Basic shapes: Discussing the shape of elements in a chart

💬 The color goes after the shape and takes its plural ending: cuadrado azul becomes cuadrados azules. Same with círculos rojos "red circles".

💬 del is de + el squeezed together, and Spanish always does this. Same with del año "of the year".

💬 meta means a goal or target, not anything "meta". You'll hear it constantly at work, e.g. la meta de ventas "the sales target".

💬 Mexicans often say ya entendí "I understood" in the past tense to mean "I get it now". It sounds more natural here than entiendo.

🇲🇽 Many Mexicans answer thanks with para servirle "at your service" or no hay de qué "don't mention it" instead. De nada is always fine, though.

💬 ando, from andar "to walk", is used casually in Mexico to mean "I'm" somewhere or doing something. Same pattern: ando ocupado "I'm busy".

🇲🇽 A warm, casual offer between coworkers. It signals you're approachable without making it a big deal.

🇲🇽 Va is a very Mexican, casual "okay" for agreeing to plans. It's fine with coworkers, but too relaxed for a formal meeting.

🇲🇽 al rato is flexible in Mexico. It can mean in ten minutes or later today, so don't take it as a precise time.

💬 Sale literally means "it goes out", but in Mexico it's slang for "okay" or "deal". You'll also hear sale y vale.

🇲🇽 A friendly, informal sign-off among friends and coworkers. With a client or someone senior, a plain hasta luego "see you later" is safer.
