You can say someone is "Negado" or "Negada". It is an adjective meaning completely useless for something, e.g. "Ese gringo es negado para el español." ;-)

negado, da.

(Del part. de negar).

1. adj. Incapaz o totalmente inepto para algo. U. t. c. s.

Gracias gente!

while I would like to extend the context.

Here I go...

I was talking over phone to a friend of mine who lives in Pereira, I was mentioning some words to her and asked her whether she knows the meaning of it, she said yes.

I laughed out : )))

But she said I am not a Movarda.

I asked the meaning, she said “Non Student”

So I am sure about the word existence.

Can you guys give some more try..

Thanks

Shan

perhaps...mofarse (mofada), mofarse de: to scoff at, to make fun of. when you laughed out - is it possible she was telling you not to scoff? was she telling you that you were not something or not to do something? (maybe it's a bit of a stretch!?!)

I believe it means bad person or evil-doer...something to that effect.

"bruto" , which means slow to catch on, would better describe someone who is struggling to learn a new concept...but that's not even close to what you thought the word sounded like???

Malparido is used very often in Colombia, which might seem like bad person or evil doer; but probably not illiterate?

Aunque no me creas/ si me lo propongo/ lograre olvidarte/ porque a fin de cuentas/ no soy tan cobarde./ Y termino todo una de estas tardes/ no sera dificil buscar algún sitio donde refugiarme/ donde nunca mas vuelvas a encontrarme. (Polo Montañez)
