Season 3 · Episode 2
Avatar: The Last Airbender
To better blend in as Fire Nation citizens, Aang enrolls in a Fire Nation school, giving himself an opportunity to learn more about the Nation and to enjoy life as a normal kid for the first time since he discovered he was the Avatar. Meanwhile Zuko, growing more and more paranoid about the Avatar's false demise, brings himself to confront the imprisoned Iroh.
Common fixed expression meaning something is effortless. The episode plays on it with a local twist referencing fire, but the expression itself is widely understood across Spanish-speaking communities in the United States.
Literally means 'to be in flames,' but is used figuratively to say someone is performing exceptionally well. Common in informal speech among younger speakers in the United States.
Used when catching someone in a lie, a game, or a compromising situation. Short and punchy; very common in informal spoken Spanish in the United States.
Signals that the speaker feels the other person caused their own trouble. The reflexive 'buscarse' used this way (to bring something on oneself) is non-compositional for learners who only know 'buscar' as 'to look for.'
Used to admit being caught in a lie or trick. 'Atrapar' literally means to trap or catch, but this phrase functions as a fixed admission of being found out.
