✧ Spanish vocab - Tomodachi Life (4/?) ✧

Long time no Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream vocab post! Probably because I haven't played the game in a month, oops 😬

Anyway as always keep in mind that these are mostly colloquial and mostly Spain-specific! 🌺💖

✧ Words ✧

Soplar - To blow

Soplarle algo a alguien - To rat on, to inform someone of something

Me han soplado que en el estudio fotográfico puedes sacarnos unas fotos muy chulas. ¿Eso es verdad? - I heard that you can take some really cool photos of us at the photo studio. Is that true?

Porfi, durante el examen ves soplándome las respuestas, que no he estudiado y quiero aprobar. - During the test, can you whisper the answers to me, pretty please? I haven't studied and I want to pass.

Comodón, comodona - Cushy person, lazy

Los Mii son un poco comodones a veces; por eso no bajarán a la playa si no colocas una escalinata. - Miis can be a bit lazy sometimes; that's why they won't go down to the beach unless you put in a set of steps.

This is an augmentative of cómodo ("comfortable"). There are some nouns like this, formed by adding -ón to an adjective and applying them to people, and they usually tend to be a bit pejorative (if you call someone comodón it's certainly not to flatter them lmao). Un comodón, for example, is someone who doesn't like doing things unless they are easy. Can you guess what cabezón, dormilón and criticón mean?

Notición - Bombshell, great news

Es un notición. ¿Me puedo ir ya? - That's great news. Can I go now?

Same as above - notición comes from noticia ("news"). Though in this case it doesn't have a negative connotation. Other similar words are problemón or peliculón.

Fetén - Very good

Lo vas a pasar fetén en el concierto. - You're going to have a blast at the concert.

Te juro que normalmente es una chica muy fetén, lo que pasa es que la has pillado de mal humor. - I swear, she's usually a really cool girl, it's just that you caught her in a bad mood.

Rajar - To rip, to tear || To talk about something

Parece que están rajando de todas las cosas indignantes de 2026... - It seems like they're talking about all the outrageous things that happened in 2026…

✧ Expressions ✧

De pleno - Totally

Te equivocas de pleno. - You're totally wrong.

Darlo todo - To give it your best shot

A pesar de que lo ha dado todo, se ha quedado a un mísero centímetro de romper el récord mundial de estiramiento de cara. - Even though she gave it her all, she fell just one measly centimeter short of breaking the world record for face-stretching.

Pitarle los oídos a alguien - To have one's ears ring

¿No te pitaban los oídos hace un rato? Porque Ana estaba hablando de ti... - Didn't your ears ring a little while ago? Because Ana was talking about you…

Some Spanish popular belief says that if your ears ring it's because someone is talking badly about you or thinking about you. Why exactly I have no idea, but it's pretty much the same thing as that comedy gag in anime where character A is talking about character B, and then the camera cuts to character B and they sneeze.

Controlar mucho de - To know a lot about something

¡Se nota que controlas mucho del tema! - You really know your stuff!

Partirse la caja - To laugh a lot

Están partiéndose la caja por el peculiar sabor de la patata asada... - They're cracking up over the unique flavor of the roasted potato…

Ponerse hasta los topes de - To stuff oneself with

Ayer soñé que me ponía hasta los topes de pastel. - Yesterday I dreamed that I stuffed myself with cake.

No ver tres en un burro - To be blind as a bat

Maldita niebla de marras. ¡No veo tres en un burro! - Damn fog. I can't see a thing!

Tangentially related, but a common Spanish joke people tell, usually when you don't have any funny jokes, is "Van dos y se cae el del medio" ("Two people are going somewhere and the one in the middle falls down"). I know, it is deeply unfunny.

Starting a collection of these bc my homestate is making me so goddamn proud

ICE came in two SUVs to try and grab a pregnant mother who was picking her other child up from a west Oakland (like three miles from my house) elementary school yesterday afternoon. Neighbors and other community members immediately boxed the ICE vehicles in with their own cars, surrounded the “officers,” and harassed them until they left (without their target). This is the only kind of response that’s acceptable from anyone witnessing this shit, and as Oakland Councilwoman Caroll Fife said after the incident, “there were too many white people around for them [ICE] to stick around.”

Fellow white people: if you’re able, put your bodies/vehicles/voices in between these kidnappers and their targets, ESPECIALLY if you look “respectable” (eg soccer mom/dad, business attire etc). They’re much, much less likely to engage violently with individuals and crowds who look like ppl they respect/view as human (white/white passing) so use their prejudice to your advantage.

Also: Karen the FUCK outta them. Eg. “I want to see badges and identification containing your full name and title, I want the names and contact information of your direct supervisors, I want to see a warrant signed by a judge that includes the full legal name of the individual you are attempting to detain, and I want to see these items now.” Speak loudly but as calmly and firmly as possible, don’t touch them but stay in between them and whoever they’re trying to grab if possible. Repeat.

Hot take: we should also not be torturing incarcerated people with disgusting-on-purpose food, because they are human beings.
