‍♂️

This is an extremely unique phrase. Just like in the Dominican Republic, they say “qué lo que” - in Cuba they say “qué bola” , meaning - what ball? Ex:

Ey qué bola José?

(Hey what’s up José)

Meter la cuchareta - Get involved in something you shouldn’t 💁‍♀️

This means something like “to be nosey”. And you can also just call somebody a “Cuchareta” in Cuba (meaning small spoon) to say that they are nosey . For Ex:

Voy al piso - I am going to sleep 🥱

This phrase which literally means I am going to the floor - is a super common way of saying that I am gonna go to sleep . For example:

Ya es tarde, voy al piso, nos vemos mañana

(It’s late, I am gonna go sleep, I’ll see you tomorrow)

Amanecer con el moño virao - To wake up on the wrong side… 🙃

This phrase, which means literally To wake up with the ponytail/bun flipped means to wake up on the wrong side of the bed. For example:

Él ha estado muy fresco hoy, parece que amaneció con el moño virao

(He has been very disrespectful today, seems he woke up on the wrong side of the bed)

Tirar un cabo - To help someone out 🤝

The phrase tirar un cabo , which literally means to throw a cape in Cuba means to help somebody out. For example in the sentence:

Podrías tirarme un cabo? No entiendo esta tarea

(Could you help me out? I dont understand this homework)

Formarse tremendo belebele - A bad situation occurs 😦

Whenever something bad happens in Cuba, you can say that a tremendous belebele was formed, for example:

Después de eso se formó un tremendo belebele

(After that everything went to sh**)

Tener más rollo que película - To talk too much 🗣

To have more role than a movie means to talk too much , or be a fake person. For example:

Ese chamaco tiene más rollo que película

(That kid talks too much)

Estar apasmao - I am broke 🙅‍♂️

If a Cuban tells you that they’re stunned, that means that they are broke . For example:

Ayer perdí mi trabajo y ya estoy apasmao

Yesterday I lost my job and I am broke

Estoy muerto con ella - I am in love with her 😻

To be dead with somebody doesn’t necessarily sound the greatest. However it is, it means to be head over heels for someone. For example:

Esa muchacha es distinta a todas, estoy muerto con ella

(That girl is different than everyone else, I am in love with her)

Cuban Dialect: Pronunciation

Aspirated S? Or something different?

It is super common to hear the S in different dialects being pronounced as an English H. However, in Cuba, that aspirated S turns more into a throaty H sound. Almost as if the S is replaced by a Spanish J. For example, the word Casco might sound like Caj-co.

Sometimes Cubans can even cut the S out of a word completely. For example in the word Esta which becomes E’ta. Or the word Estaba which becomes E’taba.

The R? Pronounced as an L? Does it even exist?

The R can make 2 unique sounds in Cuban Spanish. Both of these Rs are fairly consistent with what one should expect from a Caribbean-Spanish dialect.

1 - it can be like in the Chilean Dialect of Spanish, where the R can completely disappear from a word whenever it comes before a consonant.

Such as in the word Hermano which can become Hemano.

2 - like all other Caribbean Countries, the R at the end of a word usually turns into an L.

For example, the word Amor would become Amol ’ or the word Escribir would become Escribil’.

Disappearing D

Just like in other Caribbean Dialects, the D usually disappears in Cuban Spanish. Like in the word Interesado which will become Interesa’o or Motivado which will become Motiva’o.

Frequently Asked Questions About The Cuban Spanish Dialect

What's the difference between Cuban Spanish and Mexican Spanish?

Cuban Spanish is notably different than Mexican Spanish due to their difference in slang, expressions, and pronunciation. Many Mexicans have a hard time understanding Cuban speakers. While both are still Spanish, Cuban is Caribbean-Spanish which varies greatly from most other dialects.

Is Cuban Spanish spoken fast?

Cuban Spanish is indeed one of the fasted spoken Spanish dialects. The speed at which Cuban Spanish is spoken can be compared with Chilean and Dominican Spanish. This makes it harder for people who are not accustomed to the pace. However, one can get used to these dialects by simply listening to enough content in the dialect.

Do Cubans speak Spanish differently?

Cubans speak Spanish very differently from - Argentina, for example. The Spanish spoken in Cuba is distinct due to its fast pace, goofy and fun slang. Cuban Spanish also comes equipped with hilarious and comprehensible expressions to use in the day to day. On the other hand, it still is Spanish, and one can understand a Cuban as long as they talk slowly and clearly.

