Choro...

[lee ying]

howw do you say choro into english?
to lie? its this right?
choro is when you're saying too many words and you don't do anything about it.
choro: chorear, choreando
es cuando hablas mucha palabras y no cumples nada de lo que haces, ese es mi punto de vista.

[Tomisimo]

I thought it was chorro and chorrear? There are plenty of ways of translating this. To spew words, to tell tall tales, to go on and on, to babble on and on, etc.

[CrOtALiTo]

But the Chorrear is other thing.

Chorrear could to be used to say Diarrea.

Perhaps if you use the word into of the English as Lie, because you are using a meaning similar in Spanish, I mean, Choro at least in Mexico mean Lie to someone.


Instead of Chorrear could to be used in loss to water, other liquid, I don't know if am right but, I believe that it's the idea.

[Tomisimo]

Ok, thanks Crotalito. I guess I've never heard choro and chorear. Can you give an example of how they are used? (This means to write a sentence in Spanish, using the word)

[Rusty]

choro mareador
= saying lots of words, but not really communicating anything useful (wasting time with meaningless words)
= feeding someone a line (spinning a yarn or inventing a tale to get your way)

[CrOtALiTo]

Of course.

For instance.


Oye Eduardo viste lo que paso anoche?

Que paso Eduardo?

Carlos peleo dentro de un bar.!

Carlos hay no lo creo es puro choro lo tu dices.


I hope you can understand that example.

In Spain, 'choro' would be the first person of present indicative 'chorar'. It's slang and means 'to steal':

Me han "chorado" la cartera.

[CrOtALiTo]

Yes, but anyhow in Mexico it's not like to here.

... es puro choro lo que tú dice.
... you're just making it up. (literalmente: "lo estás inventando")

[poli]

From what I see here, choro in Mexico means b.s., or talkin'(talking)smack.

Do you say 'chorear' instead of 'chorar' with the same meaning of 'robar'?

I forgot it also can mean entretenido.

I guess we went the extra mile...

[CrOtALiTo]

Did you say to choro mean robar?

I don't find sense in it.

[Rusty]

Chorar is another way to say robar, as irmamar pointed out earlier.

[CrOtALiTo]

In my country it does not apply.

Conozco e verbo 'chorear' como sinónimo de molestar. Uno que está 'choreado' está molesto por algo: mucho palabreo, la fila en el correo, el autobus que no llega o que no parte y así para adelante.
InshAllah CrOtALiTo no se chorée por mi corrección.
Por otro lado conozco el'choro', persona valiente y corajuda; un 'matón', en el peor de los casos.
Y por último, conozco el marisco llamado 'choro'.

Olvidaba decir que si algo o alguien 'es choro' quiere decir que 'it's cool, pleasing'.

Todo esto solamente de fuente chilena. Si fuéramos a investigar cómo es la cosa en otros países LA o en España, pués ¡Adios Patria!
