Cuban Spanish is known for its expressiveness. Key phrases include “¿Qué bolá?” (What’s up?) and “Acere” (Buddy/Friend). A common saying is “Estar en la mala” (To be in the bad), meaning to be going through tough times. The idiom “Meter la pata” (To put in the leg) means to make a mistake or blunder.
