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

A classic River Plate expression. Vivo in this sense means cunning or streetwise, not 'alive'. Hacerse el vivo implies someone is trying to pull a fast one or take advantage in a social situation, usually with a negative, accusatory tone.
Used in River Plate Spanish to flirtatiously compliment someone's looks. Can be playful and lighthearted or slightly pushy depending on context. Said from one person to another they find attractive.
From the idea of a computer freezing. In everyday Argentine speech, quedar tildado means to be mentally stuck or unable to stop thinking about something, or literally frozen with surprise.
Used for documents, debts, or subscriptions that are current and not expired. Also used for being caught up on news or tasks. Non-compositional in the sense that it applies to documents and obligations in a way that cannot be guessed purely from 'at the day'.
Used as a fixed phrase. While it exists in English too, its inclusion here is for the specific Argentine intonation and context: it often signals a tense concession from someone in authority, not a casual remark.
Not simply 'being funny'. It carries irritation: the speaker is telling someone to stop deflecting with jokes or sarcasm when a serious matter is at hand.
Literally 'to make mashed potato'. Used in Argentine speech to mean completely overpowering or humiliating someone, whether in a fight, competition, or social conflict.
The Argentine term for a pop-up second-hand goods market or garage sale-style event, often held in public spaces. The name has nothing to do with the United States in current usage; it simply refers to this type of informal sale.
