معنی
To turn red in the face due to embarrassment or shame.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Spain, 'ponerse como un tomate' is the most frequent idiomatic variation used in casual conversation. Argentines frequently use 'colorado' instead of 'rojo'. 'Ponerse colorado' is the standard way to describe blushing there. In Mexico, it's common to use 'dar pena' (to feel shame/embarrassment) alongside 'ponerse rojo' to explain the feeling.
Match the Gender
Always remember: if you are a woman, say 'roja'. If you are a man, say 'rojo'.
Don't forget the 'se'
This verb is reflexive. Without 'me, te, se', the sentence won't make sense.
