How it's actually used

"Buco gente" means a ton of people. Everyday casual Panamanian Spanish.

Examples

Where it comes from

From French "beaucoup," which reached Panama through Caribbean contact.

Now actually use it out loud

Reading a definition isn't the same as saying it to someone. Lingo Kaiava is a voice tutor set to Panamanian Spanish — it uses buco the way locals do, corrects you in the moment, and never "fixes" the way real people actually talk into textbook Panamanian Spanish.
