Violetta
A musically-talented teenager returns to her native Buenos Aires after living in Europe.
Vos imperative of 'irse'. Used forcefully to tell someone to leave. Very common in heated exchanges in Rioplatense speech. The tone ranges from firm to aggressive depending on context.
A fixed phrase accusing someone of feigning ignorance. Common in arguments when one person believes the other is lying or hiding something.
In Rioplatense Spanish, 'cargar' (and 'cargar a alguien') means to mock or tease. Unrelated to its literal meaning of 'to carry' or 'to load'. 'Me están cargando' means 'they're making fun of me'.
Used as a reflexive-style construction: 'me da vergüenza' means 'I'm ashamed / I find it embarrassing'. The subject is the thing causing embarrassment, not the person.
Strong colloquial negation in Rioplatense Spanish. Equivalent to 'ni en pedo' in force but less vulgar. Used to flatly reject a statement, accusation, or suggestion.
While 'celoso' is a dictionary word, its deployment here as a social accusation ('estás celoso' said to dismiss someone's behavior) is a culturally loaded conversational move. Used to invalidate or reframe someone's actions as motivated by envy.
Idiomatic expression meaning to deliberately cause conflict or bad feeling between people. Derived from 'cizaña' (a weed that grows among wheat). Common in social/interpersonal contexts.
In Rioplatense Spanish, 'encarar' means to face someone head-on, whether to settle a dispute or to make a romantic move. Context makes the meaning clear. Very common in everyday speech.
