  5. 5

    misia

    a respectful-affectionate title for an older or socially elevated woman, equivalent to 'doña' or 'ma'am'
    expressioncolloquial~6× this episode

    Contraction of 'mi señora'. Used by social inferiors or familiar acquaintances toward women of higher status or age. Signals warmth combined with deference, neither purely servile nor purely intimate. Very characteristic of rural and small-town Colombian speech.

    Misia Rosario, ¿le puedo ayudar con esas bolsas?Ma'am Rosario, can I help you with those bags?
  6. 6

    recolector/a

    harvester / coffee picker
    noun (m/f)~5× this episode
    Los recolectores llegan de diferentes municipios cuando empieza la temporada.The harvesters arrive from different municipalities when the season begins.
  7. 7

    vea

    hey / look / listen up
    expressioncolloquial~3× this episode

    Imperative of 'ver' repurposed as a discourse marker to call attention or introduce a statement. In Colombian Spanish this is extremely common as a conversation starter or to signal that something important follows. It does not literally mean 'look at this'; it functions more like 'hey, listen' or 'now get this'. Very characteristic of Antioqueño and general Colombian informal speech.

    Vea, yo le voy a explicar cómo funciona esto.Hey, I'm going to explain to you how this works.
  8. 8

    herencia

    inheritance
    noun (f)~3× this episode
    Los trámites jurídicos de la herencia pueden tardar varios meses.The legal paperwork for the inheritance can take several months.
  9. 9

    ¿cómo así?

    what do you mean? / how so? / what exactly are you saying?
    expressioncolloquial

    A very frequent Colombian expression of surprise, confusion, or a request for clarification. It signals that the speaker has heard something unexpected or unclear and wants the other person to explain. The tone can range from genuinely puzzled to mildly indignant, depending on intonation.

    ¿Cómo así que renunciaste sin avisarle a nadie?What do you mean you quit without telling anyone?
  10. 10

    deportada

    deported
    adjective / past participle (f)
    Fue deportada porque no tenía documentos en regla al llegar al aeropuerto.She was deported because she didn't have her papers in order when she arrived at the airport.
  11. 11

    momentico

    just a moment / a quick second
    expressioncolloquial

    Diminutive of 'momento', formed with the Colombian diminutive suffix '-ico' rather than '-ito'. The '-ico/-ica' diminutive is a strong regional marker in Colombian Spanish, especially in Antioquia, the coffee-growing region, and the Caribbean coast. It adds a sense of smallness, brevity, or softening, here implying the stop will be brief and unimposing.

    Espérame un momentico que ya termino.Wait for me just a second, I'm almost done.
