creída

Creída is a Spanish word that translates to "conceited," "vain," or "arrogant" in English. It is used to describe someone who has an excessively high opinion of themselves, their abilities, or their appearance. This self-importance can manifest in various ways, such as boastfulness, a tendency to dismiss others' opinions, or an unwarranted sense of entitlement. The term is generally considered negative and implies a lack of humility.

The adjective "creída" is the feminine form, while "creído" is the masculine form. It can be applied to both men and women. The word often suggests that the individual's belief in their own superiority is not based on genuine merit or accomplishment but rather on an inflated ego. While related to arrogance, "creída" can sometimes carry a connotation of superficiality, implying that the conceit stems from a focus on external validation or a perceived attractiveness that the person overestimates.

In colloquial usage, calling someone "creído" or "creída" is a mild criticism, often used to point out someone's perceived overconfidence or pride. It can be a way to describe someone who is perceived as stuck-up or acting like they are better than others. The context in which the word is used can influence the precise nuance, but the core meaning remains centered on excessive self-regard.
