If you want to a good way to practice colloquial language, sell something on FB Marketplace.
But honestly, I have a question.
I have an electric hotplate listed for sale on Facebook Marketplace titled "Estufa Eléctrica - 2 Quemadores"
A person messaged saying "Oye qué tal jala luz"
I am so confused. My interpretation is 'jalar luz' is asking if the hotplate connects to electricity. However, the title is electric stove. In which case, if my interpretation is correct, the answer to this person's question seems pretty obvious.
Instead of assuming, I thought I'd come to Reddit and ask you lovely people for clarification.
Any Mexicans/people familiar with this expression here that can help me make sense of what's actually being asked??
And if you aren't, are there any other Spanish expressions that you've heard that really just didn't make sense to you at first? (Bonus points if now you've come to love it)
