Jarana Spanish

manyar

Short answer

In Lima, "manyar" means to get it, to understand. The register is muy coloquial — fine among friends, out of place in a job interview or anything written to an institution. The standard Spanish equivalent is "entender". In use: ¿Manyas o te lo explico otra vez?

Very Lima. Usually a question — ¿manyas? — checking that you followed. Informal enough that it marks the register immediately.
