cedros 984 Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Sometimes the slang used on Facebook really confuses me. What does "Chocastes" mean. I think they are referring to a vehicle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HarryB 1,004 Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 I think the term is chocolates. This applies to vehicles brought down from the north that might be stolen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

casasemanas 1 Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 The verb Chocar gets used frequently in my neighborhood. Any sort of crashing into something, people, cars, etc. Today, for example, yo choqué con un letrero y caí en mi espalda en el malecón. It's the truth. My Spanish isn't perfect, but I think that would get the meaning across that when I was walking on the malecón this morning here in San Juan, I was lost in thought and power-walked my face into a sign and fell backwards onto the cement. Ow! Only a little blood, but a real "wake-up" to watch where I'm going. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cedros 984 Posted October 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 This was the whole sentence "Mal mal chocastes o te chocaron". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Olegario 2 Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 ¡Ay mis ojos!, NO no, it's not chocastes (with and ending 's'), that's awful grammar, the correct term is chocaste, without that s. It happens that most people mispronounce the second person of singular of past tense verbs conjugations adding that dreaded 's', which sounds terrible, and denotes poor education. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
