Cultural Note
Spanish-speaking cultures are sometimes perceived as louder in conversation, but gritar specifically implies raised, aggressive, or excited volume. In arguments, 'No me grites' is a common boundary-setting phrase. In Spain, lively debate at higher volumes is culturally normal and not always considered 'gritar.'
