/Sounds like "loh" (as in "loan") + "teh" (as in "ten") + "REE" (as in "reed") + "ah" (as in "art")/
A traditional Mexican card game where illustrated cards are called out one by one and players mark them on their boards, essentially bingo with iconic Mexican imagery. The cards feature classic images like the sun, the mermaid, the rooster, and the skeleton. Lotería is inseparable from fairs, posadas, and family gatherings across Mexico.
“Lotería! I filled my board first, I win!”
“At the fair there is always a lotería stand with stuffed animal prizes for the winners.”

Bien pueda
A very warm Colombian expression meaning "go ahead" or "please, feel free." Reflects the hospitality and courtesy that Colombian culture is known for. You will hear it constantly when someone is granting permission or inviting you to do something, especially in Medellin and the coffee-growing region.
