estar que trina

[lillyblue]

Hola!

If I say that somebody "estar que trina" I mean very mad or angry?
In what context it is usually used in Spanish?

Oh, and "como boca de lobo" means sth is very, very dark yes?

thanks for help

"estar que trina", you are right, it means the person is very, very angry, it is very coloquial.

And you are right again, "como boca de lobo" is said when a place is very, very dark.

Bye!

Hello Lilly,
You're right in both of your meannings. "Estar que trina" is an expression used in not formal descriptions, and is related with the idea of being so angry that you could "sound", like a pressurized vessel before exploding (ja!).
And yes.., "como boca de lobo" means very dark.
Regards.
