Violetta
A musically-talented teenager returns to her native Buenos Aires after living in Europe.
An affectionate, informal term for father used between siblings or close family members in Argentina. More intimate and casual than 'papá'.
From 'embarrar' (to cover in mud). Used as a warning to stop someone from complicating or worsening a situation with their words or actions. Very natural in Argentine colloquial speech.
A fixed idiomatic expression. The image is of breaking dishes and having to pay for them even if you were not the one who broke them. Common in everyday Argentine speech.
Widely used across Argentine Spanish to describe saying or doing something awkward or wrong in a social situation. 'No la embarre' in the dialogue carries a similar function (see separate entry).
A fixed metaphorical expression. The image is of a group pulling a rope or a cart in the same direction. Used to encourage teamwork or unity.
From 'tentar' (to tempt). In everyday Argentine speech, 'me tentás' is commonly used to say that an offer or suggestion is appealing, with no negative connotation. It is warmer and more personal than simply saying 'me parece bien'.
A vivid colloquial expression meaning to completely impress or astonish an audience. 'Le volamos la peluca' literally pictures blowing someone's wig off from sheer impact.
