9 5. Cool Spanish! Cutre! How do you say something is really scummy, dirty, or down-at-heel? What about that bar on the corner with rubbish all over the floor and dirty plates? Ese bar es muy cutre That bar is really filthy Or the hotel with dirty carpets and smelly sheets? El hotel era super cutre The hotel was really scummy What about if your friend takes you out in her 15 year old, rusty car? Qué coche mas cutre tienes! What a terrible old car you ve got! Can people be cutre? Oh yes! But in different ways. If you go round to your friend s house for dinner and they run out of beer, you might say, jokingly: Qué cutres sois! How cheap you guys are! Another example is related to the quality of someone s work. If a guy in your office, Juan, always turns in bad or half-finished reports, you might say: Qué cutre es Juan! Juan is pretty rubbish!
