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

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

Meaning

A casual Dominican greeting meaning 'What's up?' or 'How are you?', probably the first phrase you learn upon arriving in Santo Domingo. It's as Dominican as merengue and the flag.

Examples

Qué lo qué, my brother!

I got to the party and the first thing I heard was 'Qué lo qué!'.

A thing, matter, or trivial nonsense of no importance in Nicaragua. Also used to downplay something others are treating as serious.
