Spanish term or phrase: viajesuki
Hi,

I need to know how this term can be translated into English. I don't know whether it refers to the idea of travelling abroad or just a trip. It's a some kind of a journey. It's a Mexican expression used by youngsters. May be I should keep it untranslated.

" quiero irme de viajesuqui con mis amigos".

Thank you

triperoo / tripperoo
Explanation:
Logically it should have a double p, according to English spelling rules, but this is spoken language, so it varies.

As Andy says, in Spain, at least, -uqui is a meaningless suffix that can be added to words to sound cool or fun. There's "una cervezuqui" for una cerveza, "una fiestuqui" for una fiesta, and so on. To my ear it sounds a bit "pijo", a bit "cursi", in US terms perhaps a bit "preppy". Anyway, I think you could do something more or less similar by using one of the meaningless decorative suffixes used in English that just serve to make it sound colloquial, such as -eroo or -eroonie (-eroony).

Travel...


Explanation:
or whathever...
This is not a "It's a Mexican expression used by youngsters."
And certainly not "May be I should keep it untranslated."

Viajesuki or viajesuqui?
Rubbish language, though.

NB: "wee" may be perceived as twee (cursi)... Which I don't think detracts from its usage potential in this case. Uki.

Your translation would hence read, "I want take an outing with my friends" or even "I want to go on an outing with my friends"
