Cool, awesome.
The Salvadoran word for cool. "¡Qué chivo!" is the standard reaction to good news.
Literally "goat."
In Mexico and Argentina "chivo" is just a goat. In Chile "chiva" can mean a lie.
Reading a definition isn't the same as saying it to someone. Lingo Kaiava is a voice tutor set to Salvadoran Spanish — it uses chivo the way locals do, corrects you in the moment, and never "fixes" the way real people actually talk into textbook Salvadoran Spanish.
