What is "Chivo"?

In Salvadoran slang, "chivo" (or "chiva" for feminine nouns) is a very positive adjective that means "great," "cool," "awesome," or "fantastic." It's similar to saying something is "rad" or "sweet" in English.

For example:

• "Esa fiesta estuvo chiva" (That party was great)
• "Qué chivo tu carro nuevo" (Your new car is awesome)
• "La comida está chivísima" (The food is delicious)

It's a versatile word that can be used to describe almost anything you find enjoyable or impressive.

However, it's important to note that in other Spanish-speaking countries, like the Dominican Republic, "chivo" can have different meanings, such as being nervous or a tattletale.
