EN: lust, sensual desire, flirtatiousness
The old-school word for 'landi'. It's that spark, that flirtatious energy. While 'landi' is more everyday and can be playful, 'biga' sounds more intense, more deliberate, and a bit more scandalous. It’s the vibe your lola warns you about.
Carries a stronger, more serious, and often negative connotation than the modern term 'landi'. Pronounced with stress on the last syllable, distinguishing it from the plant 'biga' (/BI-ga/).
