The phrase is "O sea". It's a pet phrase and it means "I mean...".
thanks man, and what's a pet phrase??
Pet phrase is a phrase somebody repeats almost always in all the sentences. I think it isn't the exact translation but is the closest idea to "muletilla" in Spanish, like "Ehhh..." or "Esteeee...", or in the last years "...güe!"
For example:
Oye güe, ¿ya viste la película güe? ¡Está muy buena güe!
"Güe" is completely innecesary, it doesn't have a meaning in the phrase, and I can say the same about "osea".
I hope it helps.
I often translate the word "osea" as "In other words"
Hope it helps :)
I usually use "o sea" as a synonim of "es decir". I´ve been told that the last is a "higher level" expression as the first.
"I mean..." is a good translation...
O sea (two separate words) can also be translated as "that is to say".
I mean está bien si se usa en un contexto informal. prefiero la opción de Hebe y Sandra para textos formales
o sea Humberto,tienes mucha razón..:)Quote:
