/Sounds like "keh" (as in "kept") + "LOH" (as in "loan") + "keh" (as in "kept")/

Meaning

Short for "¿Qué lo que?", the quintessential Dominican greeting. Think "What's up?" or "What's good?" with full Caribbean flavor. Works in person, over text, any time of day, and instantly signals Dominican (or Dominican-adjacent) energy.

Examples

¡Keloke, mi pana! ¿Cómo tú tás?

What's good, bro! How you doing?

Keloke loco, hace tiempo que no te veo por el barrio.

Yo, what's up, man, haven't seen you around the neighborhood in forever.
