camotes

In Mexican slang, 'camotes' refers to a state of being deeply in love or infatuated. The term literally translates to 'sweet potatoes', but in this context, it's used metaphorically.

Examples

  • Spanish: Estoy camotes por esa chica, no puedo dejar de pensar en ella.
  • English: I'm crazy in love with that girl, I can't stop thinking about her.
