Costa Rican words that are good to know:

Pura Vida

As most of you probably already know, this is a saying in Costa Rica that translates to "Pure Life". People use it in many ways. It can mean hello and good bye, how are you?, life is good, no worries, etc. It describes a way of life. A slower pace, where people make a point to enjoy themselves. The amazing weather and nature probably has something to do with the laid back attitude of the Costa Ricans. Something we should all learn to appreciate.

Mae

This is used like "Dude". Pura Vida Mae!

Tuanis

There isn't a perfect translation for this, but its used like " dope" or "chill". It's a term often used by surfers. Honestly, a good translation would also be this emoji πŸ€™

Soda

A soda is a traditional Costa Rican restaurant serving typical food. Sort of like " Diner" in the USA is a place that serves typical American food. Make sure to order the standard rice and bean breakfast called Gallo Pinto, or a Casado for lunch, which is a protein, rice, beans and a salad, all on one plate. Other typical foods include Olla de Carne, a hearty soup with meat and vegetables and Arroz con Pollo (or Camarones or Mariscos), which is a rice dish with protein mixed in (chicken, shrimp, mixed seafood, typically)

Tico

This is a term to refer to Costa Ricans, used by Costa Ricans and foreigners. This term came from the way Costa Ricans talk, by adding tico to the end of certain words. For example, when describing a small amount you would say it is "Poquito", but many Costa Ricans will say "Poquitico". After many years of this, Costa Ricans, and latin Americans generally, started referring to Costa Ricans as Ticos.

Pura vida!
