/fi-CHAR/
To identify someone with a bad reputation or label someone as suspicious or dangerous. In Mexico, when someone gets 'fichado,' the whole neighborhood knows what they're about.
"They've already pegged him in the neighborhood — everyone knows what he's up to."
"They'll label you if you keep hanging around those people."
/Sounds like 'fee-CHAR'/
To spot, notice, or lock eyes on someone with special interest. When you fichar someone, you're marking them mentally — in soccer it means scouts have noticed talent; in social settings it means someone caught your eye.
"The rival team already has their eye on him."
"She clocked you the moment you walked into the bar."
