Worth remembering from this episode
Ordered by what we think matters most.
vos
you (singular, informal)expressioncolloquialThe standard second-person singular informal pronoun in Argentina and several other Latin American countries.

Vos sabés mejor que nadie lo que pasó esa noche.You know better than anyone what happened that night.Vilu
Vilu (affectionate nickname)expressioncolloquialA shortened, affectionate nickname formed from 'Violetta'. In Latin American Spanish, clipping a name to one or two syllables and adding an endearing sound is a very common way to signal closeness or affection between friends and family.
