Bandera de Ecuador

/Sounds like 'ah-nee-NYAH-doh'/

Someone who grew up wealthy and acts like it — privileged, entitled, and out of touch with how most people live. In Ecuador, aniñado describes the rich kid who's never had to work, doesn't understand money struggles, and treats service workers poorly without thinking twice about it.

Example

"Es muy aniñado, nunca ha trabajado en su vida. → "He's very privileged — he's never worked a day in his life."

"Actúa muy aniñada para alguien que dice ser normal. → "She acts very entitled for someone who claims to be down to earth."

Regional synonyms:

Ser atractivo, deseado o tener mucha demanda entre las personas. En México y Chile 'cotizar' es estar en la mira de todos por tu atractivo o popularidad.
