eres una baddie
/eɾes una baddje/from spelling rules
eres una baddie is how to say "you're a baddie" in Spanish.
Did you know?
- While 'baddie' is a compliment in English, if you replace it with the Spanish word mala, the meaning flips entirely from being attractive to being a person with a bad character.
- The use of baddie in Spanish is heavily influenced by the global spread of Reggaetón and Trap music lyrics from Puerto Rico and Colombia.
- The word eres is actually a linguistic survivor from a future tense in Latin, eris, which eventually replaced the original present tense form 'es' in common speech.
Examples in context
- ¡Mira ese outfit, eres una baddie!Look at that outfit, you're a baddie!
- No te detengas, eres una baddie.Don't stop, you're a baddie.
- Con esa actitud, eres una baddie de verdad.With that attitude, you're a real baddie.
