Expressions to listen for
10joderfuck / damn (general exclamation of frustration or emphasis)
vulgarAppears ~4× in this episode
Extremely common in everyday speech. Used to vent frustration, express surprise, or add emphasis. The sharpness varies enormously with intonation, it can range from sharp anger to mild exasperation. Also used mid-sentence as a filler between adults who know each other well.
¡Joder, se me ha olvidado el cargador otra vez!Damn, I've forgotten my charger again!
liantatroublemaker / someone who stirs things up (affectionate or mildly reproachful)
colloquialAppears ~2× in this episode
From the verb 'liar' (to get someone involved in something complicated). A 'lianta' causes confusion or drags others into scrapes, but the word often carries a fond or indulgent tone rather than a purely negative one.
Ese chico es un lianta, siempre monta algún follón en clase.That boy is a troublemaker, he always kicks up some fuss in class.
cuadrarto add up / to make sense / to fit (used when facts or details are consistent)
colloquialAppears ~3× in this episode
In investigative or analytical contexts this verb means the pieces of a situation are consistent or logical. When negated, 'no me cuadra', it signals doubt or suspicion that something is off.
Su coartada no me cuadra, porque las horas no coinciden.His alibi doesn't add up, because the times don't match.
quedarto arrange to meet / to have plans with someone
colloquialAppears ~3× in this episode
One of the most frequent uses of 'quedar' in everyday speech, easily missed by learners who only know 'to remain / to be left'. 'He quedado con alguien' means 'I have plans to meet someone', not 'I have remained with someone'.
He quedado con Marta a las ocho para tomar algo.I've arranged to meet Marta at eight for a drink.
