XA (on Spanish Messaging Apps)

What Does XA Mean?

(¿Que Significa XA?)

XA means "para." ("Para" means "for" in English.)

In Spanish, the letter X represents "por" (for), which is similar to "para" (another word that means for).

"Por" is the word for "times" as in "two times two" (or "dos por dos"), which is the reason X means "por." The a is added to differentiate "para" from "por."

When messaging, Spanish speakers often use the letter Q or K to mean "que."