What does Papi & Mami mean in Caribbean Spanish?

Papi and Mami are common "nicknames" that are thrown around in the Caribbean-Spanish speaking world. While it might sound sexual at first, know that it is indeed just a normal way of saying "buddy" or "darling." For example: A grandmother might call her granddaughter "Mami" and her grandson "Papi" - and this would be completely normal.

Conclusion: The Cuban Dialect Of Spanish

The Cuban Dialect of Spanish is hella unique, so much so - that where I am writing this article right now (in Panama) they have jokes about it being a different language.

The truth is that as Spanish learners, we can either choose to avoid “harder dialects” because they don't speak “real Spanish” or we can fall in love with the differences.

Since I started this series on this website “Dialect Breakdowns” it has made me fall in love with the differences of every dialect.

Not only has it been enjoyable, but I have been able to communicate and understand everybody better because I am used to the differences, and I expect them.

I challenge you to learn a little bit about the dialects of people that you interact with in Spanish. Check out the Spanish Dialect Breakdown series here!

Have a wonderful day/evening/night!

Spanish came to Cuba via immigrants from the Canary Islands in the 19th century, replacing the indigenous languages. Over time, Cuban Spanish became as unique as the island it’s spoken on. It features a distinct nasal accent and a rhythmic poetic intonation that’s almost song-like. It also contains a lot of slang —both from Spanish-based creole and from its communist history.

Much of Cuban speech can be seen as informal, a feature of most Caribbean Spanish varieties. Here are some of the relaxed pronunciations you might come across:

• If a syllable ends in r or l , the sound becomes the same as the first sound of the next syllable. This might sound confusing, but it’s a really easy one in practice. For example,  Carlitos becomes  Cal-li-tos. 
• If d  is at the beginning of a syllable within a word, it might not be said at all, e.g. dedo (finger) is pronounced dé-o.
• S at the end of a syllable is often aspirated, and occasionally it’s omitted altogether.
• Occasionally, r becomes l  at the end of a syllable or end of a word.
• Consonants at the beginnings of syllables are often spoken more softly than usual Spanish pronunciation dictates.

One of the main differences you’ll find between Cuban Spanish and general Latin American Spanish is the nasal accent and rhythmic intonation. This is the influence of African settlers on the language and makes it sound very different from most other Spanish varieties.

Cuba has sixteen provinces in modern day. Linguistically speaking, it’s less complicated to consider the historical six provinces of Cuba. These are:

• Pinar del Río  — Here you’re most likely to hear r  become l  at the end of a word or syllable, and occasionally the other way around. This can be hard to understand, so you might have to train your ear to it.
• La Habana  — Occasionally, speakers may be heard to speak as in Pinar del Río. The rest of the island outside of Havana is also referred to as campa  in Havana.
• Matanzas  and Las Villas   — These two provinces in the middle of Cuba have no special Cuban dialect.
• Camagüey   — This place has some of the different vocabulary of the Oriente province but mostly follows the language of the rest of the island. They use balance  instead of  sillón for rocking chair and pluma or llave instead of faucet, which is   used on the rest of the island for a tap.
• Oriente   — The language here is far more similar to Dominican Republic Spanish than the rest of the island. They also have a set of vocabulary words that’s different from the rest of the Cuban island. For example,  balde  instead of cubo  for bucket and guineo  instead of plátano  for banana/plantain. Here the s sound is also most likely to go unaspirated. The unusual intonation of this province may also be the last remnants of the indigenous language.

There are some elements of Cuban Spanish grammar that are different to European and Latin American Spanish . These are some features you might want to be aware of:

• Tú comes before the verb, not after it, in a question.

Example: ¿Qué tú haces aquí? (What are you doing here?)

• Le and les  become la  and las  when after se  in a sentence.

Example: A Juana se la ve en la tienda todos los días. (Juana is seen in the store every day.)

• Decir a is used to show the start of an action.

Example:   Si el niño dice a crecer, tendremos que comprarle ropa nueva. (If the boy starts to grow, we’ll have to buy him new clothes.)

• Para  instead of en for saying that someone is somewhere.

Example: Carmen está para la Habana. (Carmen is in Havana.)

• The phrase  ¡Cómo no!  (Of course) is ¡Cómo que no! in Cuban Spanish.
• Uno  (one, number or pronoun) is used instead of the indefinite article una.

Example: Está uno cansada de tanto hablar.  (One is tired of talking so much.)

