Vibe
Significado: A feeling, atmosphere, or energy given off by a person, place, or situation.
'Vibe' has become one of the most essential words in modern American English. It describes the intangible feeling of a situation — 'good vibes' means a positive atmosphere, 'bad vibes' means something feels off. As a verb, 'vibing' means enjoying yourself or connecting with something. 'Vibe check' is a quick assessment of the mood.
