<div><br></div><div>Ahora en inglés, Ivan Isador and I were working on the translation yesterday and were wondering how you all would translate the English idiom "pretty cool," as in "she thought it was pretty cool" and "I was feeling pretty cool." We both thought of "very good." which is really pretty tame and doesn't convey the extra measure of "coolness" the author intended. Ivan mentioned "muy chévere" but thinks it may be a local term used in his country (the Dominican Republic). </div>
<div><br></div><div>So... the question for you is... in your country what is the "coolest" term for "cool"?</div><div><br></div><div>¡Abrazos!</div><div><br></div><div>Carolina</div><div><br></div><div>
