Tired from trying to escape a machine that shows up every time they try to sleep, Aang and the gang have to escape Azula and her team, but their exhaustion leads to a tight situation. Meanwhile, Zuko must deal with something personal, and Iroh bonds with an unlikely individual.
Used figuratively to mean managing one's own responsibilities without relying on others. The literal words suggest physical carrying, but the intended meaning is entirely about self-sufficiency and not being a burden.
A very common exclamation expressing strong disgust or revulsion. 'Asco' literally means 'disgust' or 'nausea', but 'qué asco' functions as a fixed exclamative with the force of 'that's revolting' or simply 'gross', especially among younger speakers.
Extremely frequent filler and discourse marker. Depending on tone, it can invite someone to explain themselves, signal impatience, or simply mean 'well' or 'right'. It does not mean 'to see' in context.
A fixed expression that does not translate word-for-word from its components 'dar' and 'igual'. Used to express indifference or to dismiss a topic as irrelevant. Often heard as 'da igual' or 'me da igual'.
A fixed proverbial expression used to justify a cautious decision. Widely understood across all age groups and registers.
Standard polite response to 'gracias'. Literally 'there is nothing to thank for', but functions as a fixed pleasantry rather than a compositional phrase.
