/Sounds like "yeh" (as in "yes") + "BAHR" (as in "bar") + "seh" (as in "set") + "BYEHN"/

Meaning

To get along well with someone, to coexist without conflict or tension. It is the foundation of any relationship that actually works, whether at work, with family, or in a friendship. When you llevarse bien with someone, things just flow naturally without drama.

Examples

Nos llevamos bien desde el primer día, hay muy buena química.

We hit it off from day one, the chemistry was just there.

¿Te llevas bien con tus compañeros de trabajo o hay drama?

Do you get along with your coworkers or is there drama?

Regional synonyms

To rent something: an apartment, a car, or a movie. From the English "to rent," fully absorbed into Mexican Spanish and Chicano speech. While most of Spain and South America use "alquilar," in Mexico and among US Latinos "rentar" is the natural everyday word. A textbook example of Spanglish that made it back into standard Mexican Spanish.
