No problemo?

[lfriedmac]

Hi- My kids watch "Handy Manny", and I keep hearing a song that says "no problemo"...Is this becoming an accepted phrase? I am a Spanish teacher who grew up in Peru, and I am trying to keep up with newly accepted terminology! Thanks!

Welcome to the forums!!

This is an accepted English phrase, not Spanish. The phrase in Spanish remains no problema.

Rusty's right. I've heard no problemo several times and I already know it's not Spanish, because no problema is Spanish.

hope you get it.

and welcome

The word No problemo is bad in itself structure, the American's people speaks of that way, but the phrase is bad said, the sentence correct and as you should said the sentence of this way (No hay problema). This sentence is acceptable, please you follow my hint, and I was forgetting something, I bid you welcome.

Greetings.

You remind the word No problema is bad said, the way accurate to say the phrase is No hay problema.

"no problem" is best translated as "ningún problema"/"no hay problema", rather than "no problema".
But "no problemo" is sure not spanish.

As already said, and just to make sure it's clear, "no problemo" is an accepted English word/phrase (etymologically derived from Spanish of course)

I don't agree with you David, I'm sorry but, the word is bad said although a website said the contrary.

[Rusty]

No, David and I both said that no problemo is accepted ENGLISH. We know it isn't Spanish.

As Rusty said, "no problemo" is correct in English, as an English word derived from Spanish. It is obviously not correct in Spanish.

The opposite is also true for certain words in Spanish that are derived from English, for example smoking (esmóquin) in English is tuxedo.

Ok.
