Violetta
A musically-talented teenager returns to her native Buenos Aires after living in Europe.
Rioplatense fixed expression. The plural corridas signals a frantic, scrambling kind of haste, not just being quick.
Used here as a serious spoken agreement between two people to not reveal a shared secret. More emotionally weighted than 'acuerdo' in this context.
In Rioplatense use, 'hacerte bien' directed at a person (rather than a thing) means to be a positive, healthy influence on that person emotionally or personally. It is non-compositional in this interpersonal sense.
The diminutive suffix -ita turns querida into something that sounds affectionate on the surface but is frequently weaponized as a patronizing or sarcastic put-down. Tone of voice is everything.
A fixed insult used to dismiss someone's criticism by attributing it entirely to jealousy. Literally 'envy is poisoning you', but functions as a sharp rhetorical dismissal rather than a literal statement.
Literally refers to pests or vermin, but applied to people it is a strong insult meaning scheming, untrustworthy, or morally repulsive individuals.
Refers to a persistent, simmering personal antipathy toward someone or something, stronger than mere annoyance but not quite hatred.
