Cultural Tip
TikTok challenges (or “retos”) spread fast among Spanish‑speaking youth, often mixing slang and regional expressions. When talking about them, it’s common to use the English word “challenge” or the Spanish “reto”. Keep the tone casual; using “viral” signals you’re up‑to‑date with internet culture. In some Latin American countries, you might hear “challenge” more often than “reto”.
