文化背景
In Spain, this is often used in business contexts, but the older 'A río revuelto' is still more common in rural or traditional settings. Mexicans often use this to describe the 'hustle' culture in cities like CDMX, where navigating bureaucracy is a daily challenge. Given the history of economic volatility, Argentines are very familiar with the concept of finding opportunity in crisis. Used in the context of the growing tech and startup scene in cities like Medellín.
Focus on the 'h'
Remember that the 'h' in 'hay' is silent. Don't pronounce it!
Use it sparingly
This is a strong, philosophical phrase. Don't use it in every conversation or it will lose its impact.
