Violetta
A musically-talented teenager returns to her native Buenos Aires after living in Europe.
Vos imperative of parar. Used to interrupt or slow someone down, equivalent to 'hold on' or 'wait up'. Very common in everyday Argentine speech.
Literally 'hard face'. Refers to someone who acts brazenly without shame. Stronger than 'sinvergüenza' in implying deliberate audacity. Very common in Argentine everyday speech.
Extremely common Argentine filler and response word. Can confirm agreement ('okay'), encourage action ('go on'), or close an exchange ('alright then'). Tone and context determine which.
Exclamation used to signal mild surprise or to call out someone's tone or attitude, similar to 'hey now' or 'watch it'.
Literally 'without shame'. Used as an insult ranging from mildly indignant to genuinely angry. Can also be used affectionately among friends depending on tone.
Diminutive of 'mentiroso'. The -ín suffix adds a playful or affectionate tone, softening what would otherwise be a straight accusation of lying.
In Argentine informal speech, 'maja' (feminine of 'majo') can be used sincerely or lightly ironically to address someone. The character's amused reaction suggests it reads as slightly old-fashioned or unexpected in context.
Used here in the social sense of being conditionally accepted into a group, not yet a full member. The same phrase is used in work contexts for a probationary period.
