Memories

Very common in casual speech. The gerund form with 'estar' signals an ongoing action and is the natural way to say 'you're kidding' in the moment.

A fixed emotional reaction phrase. The reflexive 'creerse' carries more emotional weight than plain 'creer', implying genuine disbelief or astonishment.

Literally 'fairground tricks'. Used figuratively to dismiss something as a superficial or unimpressive stunt rather than genuine substance.

The adjective 'pendiente' meaning 'pending' or 'unfinished' is used with 'quedar' or 'quedarse' to describe matters that were never settled or concluded.

A fixed temporal phrase signalling a definitive change or new instruction taking effect immediately. Very common in both formal directives and casual speech.
