Buti
/Sounds like "BOO" (as in "boot") + "tee" (as in "tea")/
A lot, a whole bunch, tons of something. Nicaragua's go-to intensifier for pumping up any noun or adjective. When a Nicaraguan says they have buti of something, they mean seriously a lot. It is casual, energetic, and one of the most recognizable markers of Nicaraguan speech.
“Comí buti en la fiesta y quedé lleno.”
“I ate a ton at the party and was completely stuffed.”
“Hace buti calor hoy, no hay quien aguante.”
“It is way too hot today, nobody can stand it.”
