Answer 4

People from Dominican Republic use that word as a slang.

It is spelled correct and it means "Buddy". It is used when there's a good friendship among two men, never if you do not know that person.

It's origin is from Dominican Republic and it is also used, but not so frequent, in other Caribbean Islands...

The real word comes from the Italian language. It is "Paisano" which means "Countrymen".

In The Caribbean instead of using the whole word, they just use part of it: "Paisa", and as a slang word.

Answer 5

Depends. It's original meaning was for "countrymen" in Mexican Spanish. Now it is a derogatory term for "A Mexican living in the United States that wears cowboy hats, belts and Boots made of Ostrich..."

In Hindi ( India ) Paisa means money. Generally it refers to the smaller coin, that is, it is like cent or penny. Many a times, an Indian will refer a thing which he has liked as " paisa vasool",  meaning it is money's worth.

Paisa, which has been correctly spelled here,was  a small currency unit in India up to 1958. It was 1/64 th part of a rupee.On introduction of decimal currency,it was replaced by Naya Paisa which was 1/100 part of a rupee. Paisa has entered the colloquial language and conveys the meaning of wealth too.

in Spanish "paisa" is short for "paisano". a person who is born or lives in the same place as another one does. for example, someone else who lives in your same city could be considered your "paisano". the term is also often used to referr to men who work in the fields/farmers.

Answer 11

The dictionary meaning is this: "Name that occurs him to the Antiochians in the republic of Colombia." I hope this helps. :)

Answer 12

.....it means "some one is attempting to give you the manipulative koochy-coo"....but in vocabulary, it is an 'endearing' term of informal friendship...no strings attached....

...as in Paisano, meaning one from this place, we are one of the same group, yes?

...in this you become one of the 'birds of a feather'

...(and all of the repsonsbility that goes with it)

Answer 13

No idea.  Can you give the context?
