Usage Note
Ficha covers a wide range of flat tokens or cards: a domino tile, a casino chip, a record card or file (ficha policial — police record), or a form to fill in. Echar fichas is informal for hitting on someone (flirting). The related verb is fichar — both 'to clock in/out' at work and 'to sign' a player for a team.
Examples
