Really tough, intense, or hard to deal with. In Colombia it's used to describe difficult situations or people with a strong, determined character.
“The exam was tenaz, almost nobody passed.”
“The economic situation is tenaz for everyone.”
“Your mom is tenaz, you can't say no to anything with her.”
/Sounds like "teh" (as in "ten") + "NAHZ" (as in "nacho")/
Something extremely difficult, intense, or overwhelming in Colombia. When something is tenaz, it is putting you through it: too tough, too complicated, too much pressure. It can describe a brutal exam, a rough situation at work, or anything that takes a serious toll.
“That exam was brutal, almost nobody passed.”
“Things are really tough right now, there's barely any work.”

In Colombia, a neutral, catch-all word for a guy, a man, or just some person. It carries no strong positive or negative charge on its own; the tone depends entirely on context and delivery. Think "dude" or "that guy" in English.
