We really like to use PAVADA down here. Do you know its different possible meanings?

Check out the examples below and let there be light.

Una PAVADA

Something of no importance.

  • -Guille, ¿podés hablar? Te quería preguntar una pavada.

Es una PAVADA

It means it’s easy.

  • -¿No sabés usar las formas de VOS? Es una pavada, ahora te explico.

Decir PAVADAS

To speak nonsense.

  • -No digas pavadas, Lucas. ¿Cómo te vas a ir a vivir a Miami si no tenés plata ni para viajar en bondi?

In this example, pavadas could be replaced with BOLUDECES
