One word that is used mostly on the streets of Costa Rica is al chile. This slang word is Spanish language expression that means “for real or something that is true.” In Costa Rica, this term is commonly used in social places to ask or confirm.
This is how the word would be used in a conversation between two boys.
Boy 1: Hey friend, let’s try this new game called Crumps
Boy 2: Al chile?
Boy 1: Al chile
In this conversation, the slang has first been used to mean “really,” where it is applied in a way that is questioning. In the last sentence, it is then used in an affirming way.
This slang word can also be used by locals in Costa Rica to mean the expression for “heck yeah,” just as illustrated here.
