Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "DAH" (as in "dart") + "leh" (as in "let") + "PWEHS"/

Meaning

An expression of agreement or confirmation used across Central America, especially Guatemala. It is the local equivalent of Mexico's "órale": you say "dale pues" to confirm plans, close a casual deal, or simply agree to something with warmth.

Examples

¿Nos vemos a las siete? Dale pues, ahí estaré.

Meet at seven? Sure thing, I'll be there.

Dale pues, te ayudo con eso sin problema.

Sure, I'll help you with that, no problem at all.

Low-class, tasteless, or lacking refinement, but without pretense. Something rampla doesn't aspire to elegance and doesn't pretend to. It's the raw, unpolished version of a thing, person, or situation.
