When I was a little kid, my dad used to tell me 'padase' when he wanted me to stand up, and 'sientate' when he wanted me to sit down. I've forgotten almost all the Spanish he taught me, but I remember those two words very clearly.
However, I can't find 'padase' in any dictionary! I'm certain I'm not misremembering. Is it a Tejano Spanish thing? My family's from the desert of southwest Texas.
Does anyone else use this word?
