po

/ˈpo/ · B2 · intj

emphatic, well

Spanish po = clipped pues, so it means well then, with emphasis

Po is a casual shortening of pues, meaning well or so. Chilean speakers tack it onto the end of phrases for emphasis, as in sí po, which means yes, of course. Think of pues losing its tail and becoming the short po.
