Violetta
A musically-talented teenager returns to her native Buenos Aires after living in Europe.

A key Rioplatense idiom. 'Vivo' in this context means 'shrewd' or 'sly', not 'alive'. The phrase describes someone pretending innocence while knowing exactly what they are doing, or someone trying to take advantage of a situation.
Short for '¿Sos [así] o te hacés?' This Rioplatense fixed phrase questions whether someone's apparent naivety or behavior is genuine or performed. 'Hacerse' here means 'to pretend to be'. Often rhetorical and slightly teasing.
Rioplatense term derived from 'pavo' (turkey). Calling something a 'pavada' dismisses it as foolish or insignificant. Can refer to a silly comment, a minor problem, or a trifle. Tone ranges from affectionate dismissal to mild irritation depending on context.
Extremely common in Rioplatense speech. Literally 'did you see?' but functions as a tag question or rhetorical confirmation-seeker, similar to 'you know?' or 'right?' in English. Used at the end of a statement to invite agreement.
Common affectionate address in everyday Argentine speech. The literal meaning is 'heart', but when used as a direct address it functions like 'honey' or 'darling' and carries warmth rather than romantic intensity. Used between friends, family members, and colleagues who are close.
Fixed adverbial phrase meaning to do something impressively or on a grand scale. The literal words suggest 'in the large way', but the idiomatic sense is about making a powerful impression or sparing no effort.
Idiomatic expression meaning to eagerly take advantage of or access something valuable, especially money or opportunity. The literal image of biting gives it a greedy or hungry connotation.
Literally 'field study', an academic term. When used in everyday conversation to describe finding out personal details about someone, it is ironic and self-aware, signaling that the speaker knows they were being nosy.
