/Sounds like "mah" (as in "mark") + "CHEEN" (as in "cheek")/
A ton, a crazy amount, way more than you can count. Popular in northern Mexico and along the US-Mexico border, "machin" cranks the intensity all the way up when attached to nouns or adjectives. Insane heat, ridiculous hunger, massive excitement. Short, punchy, very norteño.
“It is insanely hot out here, you cannot even step outside.”
“I love that band so much, I have already seen them live three times.”
/Sounds like "mah" (as in "mark") + "CHEEN" (as in "cheek")/
A lot, a ton, with full intensity. It's used in Mexico to exaggerate or emphasize just how much of something there is, basically the superlative of 'mucho.'
“I like that song a lot, I've had it on repeat all day.”
“It rained super hard last night, the streets flooded.”
/Sounds like "mah" (as in "mark") + "CHEEN" (as in "cheek")/
A lot, loads, way too much. In Costa Rica and Nicaragua machín is the intensifier that turns any amount into an overwhelming quantity.
“There were loads of people at the beach.”
“You've got way too much homework, how are you going to finish that?”

Quiniela
In Mexico, a sports prediction pool, usually for soccer matches, where you try to guess the outcome of each game: win, draw, or loss. Making your quiniela is a beloved pre-match ritual, especially during tournaments.
