In Spanish, 'diez cuatro' literally translates to 'ten four'. However, in slang, it is often used as a code phrase to acknowledge an understood message, similar to 'copy that' or 'roger that'. It originates from the numerical codes used in police and emergency services.
Examples
- Spanish: Miguel, necesito que recojas a los niños de la escuela. – Diez cuatro, en camino ahora.
- English: Miguel, I need you to pick up the kids from school. – Ten four, on my way now.
