Episode 6

Used when plans, efforts, or situations collapse completely. The traste (fret, or old word for a broken piece) gives the image of something smashed and useless.

The counterpart to dar la baja. A doctor gives the alta when the patient is deemed recovered and fit to resume normal activity. Can also apply to hospital discharge.

Means to act aggressively, decisively, or without restraint in pursuit of a goal. It can describe assertive negotiation, a physical effort, or blunt communication depending on context.

Refers specifically to someone who deliberately creates conflict between others, often by exaggerating or distorting what each side has said. More pointed than simply 'gossiping'.
