Recommended Posts

Estoy aprendiendo vocabulario dominicano en clase y yo sé que un tígre es una persona que sabe los calles bien. ¿Hay otras palabras que tiene el igual definición de tígre?

I am learning in class Dominican vocabulary and I know that a tiger is a person who is street-smart. Are there other words that have the same definition as the slang word tiger?

tiguere (similar to  tigre) 

En República Dominicana, un "tíguere" (no "tigre") puede ser cualquier sujeto, esta palabra tiene un uso similar al de "Vaina" pero para personas. En un grado más intenso, se usa para definir a un individuo astuto, oportunista y/o tramposo, y en los últimos años ha derivado casi en un sinónimo de "delincuente" (lo que ha desacreditado el término).

Ejemplo: Sonó un tiro y salieron todos los tígueres corriendo. No le hagas caso a los tígueres que venden perritos en los semáforos. Lo atracaron dos tígueres en un motor.

[Not "tiger" - can be any subject, this word has a similar use to that of "Vaina" but for people. To a more intense degree, it is used to define a cunning, opportunistic, and cheating individual, and in recent years it has become almost a synonym for "delinquent" - which has discredited the term.]