• Más  (more) comes before nada / nadie (nothing) to produce the phrase “nothing else.”
• -ico  and -ica  are used at the end of words instead of -ito  and -ita  to indicate a smaller or lesser version. This only applies to words ending in to/ta.

Example: Plato (plate) becomes platico  (saucer.)

Cuban slang, much like slang in many other languages, is a vibrant mix of constantly changing words and meanings.

Cuban slang derives some of its influences from African languages and also features quite a lot of anglicisms.

What I’ll give you has a splash of everything, and they’re all slang words that you might find useful in a Cuban club.

Of course, you can’t just rely on slang terms and grammar to get you by in a conversation. In order to use these terms and phrases effectively, you’ll have to know basic Spanish grammar.

How do you learn it? It depends on your learning style. 

If your non-partying alter ego is willing to sit down with a textbook , then you should make one your new best friend. 

If you’re too busy to sit down at all (probably dancing instead, I bet!), try a vocab/grammar driller like Duolingo , with its “throw it at you until you get it” approach. 

You can also enjoy native music and entertainment while learning Spanish with a virtual immersion program like FluentU .

FluentU takes authentic videos—like music videos, movie trailers, news and inspiring talks—and turns them into personalized language learning lessons.

Whatever you do, stick with it, because these slang words are waiting for you to be ready to use them!

This is something you might ask for in your mojito. Yep, it’s a drinking straw! Pretty easy one to remember—just imagine yourself absorbing your drink through a straw.

Maybe feeling a little aguajirado (timid) is keeping you off the dance floor? Well, stop being shy and get out there! In typical Cuban style, the j  is likely to be pronounced more softly than you’d expect.

Couple of chicos (friendly term for peers) rocking the dance floor? Show your admiration by shouting  ¡Alabao!

Always a good idea to take your ambia (friend) along to a club, for safety as well as fun. Unlike amigo / amiga , ambia stays the same regardless of your friend’s gender!

The bachata  (party) is where it’s at! This word can also be used for noise in a more derogatory way, so watch out for that.

If you identify yourself as a baracutey (a person who lives alone) you might not want the party to end if you’re going home alone. The r  here might become an l in pronunciation.

Make sure you take plenty of baro (money) with you for drinks.

Another word for party, burumba  can also mean to have fun. If last night was a burumba,  it was a very good night. The r in this can also be pronounced as an l .

If you’re looking totally de caché (stylish/elegant) then you’ve done a good job. It may sound a bit old-fashioned to younger people, though.

If your dancing isn’t quite what you’d like it to be, your ambia might cheer you up by saying, ¡Dale candela al jarro! (persevere until you reach your goal!).

Music hurting your chola (head)? Time to get a breath of fresh air!

If you’re wearing a little dress or a light shirt without a jacket on a windy night, prepare to coger un aire (get a spasm)!

Drink your frozen daiquiri too fast and you’ll definitely get  la punzada del guajiro (get a brain freeze). Don’t fret, just put your tongue on the roof of your mouth and it will go away.

Be careful on the dance floor. You could trip and darte un tanganazo (bump yourself)!

An obvious anglicism, drinqui  (alcoholic drink) has quite a fun and unusual spelling.

If someone asks, you might like to echar un tacón (to dance).

If you’re ready to go out dancing and you’re wearing your best clothes, you might say that you’re  emperifollado (polished up).

If all that dancing has made you fachao (hungry), it’s time to try some Cuban cuisine.

After dancing all night and starting to ache, you might like to jugar a los bomberos (to take a bath.) This one is very fun to say. Don’t forget the Cuban pronunciation of l  for the letter  r , and be sure to leave out the s  in  bomberos .

If you find that a Cuban party is a  vacilón (something you enjoy a lot), then you’ll love the rest of Cuban life.

Who cares if you’re a zurdo (bad dancer)? Get out there and have fun!

For an even more extensive list of Cuban slang words and phrases, check out this post .

Now that you have a vocabulary full of dancing slang and an introduction to general Cuban Spanish, it’s time to get practicing!

Get out there, dance, enjoy.

And soak up every bit of Cuban language, culture and party life that you possibly can!

climate • The average yearly rainfall in Cuba is 47.9 inches • The average yearly temperature for Cuba is about 70s – 80s • Cuba is effected a lot from the climate because in this area you get a lot of hurricanes so when this does happen the crops are sometimes destroyed so they have so restart especially when agriculture is so important in this country

Interesting facts • Cuba’s population is 11.27 million • The Cuban flag has a lot of meaning like the red stands for the blood uring independence wars, the three blue stripes represent the divided country during the independence wars, and the white stands for the purity of the cause • Cuba is mostly hot and warm so cool clothing would be the best to pack if you want to go and since they dress western you will not feel awkward.

