/Sounds like "BOOR" (as in "boot") + "dah" (as in "dart")/

Meaning

A lot, tons, a huge amount of something in Venezuela, the intensifier that signals there's more of something than you can handle. 'Burda de' pumps up any noun: burda de gente, burda de trabajo, burda de años. It's enthusiastic, colorful, and distinctly Venezuelan.

Examples

There were tons of people at the concert.

I got a huge pile of work this month.

/Sounds like "BOOR" (as in "boot") + "dah" (as in "dart")/

Meaning

A ton, way too much, an insane amount, the ultimate Venezuelan intensifier that multiplies any adjective by a thousand. You slap burda in front of anything and it instantly becomes extreme.

Examples

That restaurant is burda expensive, let's eat somewhere else.

I like that song burda, I've got it on repeat.

It's burda hot today, I can't take it.
