Add a word/Sounds like "TROO" (as in "true") + "choh" (as in "chose")/
Meaning
Fake, counterfeit, or not what it claims to be. Used in Argentina and Bolivia for knockoff brands, phony documents, and anything that looks legitimate until you look a little closer. The telltale signs always surface eventually.
Examples
“Ese Nike es trucho, lo vendieron en la feria por diez pesos.”
“Those Nikes are fake, they sold them at the market for basically nothing.”
“No me fío de ese documento, tiene pinta de trucho.”
“I don't trust that document, it looks like a forgery to me.”
/Sounds like "TROO" (as in "true") + "choh" (as in "chose")/
Meaning
Fake, bootleg, knockoff, or not original or genuine. In Argentina and Uruguay, 'trucho' is used to describe counterfeit products or situations that are unbelievable and lack authenticity, often with a hint of distrust or disregard for the inauthentic nature of the thing or person in question.
Examples
“Those sneakers are truchos, you can tell from a mile away.”
“They sold him a trucho iPhone at the market.”
“His excuse was so trucho, nobody believed him.”

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.
