/Sounds like 'mah-LAN-drah'/
A street criminal or sketchy individual — but one with a certain cool. In Venezuela, malandra can be a genuine threat (someone involved in crime) or affectionate teasing (calling a friend who's up to no good your malandra).
"Cuidado con ese malandra, roba en el sector."
"Eres un malandra, ¿cómo te saliste con la tuya? → Watch out for that street thug, he steals in the neighborhood."
"You're a sneaky one, how did you pull that off?"
