What locals actually say

That's great!

¡Qué chévere!
“Chévere” is the Caribbean signature, at home in Venezuela and Colombia. In Mexico or Spain it sounds imported.

He's my buddy.

Es mi pana.
“Pana” is the Venezuelan word for a close friend, everyday and warm.

That looks sharp.

Está fino.
“Fino” as praise is distinctly Venezuelan. Literal translations of nice or great miss the register entirely.

Do you have any cash?

¿Tienes unos reales?
Reales is a colloquial Venezuelan word for money or cash, signaling an informal local register.

Take the next left.

Agarras la próxima a la izquierda.
Agarrar is commonly used in Venezuela for taking a route or turn, giving the direction a casual local sound.

Let's get some arepas for dinner.

Vamos a buscar unas arepas para cenar.
Arepas are a staple of Venezuelan food, while buscar can mean going to get something in casual Venezuelan speech.

I'll send you the file in a bit.

En un ratico te paso el archivo.
Ratico is a Venezuelan-style diminutive meaning shortly or in a little while, signaling a relaxed informal tone.

It's pouring outside.

Afuera está cayendo un palo de agua.
Palo de agua is a Venezuelan expression for very heavy rain, signaling strong local colour.
