/Sounds like 'SWAH-veh'/
Hold on, slow down, take it easy. In Mexico, suave is the chillest way to tell someone to relax or pump the brakes — whether you're stopping an argument or just asking someone not to rush.
"Easy, easy, don't get worked up."
"Chill, it's not that serious."
/SWA-ve/
Everything's fine, okay, agreed, or just chill. In Mexico, 'suave' is the most relaxed possible response to almost anything — it means no problem, yes, that works, we're good. Low energy, high agreeability. The verbal equivalent of a calm shrug.
"We'll meet at five? Suave."
"Suave, I'll handle that — don't worry about it."
