I started using different variations of this word a lot more in high school and college: Q-vo, Q-vole.
Word:
Q-vo
Meaning According To DT: hey, what's up, hello, how are you, greetings
Used in a sentence:
"Q-vo Pepe, porque no traiste los papers for school."
"Ah Nacho, es que se los comio mi dog."
Note: notice the word "traiste" instead of "trajiste"
Translation according to DT:
"Hey Pepe, why didn't you bring the papers for school."
"Oh, Ignacio, because my dog ate them."
