WhatsApp Spanish: the real written language

Business and friendship alike run on WhatsApp in Latin America. Kit: buenas, una consulta..., ¿me pasás...?, dale, listo, ya te confirmo, audio etiquette.

Explanation

Abbreviations: q/k (que), xq/pq (porque), tb (también), bn (bien), porfa, finde, dnd. Laughter: jajaja (jjj). Dale = OK; listo = done/deal; ya = on it / right away (elastic).

Even stores and notaries chat: buenas, ¿tienen disponible el modelo X?, sí, le mando fotos. Voice notes are huge; opening with a greeting line before the request remains expected.

WhatsApp is the real written language of the region (stores, landlords, and notaries all chat on it) so the kit blends speech with abbreviations: q/k (que), xq/pq (porque), tb (también), porfa, finde, plus dale (OK), listo (done), and ya (on it). Voice notes are huge, and even here a greeting line before the request is still expected.
