Different meanings of 'tíguere'

But we can't forget how influenced he was Motomami by the Dominican Republic and precisely there this word is used to refer to a very cunning person, expert in manipulation, who gets what he wants through deception, fraud or whatever means.

If we focus on the Dictionary of Americanisms from the Association of Academies of the Spanish Language, we find more definitions for this word.

On the one hand, in the Dominican Republic it is used to refer to a “rude, brash or daring person, usually young”. Also for a “person whose identity is unknown or does not want to be said.”

If we focus on Puerto Rico, it would be the same as tiger or it could have to do with a “argument, fight with excessive advantage of one over the other”. But it doesn't fit with the Catalan song.

Everything suggests that it is closer to the meanings that are included in the country of Tokischa and that he has resorted to it as a counterpoint to Celine Dionto point out that It can be the best and the worst. The fact is that the important thing is to be free to be able to choose yourself who you want to be. Of course, it has become the favorite bar for many.
