Here a link for that "La patrona" could work better for Mexico so please check this out before you get into trouble with your girlfriend. I understand that Mexicans call their mother "la jefa" or "la jefecita".
Unless you are in some smelly business together and you want to call her capo :)īear in mind, though, what DGaleano comments below:
So if you want to jokingly call Boss to your girlfriend, I would go for Jefa. capo: is normally used to refer to mafia bosses and it comes directly from the Italian ( capo means head in Italian, and in Romanic languages head also means leader).In Spain, I hardly ever hear it in colloquial conversations, but (as noted by Nox in comments) it is used to mention the captain of a ship. patrón: as indicated above, this word refers to a boss in a work place.jefe: this is, to me, the most straight-forward way to translate boss.patrono (‖ persona que emplea trabajadores).Īll of them can apply here, since Pablo Escobar was seen as something in between a boss, a saint and a protector among his workers. señor (‖ persona a la que sirve un criado).Ħ. Dueño de la casa donde alguien se aloja u hospeda.ĥ. Santo elegido como protector de un pueblo o congregación religiosa, profesional o civil.Ĥ. Basically (I don't know if you understand Spanish) meaning boss, but also other things.įrom what I see in the definition, patrón does not have any special meaning in Colombia, so you can go directly to the Dictionary of the RAE and check the word:ĭel lat. That is, a great set of meanings for patrón depending on the country. Gráfico fijo con líneas y colores que permiten ajustar la imagen de un televisor.Ĭ. Persona que ejerce un poder despótico y arbitrario. Se usa como tratamiento de respeto a alguien.Ī. The Diccionario de americanismos is a great tool for these kind of questions.
