Violetta
A musically-talented teenager returns to her native Buenos Aires after living in Europe.
Rhyming fixed expression used to dismiss past grievances and move on. Very natural in everyday Rioplatense speech.
From the verb 'copar', widely used in Rioplatense Spanish to mean that something is appealing or that someone enjoys something.
Literally 'little snotty one'. Used dismissively to refer to a young girl seen as immature or meddlesome. Can be affectionate when said by a caregiver but is cutting when used by a rival.
Affectionate diminutive used toward a young girl. The speaker signals warmth or protective feeling, though it can also carry a patronising undertone.
Rioplatense term for someone who acts excessively starstruck or fawning around famous people. Slightly mocking in tone.
Fixed proverb used to say a child takes after a parent, often with a mildly ironic or critical edge in context.
Short for 'armar un lío' or 'armar un escándalo'. The phrase is always followed by an intensifier or comparison, as in 'se arma una de acá a la China', meaning the fallout would be enormous.
Hyperbolic fixed expression emphasising that the consequences would be extreme. Equivalent to saying something would be 'off the charts' in scale.
