Pata
/Sounds like "PAH" (as in "park") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
Friend, buddy, or just some person you are talking about. In Peru, pata covers everyone from your closest friend to someone you barely know from the neighborhood. It is the all-purpose Peruvian word for any guy in your world.
“A buddy of mine tipped me off that the place was closing.”
“Who's that guy who was looking for you all afternoon?”
Pata
/Sounds like "PAH" (as in "park") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
A close friend or buddy in Peru. It's the Peruvian version of "bro", used between people who genuinely trust each other. You'd call your childhood friend or your ride-or-die crew your "patas.".
“What's up, bro? How are you?”
“I went out with my buddies to grab some beers.”

Novela
A dramatic situation that has spiraled into full soap opera territory, with impossible conflicts and unexpected plot twists. Used in Mexico and Central America. When someone says "esto ya se volvió novela," the situation has gone from a normal life problem to something with betrayals, secret revelations, and scenes that belong on primetime TV.
