Spanish Slang: Carnal

Carnal the English adjective meaning bodily or Corporeal is spelled and means the same thing in Spanish. In Spanish from Mexico it also has a slang meaning. It is most commonly used to refer to a brother or very close friend. See below for pronunciation guide. Read the word after the "Pronounced:" as if it was in English. I read out loud it will sound like Spanish.
Carnal
Pronounced: Kahr-nahl
Translates to: Brother (Slang)
Sample use, You are with a friend and you want to ask how his or her brother is doing.
Como esta tu carnal?
Pronounced: Coh-moh ehs-tah too kahr-nahl?
Translates to: How is your brother? (Slang)
