Dale
/Sounds like "DAH" (as in "dart") + "leh" (as in "let")/
Meaning
A versatile word that works as "ok," "sure," "let's go," or an encouraging push depending on context. In Argentina, dale is practically the social glue of any conversation: it accepts plans, rushes people along, confirms things, and closes topics all in one word.
Examples
“Are we meeting at five? Sure, I'll be there.”
“Come on, if we don't leave now we're going to be really late.”
