- Description
- “No sabo" is an incorrect way of saying “I don’t know” in Spanish. The correct translation is “no se.”
'No Sabo' is a term used for Latinos who aren’t fluent in Spanish. But what used to be a derogatory term has now become a cultural phenomenon online. Let's take a look at TikTok: #NoSabo has nearly 650 million video views. #NoSaboKids has 400 million views. Now Latinos are discovering they can learn Spanish in their own way and on their own timeline.
Jonathan Valverde is a Spanish teacher at Encinitas Country Day School. He didn’t grow up speaking Spanish in his home. He said it was the pull of his culture through Mariachi music that made him a #NoSaboKid no more.

- Last week, CBS 8 introduced you to a 62-year-old San Diego man who for the first time in his life, found himself homeless. He asked us not to use his real name, so we're calling him Scott.

Starting a week ago Tuesday, he lined up at the City of San Diego's Homelessness Response Center around 4:30 a.m. to get a bed in a shelter, but five days in a row he got turned away. And the scene down there made him fear for his safety.
