Te quiero mucho, poquito, nada

Widely used positive exclamation or adjective in Colombian Spanish, especially in the Medellín region. Can describe a person, thing, or situation. Originally a vulgar term but now largely desensitized in everyday speech among younger speakers; context determines tone.

Colombian colloquial idiom expressing that someone is in serious difficulty, financially or otherwise. Not guessable from its literal meaning ('to be in the oven').

Used reflexively ('mosquear' or 'mosquiarse') to indicate irritation or taking something the wrong way. The connection to the literal word (fly/mosquito) is not obvious to learners.

Affectionate and very common informal Colombian term for one's father. Can also refer to an older man in general. Tone is warm rather than disrespectful between family members.

Vulgar Colombian insult for a young person seen as naive, irresponsible, or immature. Used dismissively by an older speaker about a younger one. Not appropriate in formal contexts.

Used as a standalone exclamation in Colombian speech to react to something surprising, unfair, or difficult. Similar in function to 'that's tough' or 'that's harsh' in English. Not guessable from the standard dictionary meaning of 'rough/coarse'.
