The one of great is a term that we hardly hear it named, we think of Caribbean countries as Venezuela, Cuba, which is where it is most entrenched and rooted. However, it is not a word that originates from these payments, from some dialect far from old but one of the strongest versions is that it was borrowed from a variety of language Nigerian (ibibio) when Nigerian slaves arrived on the island of Cuba back in the 19th century and imposed it.
Meanwhile, its meaning is closely linked to the use of speech colloquial and to pleasant and funny questions, that is, it is used to justly refer that something or someone turns out to be fun and good. That skirt looks cool on you. Your cousin is certainly cool.
As well as for example in countries like Argentina the words are widely used: cute, to refer what has been commented, in Venezuela, mostly, and in Cuba the expression great.
It should be noted that it has been the music Originally from the island, the son and the bolero, among others, the main champions that this term had at the time of its phenomenal
diffusion for the rest of the Spanish-speaking countries, including Venezuela, which is undoubtedly one of the countries that adopted it after Cuba and that contributed fantastically in its dissemination, it is even associated much more with Venezuela than with Cuba itself, from where it began its path on America.It has been in the lyrics of the songs corresponding to these musical rhythms where it was most included and from them it began to penetrate deep into the popular use of the language to settle forever.
In the present the term chévere is so associated with Venezuela that when it is heard from someone's mouth it is immediately thought that it corresponds to a Venezuelan speaker.
