marico triste

This term is a combination of two words 'marico', a Venezuelan slang term often used as a synonym for 'friend' or 'dude', and 'triste' which means 'sad'. Therefore, 'marico triste' could be loosely translated as 'sad friend' or 'sad dude'. However, it's important to note that 'marico' can also be used as a derogatory term depending on the context.

Examples

  • Spanish: Juan siempre está tan deprimido, es un marico triste.
  • English: Juan is always so depressed, he's a sad dude.
