Spanish rhyming phrases

Here are some fun expressions in Spanish that feature rhyming reduplication (kind of like “even Steven” or “easy peasy” in English).

Qué nivel, Maribel.

“Qué nivel” could be translated as “how fancy,” “how posh,” or even "how awesome."

Ya te digo, Rodrigo.

“Ya te digo” could be translated as “I’m telling you.”

En fin, Serafín.

“En fin” means “all in all” or “in short”, although in Spanish it can be used by itself, meaning something like “anyway…”

You got it, cockle.

Alucina, vecina.

“Alucinar” was used in Spain a lot in the 80s meaning something like “having your mind blown”. It has to be used with “vecina”, in feminine, because it wouldn’t rhyme otherwise.
