Community Tutor🇦🇷 Spanish word of the day: QUILOMBO
👉🏽 Today, in everyday language (Argentina), quilombo usually means: a mess, chaos, or a complicated situation.
For example:
“El tráfico hoy es un quilombo.”
It’s a very common word in informal conversations, but it’s not something you usually learn in traditional Spanish courses.
