bundle
Usage Note
Lío is informal and very versatile: it can mean a physical bundle or roll, a mess or muddle (¡qué lío! — what a mess!), a complicated situation, or a romantic affair (tener un lío — to have a fling). The written accent distinguishes lío (mess) from the form lio (I tie) of the verb liar. Register is colloquial; prefer problema or complicación in formal writing.
Examples
"¡Menudo lío armaste con eso!"
Natural Translation
What a mess you made with that!
