En Elemento Natural<\/strong> Sabemos lo importante que es planificar con anticipaci\u00f3n. Para poder recorrer el pa\u00eds, comience por aprender qu\u00e9 \u201c#LosTicosDice\u201d<\/strong>Si le dices estas palabras a cualquier \u201ctico\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Te entender\u00e1n y empatizar\u00e1n contigo por completo. Estas nueve palabras son parte esencial de la cultura costarricense y clave para entender a la gente local y sus dichos.<\/p>\n

Empecemos:<\/p>\n

\"aprender<\/p>\n


\nChepe:<\/strong> La capital de Costa Rica, San Jos\u00e9, se conoce coloquialmente como \u201cChepe\u201d<\/em><\/strong>La palabra tambi\u00e9n se utiliza como apodo para las personas llamadas Jos\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Ejemplos de uso: Hoy tengo que ir a Chepe. Mi amigo aqu\u00ed es Chepe (Jos\u00e9).<\/em><\/p>\n

\"aprender<\/p>\n

Chiva:<\/strong> Se utiliza como expresi\u00f3n local para comunicar que algo es agradable o \u201crealmente genial\u201d<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Ejemplos de uso: \u00a1Eso s\u00ed que es \u201cchiva\u201d! Fuimos de excursi\u00f3n a la monta\u00f1a y fue chiv\u00edsima (superlativo de la palabra chiva).<\/em><\/p>\n

\"aprender<\/p>\n

Chunche:<\/strong> Esta palabra se utiliza para referirse a cualquier cosa, cualquier objeto f\u00edsico o cosa puede ser denominada como \u201cchunche\u201d<\/em><\/strong>Esta expresi\u00f3n se utiliza a menudo cuando se olvida el nombre de un objeto. Carlos Gallini, autor del libro \u201cDiccionario de Costarrique\u00f1ismos\u201d<\/em><\/strong> afirma que la palabra \u201cchunche\u201d<\/em><\/strong> es una derivaci\u00f3n de la palabra quechua 'chunchulli'.<\/p>\n

Ejemplos de uso: Dame ese chunche que est\u00e1 encima de la mesa. He comprado muchos chunches.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"aprender<\/p>\n

All\u00e1:<\/strong> Esta es una palabra t\u00edpica (o frase favorita) que usan los costarricenses en las conversaciones. Se puede usar como saludo o como queja y reemplazar la palabra "porque"<\/em>.
\nEjemplos de uso: -Diay, \u00bfc\u00f3mo est\u00e1s? \u2013 Diay, estoy bien. \u2013 Diay, estaba de viaje, por eso estoy feliz.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"aprender<\/p>\n

Es:<\/strong> Una de las jergas m\u00e1s populares. Se utiliza como sustantivo para referirse a una persona, por ejemplo: "eso puede"<\/em><\/strong> significa que ni\u00f1o o ni\u00f1a. Es similar a la palabra "dudar"<\/em> <\/strong>en ingl\u00e9s. Sin embargo, tambi\u00e9n es una frase de moda que se utiliza en cualquier oraci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Ejemplos de uso: \u00a1Mae, qu\u00e9 interesante! Est\u00e1 lloviendo, mae.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"aprender<\/p>\n

Tuanis:<\/strong> Es, tal como lo define la Real Academia Espa\u00f1ola<\/strong> (RAE www.rae.es<\/a>), cosa de excelente calidad. Tambi\u00e9n se utiliza para expresar que una cosa o situaci\u00f3n es \u201cmuy bien\u201d<\/em>Algunas personas creen que la palabra 'tuanis' proviene de una derivaci\u00f3n de la expresi\u00f3n en ingl\u00e9s \u201cdemasiado agradable\u201d<\/em><\/strong> (o muy bueno), pero en realidad proviene de Malesp\u00edn, un c\u00f3digo de guerra del siglo XIX del general salvadore\u00f1o Francisco Malesp\u00edn, que cambi\u00f3 las letras de la palabra \u201cBueno\u201d<\/em><\/strong> (bueno en espa\u00f1ol).<\/p>\n

Ejemplos de uso: \u00a1Esto es tuanis! \u00bfTodo es tuanis? (bien)<\/em><\/p>\n

\"aprender<\/p>\n

\u00a1Eso es todo!<\/strong>\u00a0Esta palabra se utiliza cuando se toca a la puerta de alguien o se entra a una casa. Seg\u00fan el historiador Costantino Lacariz, en su libro \u201cEl Costarricense\u201d<\/em> <\/strong>El preg\u00f3n proviene de la \u00e9poca colonial espa\u00f1ola y tiene un trasfondo religioso. Este saludo, anunciado en la puerta de las casas, era t\u00edpico en Nicoya, quienes lo anexaron a las celebraciones en honor a la Virgen de Guadalupe, su Patrona. Los devotos tocaban a la puerta y ped\u00edan limosna. \u00a1Eso es todo!<\/strong> es la versi\u00f3n m\u00e1s corta de la expresi\u00f3n larga: \u00a1Una ayudita para nuestra Patrona la Se\u00f1orita de Guadaluuuuupeeeee!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ejemplos de uso: Upe! Hola.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"aprender<\/p>\n

Yodo:<\/strong> Significa una taza de caf\u00e9 preparado.<\/p>\n

Ejemplos de uso<\/em>Prepara un poco de yodo esta ma\u00f1ana. \u00bfQuieres un poco de yodo?<\/p>\n

Estas palabras, llamadas \u201cCostarrique\u00f1ismos\u201d<\/strong> Son un grupo de frases del argot que han sido adaptadas o inventadas por nuestros antepasados \u200b\u200by que nuestras generaciones han heredado. Muchas de ellas permanecen en nuestro lenguaje coloquial y son generalmente aceptadas y entendidas por todos. \u201cticos\u201d<\/em><\/strong> iguales. Cuando alguien los escucha, sabe que est\u00e1 hablando con un \u201ctico\u201d.<\/strong><\/em> Os invitamos a utilizarlas. Son historia, parte de nuestro lenguaje vivo.<\/p>\n