The war of the United States with Spain was very brief. Its results were many, startling, and of world-wide meaning. --Henry Cabot Lodge

On April 25, 1898 the United States declared war on Spain following the sinking of the Battleship Maine in Havana harbor on February 15, 1898. The war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris on December 10, 1898. As a result, Spain lost its control over the remains of its overseas empire -- Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Philippines Islands, Guam, and other islands.

Beginning in 1492, Spain was the first European nation to sail westward across the Atlantic Ocean, explore, and colonize the Amerindian nations of the Western Hemisphere. At its greatest extent, the empire that resulted from this exploration extended from Virginia on the eastern coast of the United States south to Tierra del Fuego at the tip of South America excluding Brazil and westward to California and Alaska. Across the Pacific, it included the Philippines and other island groups. By 1825 much of this empire had fallen into other hands and in that year, Spain acknowledged the independence of its possessions in the present-day United States (then under Mexican control) and south to the tip of South America. The only remnants that remained in the empire in the Western Hemisphere were Cuba and Puerto Rico and across the Pacific in Philippines Islands, and the Carolina, Marshall, and Mariana Islands (including Guam) in Micronesia.

Following its declaration of war against Spain issued on April 25, 1898, the United States added the Teller Amendment asserting that it would not attempt to exercise hegemony over Cuba. Two days later Commodore George Dewey sailed from Hong Kong with Emilio Aguinaldo on board. Fighting began in the Phillipines Islands at the Battle of Manila Bay on May 1 where Commodore George Dewey reportedly exclaimed, "You may fire when ready, Gridley," and the Spanish fleet under Rear Admiral Patricio Montojo was destroyed. However, Dewey did not have enough manpower to capture Manila so Aguinaldo's guerrillas maintained their operations until 15,000 U.S. troops arrived at the end of July. On the way, the cruiser Charleston stopped at Guam and accepted its surrender from its Spanish governor who was unaware his nation was at war. Although a peace protocol was signed by the two belligerents on August 12, Commodore Dewey and Maj. Gen. Wesley Merritt, leader of the army troops, assaulted Manila the very next day, unaware that peace had been declared.

In late April, Andrew Summers Rowan made contact with Cuban General Calixto García who supplied him with maps, intelligence, and a core of rebel officers to coordinate U.S. efforts on the island. The U.S. North Atlantic Squadron left Key West for Cuba on April 22 following the frightening news that the Spanish home fleet commanded by Admiral Pascual Cervera had left Cadiz and entered Santiago, having slipped by U.S. ships commanded by William T. Sampson and Winfield Scott Schley. They arrived in Cuba in late May.

War actually began for the U.S. in Cuba in June when the Marines captured Guantánamo Bay and 17,000 troops landed at Siboney and Daiquirí, east of Santiago de Cuba, the second largest city on the island. At that time Spanish troops stationed on the island included 150,000 regulars and 40,000 irregulars and volunteers while rebels inside Cuba numbered as many as 50,000. Total U.S. army strength at the time totalled 26,000, requiring the passage of the Mobilization Act of April 22 that allowed for an army of at first 125,000 volunteers (later increased to 200,000) and a regular army of 65,000. On June 22, U.S. troops landed at Daiquiri where they were joined by Calixto García and about 5,000 revolutionaries.

U.S. troops attacked the San Juan heights on July 1, 1898. Dismounted troopers, including the African-American Ninth and Tenth cavalries and the Rough Riders commanded by Lt. Col. Theodore Roosevelt went up against Kettle Hill while the forces led by Brigadier General Jacob Kent charged up San Juan Hill and pushed Spanish troops further inland while inflicting 1,700 casualties. While U.S. commanders were deciding on a further course of action, Admiral Cervera left port only to be defeated by Schley. On July 16, the Spaniards agreed to the unconditional surrender of the 23,500 troops around the city. A few days later, Major General Nelson Miles sailed from Guantánamo to Puerto Rico. His forces landed near Ponce and marched to San Juan with virtually no opposition.

Representatives of Spain and the United States signed a peace treaty in Paris on December 10, 1898, which established the independence of Cuba, ceded Puerto Rico and Guam to the United States, and allowed the victorious power to purchase the Philippines Islands from Spain for $20 million. The war had cost the United States $250 million and 3,000 lives, of whom 90% had perished from infectious diseases.
