A geek — obsessive about a niche interest.
Covers comics, gaming, anime, tech, role-playing. Largely worn with pride now, much like "geek" in English — *soy un friki de los videojuegos*. It can still mean weird if the tone is unkind.
From English "freaky", respelled Spanish-style.
Friendly about yourself, potentially rude about someone else.
Reading a definition isn't the same as saying it to someone. Lingo Kaiava is a voice tutor set to Spanish (Spain) Spanish — it uses friki the way locals do, corrects you in the moment, and never "fixes" the way real people actually talk into textbook Spanish (Spain) Spanish.
