معنی
To feel emotional and on the verge of crying.
زمینه فرهنگی
Expressing emotion is generally encouraged. Saying you have a 'nudo en la garganta' is a common way for men to express being moved without breaking the traditional 'machismo' expectation of not fully crying. This phrase is a staple in dramatic scripts. It's used to build tension before a major emotional revelation or a 'llanto' (crying fit). Authors like García Márquez use this to describe the physical weight of nostalgia or 'soledad' (solitude).
Use 'Se me hizo'
To sound more native, use 'Se me hizo un nudo...' when something suddenly makes you emotional.
Not for sickness
Never use this at the doctor's office unless you are crying about your diagnosis!
