to be 'it' in a gameexpressioncolloquialIn the context of children's chasing games, 'quedar' (or 'quedarla') means to be designated as the chaser or tagger. This game-specific use is not predictable from the verb's standard meanings (to stay, to remain, to fit). Widely used in Latin American children's play.
Perdiste en el conteo, así que te queda a ti.You lost the count, so you're 'it'.de tin marín
eeny meeny miny moe (a nonsense rhyme used to pick who is 'it')expressioncolloquialA traditional children's counting-out rhyme used across Latin America to randomly select a player, typically for tag-style games. The full rhyme varies by country and region but the phrase 'de tin marín de do pingüé' is widely recognized. It is purely functional within children's play and carries no literal meaning.
Antes de empezar el juego, los niños dijeron 'de tin marín' para ver quién la quedaba.Before starting the game, the kids said 'de tin marín' to see who would be 'it'.
