Bandera de El Salvador

/Sounds like "MOH-pree"/

The Salvadoran way of saying "primo" (cousin) or "compadre" reversed, a syllable flip in the vesre style ("primo" to "mopri"). Used as an affectionate greeting between close friends, especially among young men. "Qué tal mopri" is "what's up brother" with Guanaco flavor. The syllable inversion is part of the linguistic play of Salvadoran youth Spanish, similar to Argentine lunfardo.

Example

"Qué tal mopri. → What's up cuz."

"Mopri, pasame el control. → Bro, pass me the remote."
