Note: by no means am I saying one country is better than another. I’m just pointing out something I noticed that I have only seen down here. I’m sure it happens a lot in the United States as well.

Es una de las palabras mas usadas, si no es la mas usada dentro del lenguaje tico. Viviendo aqui te encontraras con personas que lo usan casi como si fuera puntuación. Un ejemplo del uso excesivo del “mae” puede ser:
Mae, vieras ese mae como camina, mae. Camina como si al mae le hubieran volado una pata, mae.
Cuentalos!! Dos oraciones, 5 maes. Y pude haber agredado otro pero 5 son suficiente.

It’s one of the most commonly used words in Costa Rica, if not the single most commonly used. Living down here, you’ll find that there are people who practically use it as punctuation. An example of a really “mae-ified” sentence could be something like:
Mae, vieras ese mae como camina, mae. Camina como si al mae le hubieran volado una pata, mae.
Count ‘em. 2 sentences, 5 maes. I could have fit in another one if I wanted to, just to drive it home but 5 is enough.
But where does this word come from?
